The Incheon activists, having the protest in front of Incheon City Hall criticized that the Key Resolve
that has been with the advanced weapons, was not for the defense exercise but for the attack against North Korea, and was the illegal war exercise, a violation of constitution that pursed the peaceful unification.
both authorities of them should stop the Key Resolve war exercise, as they had stopped the Team Spirit military training in 1994 for the talk with North Korea.
