Waegwan is the proper Korean name for Yongsan, which has sizable heliports. That's in downtown Seoul, and sits on prime real estate the South would dearly love to have back. It's the kind of property that makes real estate developers drool. 8th Army HQ is also in Yongsan, which makes it make sense that the band is also there.
