'Isunsin-daero' Road Name Assigned ... New Road within Busanhang Bukhang Redevelopment Project Site

Two Major Roads in Jung and Dong Districts, Total Length 2.5 km

Commemorating Admiral Yi Sun-sin's Victory in the Battle of Busanpo

Busan City assigned and officially announced road names on the 17th for a newly constructed road (total length 2.5 km) spanning Jung-gu and Dong-gu within the Busan Port North Port redevelopment area, following the review by the Busan City Address Information Committee.

With the completion of road facilities in the first phase of the Busan Port North Port redevelopment project, the city designated the road name as ‘Isunsin-daero’.

Yi Sun-sin Boulevard.

During the Imjin War, Busanpo was located around the current Busan Port North Port area. To commemorate the historic victory of the Battle of Busanpo led by Admiral Yi Sun-sin, the city established October 5th, the day of victory, as Busan Citizens’ Day (confirmed and promulgated on September 10, 1980) and commemorates it annually.

Accordingly, the city named the road crossing North Port from north to south ‘Isunsin-daero,’ and the road branching westward about 1.07 km from the starting point of Isunsin-daero was named ‘Isunsin-daero 107beon-gil’.

This road naming was carried out following a request from Busan Port Authority, including preliminary road name investigations, two rounds of public announcements to gather residents’ opinions, and review by the Busan City Address Information Committee.

After the official announcement of the road naming decision, the city plans to provide the information through the address information website for use by fire services, police, internet portals, and others.

A city official stated, “The newly assigned road name ‘Isunsin-daero’ will not only facilitate location finding through the use of road name addresses but also serve as an opportunity to inform citizens visiting waterfront spaces such as the North Port Cultural Park about the historical significance of North Port and the meaning behind the establishment of Busan Citizens’ Day.”

The wharf road west of ‘Isunsin-daero,’ named ‘Chungjang-daero,’ was named in 2009 after the posthumous title of General Jeong Bal, who died fighting to the death in the first battle of the Imjin War at Busanjinseong Fortress.
