'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

While construction was done in part on Sunday, Shin Goo-Beom, a former Island governor and now, a leader of the Jeju Creative Party, visited the village. Shin opposes the naval base construction in the Gangjeong village and has recently been active to save Gangjeong along with his son, Shin Yong-In, lawyer and Party members.



The boards read:
"Movie critic, Yang Yoon-Mo's 12th day hunger strike in jail to stop the illegal Jeju naval base construction and to urge the punishment of the policemen who violently arrested him."
"Absolutely no Jeju naval base construction interspersed with systematic violence"


Otherwise Hyun Ae-Ja, a chairwoman of the Jeju branch of the Democratic Labor Party, visited the village with her party members. They planted a tree near the naval base field office and its construction fence. Their children wrote on the stones, ‘no naval base.’
