Destination briefing

Why travelers stop here

Poet Yoon Dongju, while studying in the Department of Liberal Arts at Yonhi College, boarded at the house of novelist Kim Song (1909–1988) in Nusang-dong, Jongno-gu, together with his literary friend Jeong Byeong-uk. It is said that he often climbed Inwangsan Mountain to refine his poetic inspiration in nature. His representative works, including "The Night of Counting Stars," "Self-Portrait," and "Another Hometown," were created during this period.

The Yoon Dongju Literary House was established in 2012 to remember the footsteps of Yoon Dongju, a beloved national resistance poet, and his perspective toward the world. It is a meaningful remodeling of the abandoned Cheongun Water Booster Station and water tanks at the foot of Inwangsan Mountain. It won the Korea Public Architecture Award in 2012 and the Seoul Architecture Award in 2014, and was designated as a patriotic facility in 2015, drawing attention to both the value of the space and its significance.
