Built in 1925, this building served Mokpo’s young men as the base for anti-Japanese movement during the Japanese Occupation. This historical place was also the house for publication of magazine entitled “Joseon Youth.” Because the center was built by raising fund from a variety of social strata, each portion of the building focuses on practicality without particular design elements. The center was established and managed by Koreans, and is now the living proof of national movement performed by the youth of Mokpo during the Japanese Occupation, having played the central role in the youth movement.
