Birthplace of Martyr Yun Sang-won

This space is dedicated to honoring Yoon Sang-won, a martyr who served as a spokesperson for the citizen militia during the May 18th Democracy Movement. Yoon Sang-won was a teacher who founded "Deulbul Yuhak," a school that provided education to underprivileged young people and workers. He was a prominent democracy martyr who remained at the provincial office until the very end, fighting against the martial law forces, and tragically died at the young age of 30.
The birthplace interior is currently used as an archive exhibition hall, and it has been arranged so that visitors can reflect on the noble lives and spirits of not only the martyr Yun Sang-won but also the martyr Park Gi-sun, with whom he held a spirit marriage. Having met and built their bond at Deulbul Night School in the late 1970s, they ended their lives at a young age due to the democratic uprising and an untimely accident. Family and relatives who grieved their deaths held a spirit marriage, and it is said that this song, which became a symbol of the May 18 Democratic Uprising, was dedicated at that time. Not only the song but also martyr Yun Sang-won's words, "Today we will be defeated. But tomorrow's history will make us victors," remain a deeply resonant interview that still symbolizes the democratization movement.
