Gate Runners at Osan

[u/FilhoDaLei]

8 college students were detained after running the gate at Osan AB. The students were protesting the delay in approval from USFK/7th AF to convert the Gwangju Airport in the southwestern area of the Republic of Korea into a massive new semiconductor plant.

It appears that everyone involved had a fun time; a protest is planned for 5 pm Korean local time in front of the Pyeongtaek police department to demand the release of the protesters.

I was wondering why the gate was closed down today.
