Episode Details

Eight South Korean students stormed a U.S. air base in Osan, shouting anti-American slogans like “Let’s smash U.S. Seventh Air Force,” before being detained by U.S. military and handed over to police. Now facing investigation under strict military protection laws, all remain silent, invoking their right to remain uncooperative. While the Korean Progressive University Student Union claims they protested U.S. opposition to a major semiconductor project — one with alleged U.S. economic stakes — neither police nor the U.S. military have confirmed or addressed that motive. This isn’t the first time student protests have clashed with U.S. military presence in Korea, recalling 2019’s raid on the U.S. ambassador’s residence over troop cost disputes. Tensions simmer beneath the surface of a long-standing alliance, fueled by history and shifting geopolitical priorities.
