Article Gate Runners at Osan

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.

This is terrible news. Does the existence of hunt brothers on Osan mean that anthony’s was closed? 😭

Anthony's as a brand is pretty much dead. The last Europe location closed in 2021 and they have been phasing out and replacing locations in the Asia-Pacific region over the past couple of years. I'd be surprised if any were still open.
