  • Tetra pods were filed up too high.. Some of them should be removed and laid down (April 30)

  • The fissure in the connected parts between No. 24 and 25 caissons in the 1st work area (Samsung-supervised west and south breakwater formation) has been more serious. Further, it is opposite side from sea wave. The companies can hardly even fit the caisson heights, which proves unreliable construction (April 30)

  • Workers. One of them even without work hat. (April 30)

  • The construction truck is even taken off back plate. The contents in the truck that must be too large to illegality are laid down. (April 30)

  • The Gureombi rock is being destroyed both in the port (west) and Moetppuri (east) side. Reclamation of land with cement is also done at the same time. The shocking noise as to the land being shifted is continued. What an 24 hour destruction for the U.S. base!(May 3)

  • Each damaged caisson is scrapped at the cost of 1 to 2 billion won, which come from out tax. The whole destruction is irresponsible. (May 4)

I take photos with telescope and mobile phone put onto it. I can’t use a tripod because of strong wind. The telescope has been broken in two pieces which are put together by tape. Because of strong wind, I will hesitate to use good quality equipment, even if it is given to me.”

It has been for months that Moetppuri Park has monitored illegal destruction, setting up a lonely tent in the Moetppuri, the eastern tip of the naval base project area.  Here are some of his records in photos and captions from April 27 to May 3 (Source)

Criticizing illegal, irresponsible destruction of heaven-blessed nature, he says,

“For the destruction companies, so called national security project is seen only for profit.”
