[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do announced on the 11th that the Unnam-myeon Military Airport Relocation Opposition Committee, the Prosperity Association, and Saemaeul Women's Association held a protest against the relocation of Gwangju Military Airport at Yeonghae Park on the 10th.

On that day, the residents criticized the government and Gwangju Metropolitan City for forcing the sacrifice of Muan County by pushing forward the relocation of the combat airfield, showing united strength and strong determination to withdraw the military airport relocation.

A resident who participated in the protest said, "Recently, applications for military airport hosting in other regions have become an issue, but each region has different circumstances and positions," adding, "If the military airport is relocated, I am worried that farmers will suffer great damage due to fighter jet noise."

Jung Hoe-sul, chairman of the Unnam-myeon Military Airport Relocation Opposition Committee, said, "Despite the opposition of Muan residents to the relocation of Gwangju Military Airport, the government and Gwangju Metropolitan City continue to promote the relocation," emphasizing, "We will concentrate all our capabilities to block the relocation of the military airport and pass on a clean Muan to future generations."
