Minister Yoo stated, "The National Korean Literature Museum is the national representative literature museum stipulated by the 'Literature Promotion Act.' To ensure its successful establishment, all parties involved must unite with a deep sense of responsibility in their respective positions. As this is a long-cherished project of the literary community and a key project of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, we will spare no interest and support."
