LG Hausys Supports Facility Improvement of Yi Yuksa Literature Museum

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Soyeon] LG Hausys, ahead of the Day of the Patriots and Veterans, completed renovation work on the 'Yi Yuksa Literature Museum' in collaboration with the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, carrying out support activities for the maintenance of national memorial facilities.

On the 16th, LG Hausys held a 'Yi Yuksa Literature Museum Facility Improvement Completion Ceremony' at the 'Yi Yuksa Literature Museum' located in Dosan-myeon, Andong-si, Gyeongbuk, attended by Kwon Buok, Chairman of the Yi Yuksa Memorial Project Association, Son Byeonghee, Director of the Yi Yuksa Literature Museum, and others.

Yi Yuksa was an anti-Japanese nationalist poet and independence activist who sang of the nation's sorrow and the desire for the liberation of the homeland. He is well known as a resistance poet who wrote poems such as "Green Grapes," "The Wilderness," and "The Climax," but he was also a militant fighter, a member of the armed independence movement group Uiyeoldan, and a graduate of the Joseon Revolutionary Military Political Cadre School.

After being first imprisoned by the Japanese colonial government in 1927, Yi Yuksa spent most of his life in prison, being incarcerated a total of 17 times until his death in 1944. His real name was Lee Wonrok, and his pen name "Yi Yuksa (264)" was his prisoner number during his first imprisonment, symbolizing his spirit of resistance and poetic world.

The Yi Yuksa Literature Museum gathers records, photographs, and achievements of Yi Yuksa's life in one place. Since its opening in 2004, it has faced difficulties due to insufficient exhibition space and soundproofing issues inside the facility.

In response, LG Hausys supported the addition of exhibition facilities by providing artificial marble and interior films in the first-floor lobby of the museum, and carried out renovation work including replacing the flooring and installing sound-absorbing materials on the walls in the multipurpose hall on the second floor, enabling visitors to use the memorial hall in a more comfortable environment.

Meanwhile, since 2015, LG Hausys has supported renovation work for a total of 11 national memorial facilities and has improved the living environments of 28 national merit recipients, including descendants of independence patriots and veterans of the Korean War.
