Area to Honor Hyangpa’s Work Hyangpa, key figure in the history of Korean literature, became a professor at Busan Fisheries University, present PKNU, in 1949 and had taught literature for about 40 years until 1987. Creation of Hyangpa Alley is a joint project of PKNU and Daeyeon3-dong Community Service Center in Nam-gu, Busan. When Daeyeon3-dong was selected for the national project on residents’ association and local community in April last year, the plan was first devised. In line with this, a sign was installed at the entrance of the Hyanpa Alley in September of the same year, then his most famous poem and milepost in November. Recently the district office of Nam-gu allocated KRW 20 million in the budget of community’s long-cherished project, making it possible to put the works at the Alley in frame. PKNU’s Professor Nam Song-woo in the Department of Korean Language and Literature made an effort to select works to be exhibited in the Alley, and Professor Hong Dong-sik in the Department of Visual Communications Design to design the frames. The district office is planning to display another thirty pieces of Hyangpa’s work after securing additional budget of KRW 20 million later this year. Right beside the Alley and inside the Daeyeon Campus stands Hyangpa Hall, where he used to deliver lectures, and Hyangpa Literary Monument at the forecourt of the hall to remember his influence on Korean children’s literature. <Pukyong Today> |
