A new survey shows that three out of ten South Koreans believe that the unification of the two Koreas is not necessary. 

The Institute for Peace and Unification Studies at Seoul National University unveiled on Friday the results of its survey on one-thousand-200 adults nationwide on how they view unification. 

According to the survey, 43-point-eight percent said unification is necessary. This is the lowest figure on record since related studies began in 2007. 

Twenty-nine-point-eight percent of respondents said unification is not necessary, with those in their 20s particularly having negative views.

The survey found that a little over 30 percent believe it would take more than 30 years for the two Koreas to reunify. 
 
The survey conducted between July 4 and 27 has a 95 percent confidence level with a margin of error of plus or minus two-point-eight percentage points.
