On May 13, Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo) held the opening ceremony for the 'Hyangpa Lee Joo-Hong special exhibition' in the gallery lounge on the first floor of the Core competency library.

 

In celebration of its 100th anniversary this year, Pukyong National University, in collaboration with the Lee Joo-Hong literary foundation (chairperson Ryu Cheong-Ro), is hosting an exhibition to preserve and share the maritime humanities spirit of Hyangpa Lee Joo-Hong, featuring over 80 items, including maritime humanities materials, lecture notes, and cover art, and running until the 30th. It is open to the public, including local residents.

 

Hyangpa Lee Joo-Hong is considered a leading writer of modern children's literature in Korea. In 1928, he published his first fairy tale, 'The dance of the young snake' in the magazine Shin-sonyeon, and in 1929, he made his literary debut with his first short story, 'Poverty and marriage' in the Chosun Ilbo.

 

He is evaluated as having made great achievements in the history of Korean literature through his prolific activities in all areas of literature, including not only poetry and novels, but also essays, plays, children's poems, fairy tales, and translations. He has received awards such as the Korean cultural merit, the Korean academy of arts awards, and the cultural award of Busan metropolitan city.

 

Notably, from 1949 until 1987, Lee Ju-Hong served as a professor at the National fisheries university of Busan, the predecessor of Pukyong National University where he dedicated nearly 40 years to educating future generations.

 

Meanwhile, on the 24th, Pukyong National University will host an academic seminar titled 'The cultural-historical significance in Hyangpa's diaries' and the 44th Lee Joo-Hong literary award ceremony in the video seminar room on the second floor of the Central library. <Pukyong Today>
