On this day, Park Moon-jae, the Standing Co-Chairman, stated in the statement, “The city of Gwangju replaced any apology to the Jeonnam residents who suffered damages due to the suspension of the civilian airport relocation with mere expressions of regret, showing only remorse without any apology,” and added, “As one of the 2 million residents, I felt deep frustration at the acceptance of such expressions of regret that lack respect and consideration for the residents.”
Chairman Park emphasized, “While I fundamentally agree with the comprehensive and inclusive regional development measures through a pan-government consultative body as claimed by both provinces and cities, there is a problem with the current unilateral promotion method that only causes unnecessary disputes and conflicts between regions,” and stressed, “The Gwangju military airfield relocation project should be reconsidered from the beginning, allowing regions that wish to host it to apply, and that is the true path for Gwangju and Jeonnam to coexist.”

He also stated, “If, by any chance, the military airfield relocation is unilaterally pushed forward with Muan-gun in mind as it is now, the 90,000 residents of Muan will be filled with resentment and anger and will join in blocking the relocation, and the responsibility for this lies squarely with the Mayor of Gwangju and the Governor of Jeonnam,” and added, “Please keep in mind that the residents of the province and Muan-gun are always watching.”
