Munhwa Gonggam Sujeong (Former Jeongrangak)

Why it matters now

Dong-gu and Visit Busan list Tue–Sun 10:00–17:00, closed Monday and KRW 1,000 admission. A July 2026 first-hand blog instead lists Tue–Sat, closed Sun/Mon, last entry 16:30 and a kiosk selling admission/drink options. Confirm Sunday entry, ticket terms and last admission with the venue at 051-441-0740. Older free-cafe information should not be used as current advice.

Why go

From Busanjin Station (Line 1), Exit 1, allow around seven minutes on foot according to Visit Busan; the last stretch is a residential lane with an incline. Address: 75 Honggok-ro, Dong-gu. A July 2026 visitor described a 30–60 minute visit; the house is also associated with IU's 'Through the Night' music video.
