1. Jungduk Coast in the Night on April 20, 2010

If you go to the Joongduk coast during the clear night with many stars in the sky, and quiet water in the sea where the calm water makes the row white spots by its being stricken to the rocks, you may see the deeper beauty of Gangjeong Sea where the Jeju naval base is planned. You may also hear the chorus of frogs that break the silence in the coast.

Artist Kim took the two photos here. There was a chief digital camera and these two photos were we could do best to record such beautiful night in the coast. He couldn’t take the stars but the flags the villagers set up on the rocky coast and Prof’ Yang’s tent in the night.

It would be really sorry if the base is set up and such landscape is gone by the base construction, Prof. Yang Yoon-Mo who has been in tent for more than eight months in this Joongduk coast said.

2. 'No Naval Base' Underwater Protest in 2008 (URL source: Jeju Sori)

'[A]ctivists from Jeju, on October 18, [2008] were holding an action to oppose the construction of the Navy base on Jeju Island. Six people from a local village on the island went underwater on October 18 and held banners amongst the colorful coral protesting the base and expressing their concern that the coral life would be destroyed by the Aegis.'

'제주도의 활동가들이 10 월 18 일, 제주도에 해군 기지를 세우는 것을 반대하기 위한 시위를 하고 있었던 것을 우리는 거의 알지 못했다. 10 월 18일, 섬의 마을의 6 명이 물속으로 들어가 색깔찬연한 산호가운데서 이지스에 의해 산호가 파괴될 것이란 우려를 표명하며 기지 반대 배너들을 드리웠다.'
