In this episode, we speak with Jeju-based peace activist Sung-Hee Choi, who has spent more than 15 years resisting U.S. militarism, weapons manufacturing, and the construction of a naval base on Jeju Island, South Korea.

Sung-Hee is a board member of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space and a participant in the Pacific Peace Network. She speaks with us about the long legacy of anti-militarist resistance on Jeju Island, from the 1948 massacre to the ongoing corporate-led militarisation of land, sea, and space.

We also trace the role of Hanwha as they open a new space centre on Jeju Island, South Korea’s largest weapons company, in global war profiteering, including their new weapons facility in Avalon, Victoria, developed with Australian government support, and subcontracting Elbit Systems an Israeli arms company complicit in the genocide in Gaza.
