'The "Dongnip Sinmun Shanghai Edition" to Become a Historic Site'
'Daegu Dongin Elementary School Auditorium' Also Announced for Historic Site Designation
The 'Dongnip Sinmun (Independence Newspaper) Shanghai Edition,' which demonstrates the role and significance of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, will be designated as a historic site. On the 15th, the Cultural Heritage Administration announced the advance notice of designation of the 'Dongnip Sinmun Shanghai Edition' and the 'Daegu Dongin Elementary School Auditorium' as historic sites. Opinions from various sectors will be collected for one month, and the designation will be finalized after review by the Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee.
The 'Dongnip Sinmun Shanghai Edition' held at the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History is the official publication of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, published in mixed Korean and Chinese characters from August 1919 to November 1926. It contains information on international affairs, activities of the Provisional Government, and trends in the independence movement both domestically and abroad. The designation as a historic site includes 170 issues out of 198, including the first and last issues. It also includes five previously unconfirmed issues (Nos. 177?180 and No. 195). An official stated, "Together with the existing 'Dongnip Sinmun Shanghai Edition' consisting of 177 issues (National Registered Cultural Heritage No. 510), it holds high academic research, exhibition, and educational value."

The 'Daegu Dongin Elementary School Auditorium' is estimated to have been built between 1935 and 1937. A mansard roof was used to secure the ceiling height (the height between floors). The roof has a two-stage slope with different inclinations on the upper and lower parts of the hipped roof. The slope is gentle at the top but steep at the bottom. An official said, "As an old school facility in the old downtown area of Daegu, it well represents the structure and changes of urban space during the modern period," adding, "It holds significant meaning not only for urban history but also for educational history and regional history."
