environmentalist movement she inspired from the blame of having cost the country billions in halting construction. She won her suit, resulting in the payment of 10 won to her person (about 1 U.S. cent). Both the hunger strikes and her "salamander suit" were part of her Green Resonance movement. Her campaign was from 2003 to 2009. She initially noticed the problem of the transit project in 2001. Widely reported in the mainstream press and in the popular alternative media, her actions provoked outpouring of support as well as fierce public controversies over the ethical and long-term political implications of her protest technique. Her diary was published (in Korean) in 2004. Her second environmental campaign involved the Four Major Rivers Project, which she started advocating against in 2009. Her form of protest for this environmental issue was taking notes, pictures, and video of these rivers and then showing her documentation of the rivers well-being at schools and public meetings in South Korea. In 2010, she helped run a ‘Nakdong River pilgrimage’ program. This was open to the general public. In 2013, she directed her indie film called “Following Sand River," utilizing the notes, video, and pictures she took. This was to help bring the issue of this river damming to the greater attention of her nation. The government also went ahead with this project despite Jiyul's advocacy that they do the opposite.
