Seoul officials boycott ceremony celebrating future use of Yongsan land
Looks like the mayor is still ticked off. I can respect a politician that attempts to keep his campaign promise.

Quote:
Newly elected Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon boycotted the National Museum of Korea ceremony because he opposes the government’s desire to develop high-rise residences and businesses where the U.S. Army’s Yongsan Garrison now sits, according to Lee Duk-su, Seoul City Hall’s Urban Planning Bureau general director.

Oh campaigned on the promise that he’ll push to make the entire 653 acres a public green space when U.S. officials close the base and move U.S. Forces Korea headquarters south of Seoul in 2008.
As long as we keep the Dragon Hill I will be happy!

Mike

Re: Seoul officials boycott ceremony celebrating future use of Yongsan land
This is still going on?? This was going on when I was there a few years back. But We will probobly end up keeping DHL... I don't see them giving that up. I know one of the major hang ups back in the day was that the Korean's wanted the State Dept Houseing too.
