After a pilot operation, the hall is scheduled to open sequentially starting June 2026, marking the 10th anniversary of Honorary Chairman Pungnim Ham Tae-ho's passing, with an official opening planned for January 2028. It will be developed as a space for the citizens of Anyang and the general public.
