'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)

Mr. Kim Min-Soo (31) is an animator. He has lived in Gangjeong village since August 2009 and has contributed to the struggle against the naval base with his art works. The third photo is the painting he has recently drawn and completed with his senior friend, artist Koh Kwon-Il in front of Joongduk coast. The painting describes the map of the village that has a school, community center etc.

He has recently begun the snack stalls with Mr. Koh in front of Joongduk coast. About 10% of the income goes to the Village People's Council while the rest goes for the struggle. He is also getting the petitions against the naval base from the Olle tourists who visit the Joongduk coast. About 200 people do the sign a day.
