Yeah that’s an odd one, barricades are usually only used if there is a risk of the aircraft going off the runway and hitting something that can actually have people in it like a building or a highway…
It’s not uncommon to have these at the end of the runway but it’s the first time I’ve seen one that seems to be solely to protect the ILS antennas…
I will correct myself I’ve seen arresting walls like this protecting non-human life endangering equipment on military runways where a loss of a single aircraft and either a single pilot or a crew can be less significant than the operational degradation of the airfield.
I actually wonder if there is some requirement in South Korea to harden civilian airfields due to their likely dual use in case of a conflict.
