I think no matter what the government does these protesters will never be happy because this is not about environmental concerns, but instead a not in my backyard mentality:
Officials from the defense and environment ministries measure electromagnetic radiation and noise from the site of the THAAD deployment in Seongju, some 300 kilometers south of Seoul, on Aug. 12, 2017, as part of the environmental survey on the controversial U.S. missile defense system. (Yonhap)
Local residents and activists campaigning against the deployment of an advanced U.S. missile defense system said Sunday they will not accept the outcome of a government survey that ruled out the possibility of its serious environmental damage.
On Saturday, the government announced the result of a survey of electromagnetic radiation and noise from the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in Seongju, some 300 kilometers southeast of Seoul.
The defense ministry said the radiation level was far below the regulatory protection standard and the noise level in the residential areas is also on par with the maximum regulatory threshold.
Seongju residents and civic groups denounced those findings, saying it is not credible since the test was only done by the government and without any experts from the private sector.
“There was no one in the assessment team that we recommended, and it is not acceptable since it’s not a full test but a very partial one done to wrap up the whole process, which is illegal,” said Lee Seok-ju, a representative of the Seongju residents. [Yonhap]
Of course they won’t because they have their orders from nK and China. A couple of agents are allowed to leave an entire nation undefended. Moon needs to decide whose side he is on; South Korea or nK.

When THAAD destroys four DPRK IRBM’s targeting Guam, Moon Jae In will look pretty stupid for capping the THAAD deployment at 16 interceptors and letting the protestors block the full deployment of the system. Moon’s decision to allow a small group of protestors to block the roads is inconsistent with the rule of law which Moon supposedly cherishes.
