The rapid development of high technology in the 21st century has not only changed human life in the most fundamental way ever but also enhanced the dynamics and complexity of society as a whole. As a result, most of recent social problems are intertwined with scientific technologies. As Korea has already entered into the stage of `high-tech society,` socio-technological conflicts tend to be gradually diversified and complicated. Therefore, social effort for interaction between the technology system and the social system is urgently required. This study attempts to examine the manifest and latent issues related to social acceptance of scientific technology by focusing on Living Modified Organism(LMO). On the one hand, it is considered that LMO is the most pivotal technology for economical development and national prosperity in the future. On the other hand, however, it is strongly criticized by its severe harmfulness for human race and environment. For identifying the degree of consensus and conflict, this paper draws upon in-depth interview with professionals selected among five groups such as scientist, corporate executive, government official, civil movement leader, and journalist in the field of LMO. The results of content analysis showed that `economic benefit vs ecological risk`is the core in dispute. This study also confirmed that contrary informations as well as confusion of terminology aggravated discordance among professionals and interest groups. Therefore, the findings of this study strongly demonstrated the urgent need for establishing the communication system among LMO professionals in order to reduce social conflicts and eventually to achieve national consensus for social acceptance of highly advanced scientific technologies in the 21st century. Besides, new experience of interdisciplinary study attempted in this paper would be helpful to set up academically inclusive community among natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities for further study.
