Ninety-one South Koreans on May 24 filed a suit against both the Chinese and South Korean governments, demanding compensation for the mental distress they suffered due to pollution.

According to Yonhap News Agency, 10 plaintiffs filed a case with the Seoul Central District Court, seeking 3 million won ($2,600) in compensation on behalf of 81 others. Two of the plaintiffs, Choi Yul, president of the Korea Green Foundation, and attorney Ahn Kyung-jae, filed a similar case in April, but decided to take action again after they dropped the original suit. This time around, more people said they want to take part.

Both the South Korean government and the public have been pointing fingers at China for years, claiming that most of Seoul’s pollution was external in origin – mainly from China. In response to South Korea’s accusations, Hua Chunying, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, noted in March that scientific studies and analysis are needed to definitively determine whether China’s air pollution affects neighboring countries.

Though the South Korean government has laid the bulk of the blame on China, it turns a blind eye to the fact that South Korea itself is the second-largest importer of liquefied natural gas in the world, while its electricity generation mainly comes from conventional thermal power, especially coal-fired power plants.

According to statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, coal consumption in South Korea increased by 56 percent between 2005 and 2015, while fossil fuels generated about 64 percent of South Korea’s electricity in 2015. Coal-fired power is the dominant fossil fuel used to generate electricity in South Korea, the fourth-largest importer of coal in the world.

Even more problematically, though the country has decided to utilize more clean energy and reduce emissions, it is still committed to building 20 new coal-fired plants by 2022.
