[Daegu] House of Seo Sang-don (서상돈 고택)

💡 Overview

The house of entrepreneur and activist Seo Sang-don is located in the heart of Daegu. In 1907, in an effort to repay national debt and to gain independence from Japan, Seo launched the National Debt Repayment Movement as well as a nationwide campaign calling for people to quit smoking.

In celebration of Seo’s leadership, the City of Daegu restored Seo’s old house and opened it to the public. The City also built the National Debt Repayment Park and erected a statue of Seo in his honor.
