Former Mokpo Youth Center

Built in 1925, this building was a base for the anti-Japanese resistance movement among the youth of Mokpo during the Japanese colonial period, and the historic site where the magazine Joseon Cheongnyeon (Joseon Youth) was published. Because it was built with funds raised from people of every walk of life in a public fundraising campaign, each part of the building was treated purely functionally, without any particular design elements. It was the birthplace of the national movement carried out by the youth of Mokpo during the Japanese colonial period, and a building built and run through the self-reliance of the Korean people themselves, serving as the centre of the Mokpo youth movement.
