About

The Isang Yun Memorial Hall, which honors the life and musical world of the world-renowned composer Isang Yun, is located in his hometown of Tongyeong. It was established to shed light on his turbulent life, as he was implicated in the East Berlin incident and died in Germany without being able to return to his home country, as well as to correct misunderstandings and honor his achievements as an artist. Here, you can find his personal belongings, such as the German government medal, the cello he used during his lifetime, and a small Taegeukgi he always carried with him.

In particular, 'Berlin Haus', which perfectly recreates the study and reception room of his home in Berlin, Germany, is a key space where you can get a glimpse of Isang Yun's life. In addition, a memorial site where his remains, relocated from Germany, are laid to rest is provided on the grounds of the Tongyeong Concert Hall, so you can honor his desire to miss the sea of his hometown.
