They explained that a business agreement was signed with Miryang City in January 2019, the joint investment review by the Ministry of Education and Ministry of the Interior and Safety was passed in April 2021, architectural design was completed in October 2022, and administrative procedures such as cultural heritage surveys and excavations on the site were completed by last May.

Miryang City contributed to the establishment of the center by completing compensation for private land in January, supporting 10 billion KRW for construction costs, and improving the surrounding environment of the site.
