Putting a Sad base in Sungju, North Gyeongsang Province, is not over yet. Now it is time to temporarily investigate how it affects the surrounding environment by placing it on the ground of an old golf course. Again, residents are rebelling.

80 households, more than 140 residents of Sogong-ri village in Choseon-myeon, Seongju-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

Every day at 3:00 pm, residents gather in front of the old Lotte golf course, the front gate of USFK Sad Base, and shout Sad and withdraw.

[Saad, come peace. Saad, no, peace comes.]

When you climb the hill from the village, you can see the base at a glance.

The Sad launcher is set up to intercept an enemy missile at any time.

Now it is a temporary arrangement that can not do the ground work, so I put a movable aluminum plate on it and put the launcher on it.

To build a base with concrete, launchers, radar, and fire control equipment must be properly tested for general environmental impact.

A month ago, the USFK submitted a business plan to the Ministry of Defense for the 700,000 - square - meter site of the Sad base site, and the general environmental impact assessment process began immediately.

A government source said, "The evaluation agency is preparing the evaluation preparation sheet based on the USFK business plan." The general environmental impact assessment started in earnest. "

It takes about one year to organize a General Environmental Impact Assessment Council, to hold inhabitants briefing sessions and public hearings, and to complete this evaluation.

Residents say they will stop the evaluation itself.

[Jong-hee Lee / Joint chairperson of Sogong-ri residents' council: If the situation of peace has changed since last year, it should be picked out even temporarily. However, a general environmental impact assessment is a series of acts with a normal deployment in mind. I can not accept it anymore.]

The 21st general election in April next year, and the opposition of China, which seems to have seen the fire, are also elements of the controversy over the official placement of Sad.
