The Cheonggye-myeon Youth Association (President Lee Tae-seok) and the Cheonggye-myeon Volunteer Crime Prevention Unit (President Hwang Seung-hwan) in Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do, held a street campaign opposing the relocation of the military airport to Muan on the morning of the 28th at 7 a.m. in front of the Cheonggye Police Substation, with about 20 participants including youth members and volunteer crime prevention unit members.

Members of the two social organizations, the Youth Association and the Volunteer Crime Prevention Unit, stated that the relocation of the military airport is a critical issue that threatens the survival of their region and the development of the southwestern area, and they participated in the campaign to express their strong opposition and to raise awareness about the harms caused by the military airport.

The youth association and volunteer crime prevention unit members said in unison, "If the military airport were selected through a public contest targeting desired areas, there would be no problem, but we cannot understand why the issue is not resolved logically and why only Muan-gun is being forced to make unilateral sacrifices." They added, "As young people protecting the region, the Youth Association and the Volunteer Crime Prevention Unit will continue their efforts to block the relocation of the military airport to Muan until the end."
