Camp Humphreys expansion controversy

The Pyeongtaek US military base relocation issue refers to a series of incidents that occurred around the end of 2008 between the US 2nd Infantry Division and the Camp Humphreys military base in Yongsan District, Seoul, South Korea, between the local residents and civic groups and the Ministry of the Republic of Korea regarding the relocation and expansion of the base. In a broad sense, it includes the opposition of residents and civic groups and the clashes with the police that occurred after the decision to relocate the US military base in 2004, and in a narrow sense, it refers only to the large-scale clashes resulting from the administrative execution that the police were deployed to on May 4, 2006. It is also called the Daechuri Incident (大秋里 事態) or the Camp Humphreys expansion controversy and the operation name is Hwangsaeul at Dawn.
