Yoon Seok Lee, Simultaneous Attraction of Civil and Military Airports... "Developing into a Mammoth-Scale International Airport"

Military Airport Attraction in Unified Mokpo City... Construction of Artificial Island and Runway at Sea

Lifetime Defense Pension to Be Paid to Nearby Residents

On the morning of the 26th, Lee Yun-seok, a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly member of Mokpo City, announced a statement declaring his intention to attract a military airport to the integrated Mokpo City.

In the statement, Candidate Lee said, “Along with my first pledge to promote the integration of Mokpo, Sinan, and Muan, I will attract the Gwangju military airport to the maritime area of the integrated Mokpo City,” and promised, “I will also push for the relocation of the Gwangju civilian airport to the integrated Mokpo City simultaneously with the military airport attraction, developing it into a mammoth-scale international airport.”

He continued, “For security reasons, I cannot disclose details now, but we will create an artificial island based on several uninhabited islands far offshore in the integrated Mokpo City and build military airport-related facilities such as runways there,” adding, “Since it is far offshore, I believe there will be no significant damage to the local area, but for residents in the nearest regions, we will provide a so-called ‘Lifetime Defense Pension.’”

He especially noted, “Attracting a military airport will bring astronomical support. If we negotiate with Gwangju Metropolitan City, the beneficiary of the relocation, to receive additional large compensation, it will greatly help revitalize the economy of the integrated Mokpo City,” and expressed expectations about the military airport attraction, saying, “The production inducement effect, added value inducement effect, and employment inducement effect during both the construction and unit stationing phases are also expected to be enormous.”

Candidate Lee Yun-seok also expressed his determination, stating, “If there are any obstacles to attracting and relocating the military airport, I will resolve them through legislation.”

Meanwhile, Candidate Lee Yun-seok is a two-term National Assembly member who served in the 18th and 19th National Assembly, a three-term member of the Jeonnam Provincial Assembly, the chairman of the provincial council, and a university president. This year, he declared his candidacy for the Mokpo City electoral district in the general election and is actively campaigning under the banner of “Mokpo Metropolitan Era through the Integration of Mokpo, Muan, and Sinan.”
