Gureombi Rock, the symbol of Gangjeong. This lava formation, shaped by waves over tens of thousands of years, was blasted in 2012 to make way for the naval base.

But the memory of people who prayed, sang, and danced on Gureombi never faded. The story of this village — where peace prayers have been offered every morning for nearly 20 years — is the root of this camp.

Not with military bases, but with music. Not through confrontation, but through solidarity. Gangjeong Peace Music Camp is a festival built on this memory. Because the most beautiful resistance is singing together.
From Palestine to the Korean Peninsula — as long as war does not end, our song will not end either
Let's sing, let's dance, end the war!
