Dear members,

I am happy to report that with an overwhelming support from many of you as
well as non-members, finally the statement has been released to the press.
It got endorsements from 240 signatories (list follows this message), not
including many others who have expressed support but somehow their e-mail
messages to korea.democracy at gmail.com either came in too late, never came,
or got lost. I would also like to thank Scott and Don for sharing for
their views, and their points are extremely well taken.

I'm attaching both the final English and Korean versions of the statement.

Yours,
Gene
