Gyeonggi-do, where the government has been tug-of-war with the United States, received four US military bases in Dongducheon, Wonju, Gangwon, and Incheon. These are empty bases that have already been left behind by American troops. Who was responsible for keeping the contaminated site clean and who was responsible for the cost? The issue was to continue to consult with the United States. Along with this, negotiations on returning to the Yongsan base in Seoul also began.

First of all, I am reporter Kim Ah-young.

This is a US military base camp market in Bupyeong, Incheon, closed in July 2011.

The government has returned four US military bases here and in Wonju and Dongducheon.

It's been about 10 years since we went through the sofa, the USFK status agreement.

The return was delayed due to the war between the US and US over who would pay for the cleanup of the polluted base. The government decided to return the base and continue negotiations.

Over time, the cost of cleanup is low, and the social costs of delayed development are also high.

I'm standing outside the camp market right now.

Road construction is in full swing, and as you can see, it was blocked in front of the base.

[Residence / camp market: Turn to this side, turn to the side… ” . I hope it goes away quickly because of the local economy. You'll love it if it becomes a park or something.]

The local governments welcomed the announcement, including plans to create a park.

[Park Nam-Chun / Incheon Mayor: (Immediately as soon as the hazard is eliminated) First, I will open it and return it to the citizens. We will revise the district unit plan by 2021.]

The return process for the Yongsan Base, which was left only for CFC and US military, also began.

The government explained that it couldn't be too late to start building the park in 2022.

The return and transfer of USFK bases was formulated in 2003 and 22 of the 80 bases returned are still unreturned.
