Is it true that the radiation dose in Seoul,Korea is too high?

In Japan, there was an accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant,so the space radiation dose became higher in the East of Japan. In South Korea, nuclear power plant accident has not been reported.

However, I read some private reports that radiation dose in Seoul is high. http://cutplaza.blogspot.jp/2013/09/radiation-very...

Is it true?

When the dose of radiation was measured in the South Korean soul, the very high dose of radiation was measured.

0.22 uSv per hour of inside of shop.

4.32 uSv per hour which comes outside shop.

[Reference]

Japan Fukushima habitation restraining area 3.4 uSv per hour

Fukushima prepared evacuation area 1.5 uSv per hour

Fukushima evacuation directive release preparation area 1.1 uSv per hour

Japan Tokyo 0.03 to 0.05 uSv per hour

Japan Sendai 0.07 uSv per hour

USA New York 0.25 uSv per hour

UK London 0.25 uSv per hour

France Paris 0.06 uSv per hour

Italy Roma 0.25 uSv per hour

China Beijing 0.08 uSv per hour

Taiwan Taipei 0.058 uSv per hour

Update:

I found the data which Korean organization originated.

http://www.stubbytour.com/nuc/index_en.asp

Korea Seoul 0.108 uSv per hour

Korea Incheon 0.115

Korea Busan 0.111

The data in Korea are not too high,and lower than in New York and London ,but much higher than in Japan except near Fukushima.
