Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Hong Nan-pa House in Hongpa-dong is a Western-style brick building built by a German missionary in the 1930s, later purchased and lived in by composer Hong Nan-pa. This house, where you can feel the presence of Hong Nan-pa, preserves the original characteristics of 1930s Western-style houses. It is where his representative songs such as 'Bongseonhwa' (Balsam) and 'Gohyang-ui Bom' (Spring in My Hometown) were composed, and as the birthplace of his major works, it holds value as a modern cultural heritage. Hong Nan-pa is a figure included in the report on the truth of pro-Japanese anti-national acts under the 'Special Act on the Truth Investigation of Anti-National Acts under Japanese Colonial Rule'.
