2005 Protests
Following a series of large protests against the U.S. and Republic of Korea governments' plan to expand Camp Humphreys make it the main base for most U.S. troops in South Korea., residents of Daechuri and other small villages near Pyeongtaek agreed to a government settlement to leave their homes in 2006 and allow for the base expansion. Compensation for the land averaged 600 million won (about 600,000 USD) per resident.
