The ‘Camp Market’, a US military base in Bupyeong in the center of the city, has been opened to citizens after 81 years. The citizens hoped that this place, which had been a forbidden land, would become a citizen park where history lives and breathes. Assistant reporter Ki-jung Lee. It is the moment when the entrance gate of the camp market opens, which was a forbidden land. The 93,000 m2 site, which the Korean US Forces used for baseball fields and theaters, was opened to the public after 81 years. The opening event commemorating the historic moment was held both online and offline in accordance with the COVID-19 prevention guidelines. The area was built as a weapons factory by the Japanese army in 1939, and after liberation, the town of Ascum, the headquarters of the US Army, was built and later turned into a camp market. In the camp market, various structures, such as the ruins of the Japanese-made Chobyeongchang building, remain in their original form, and the value of conservation is being investigated. Citizens expressed their expectation that the US military base would become a park, and the feelings of the elderly who had been there for the first time in their 80s were very different. The camp market will be partially open from 9 am to 5 pm. Many tasks remain. There are still facilities operated by the US military, so only about half of the 440,000 square meters of donated area has been returned, and the rest of the procedures are ongoing. In particular, there are contents that will be discussed with the Ministry of Defense and the USFK in Korea, such as the purification of contaminated soils such as dioxins. In terms of how to use the camp market with modern history, the City of Incheon plans to recreate it as a time traveler space where past and future coexist, but in no rush.
