Yang Chung Middle School is one of the oldest secondary schools of South Korea. Founded in 1905, it has over 50,000 former students and graduates working in Korean society and around the globe. Throughout its history, the school has moved three times and is currently situated in Mok-Dong, Yang Cheon District, Seoul.
History[]
Yang Chung Middle School originates from an educational institution called yangchunguisuk in 1905, sponsored by Queen Eom,in Jongno.[1] The school was temporarily disbanded at the start of the Japanese occupation of Korea, but was reopened after 9 years. During this period the school produced many fighters against the Japanese, as well as national heroes, including the marathon runner Sohn Kee-Chung.
After the Japanese withdrew from the Korean Peninsula and with the onset of the Cold War, the school continued to operate until the outbreak of the Korean Civil War, at the start of which Seoul - where the school was and still is situated - was overrun by communist forces. The school set up temporary facilities in the South of the country, but relocated to Seoul once the war ended.
