Ildong Pharmaceutical Group Opens Corporate History Exhibition Hall "Dongnyeokgwan"

84 Years of Legacy Since Its Founding in 1941
Sharing Founding Philosophy, Management Principles, and Future Vision

On October 21, Ildong Pharmaceutical Group announced that it had built the corporate history exhibition hall "Dongnyeokgwan," which embraces 84 years of achievements and future vision, and held an opening ceremony.

The name "Dongnyeokgwan" was inspired by the east, which is both the direction where the brilliant sun rises and a symbol of hope, as well as the meaning behind Ildong Pharmaceutical Group's name, "Ildong" (日東, the rising sun in the east).

The company stated that the purpose of the exhibition hall was to collect and reimagine various historical materials that embody Ildong Group's proud history and identity, transforming them into content and providing a place where not only employees but also external customers can share and connect with these stories.

They explained that the space was designed to reaffirm Ildong Pharmaceutical's corporate philosophy and management principles, which originated from the late Chairman Yoon Yonggu's founding belief that "the essence of pharmaceuticals is people." It also offers a glimpse into Ildong Group's commitment and future blueprint for becoming a company known for good medicine and excellence.

The history hall is located on the first floor of Ildong Pharmaceutical Group's headquarters in Seocho-gu, Seoul, covering approximately 200 square meters. The interior is divided into six sections: History Arc, Words of Leaders, Dialogue of Light, Manifesto, Quiet Dialogue, and Relics Treasury.

The historical milestones of the company are arranged to follow the passage of time from dawn to sunrise. The visitor route is designed in an arc shape, inspired by the round sun, allowing visitors to experience the stories of Ildong Group's people by era and theme.

In the "History Arc" section of Dongnyeokgwan, visitors can look back on significant moments in Ildong Pharmaceutical Group's history, which emerged and developed alongside the flow of modern Korean history, through digital videos and materials. The "Words of Leaders" section features messages from the founder, Chairman Yoon Yonggu of Songpa, as well as other leaders who have guided Ildong Pharmaceutical.

"Dialogue of Light" is a space equipped with a media room and archive, where visitors can view Ildong Pharmaceutical Group's promotional videos, past advertisements, and various audiovisual content. It also features kiosks introducing each affiliate, major businesses, R&D (research and development), and the current status of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) management.

There are also sections for visitors, such as "Quiet Dialogue," a space of contemplation and welcome that captures the tranquility of dawn before sunrise. Here, visitors can leave messages in a digital guestbook, which are then displayed as media art. The "Relics Treasury" exhibits old artifacts related to medicine.

In his congratulatory speech, Ildong Pharmaceutical CEO Yoon Woongseop said, "I hope Dongnyeokgwan, which contains our past, present, and future, will instill pride and a sense of mission in our employees, and offer customers empathy, trust, and a sense of Ildong's authenticity. Like the rising sun and the name Ildong, we hope to continue shining as a company that brings light to humanity and life."
