About

Uiyeolsa Shrine enshrines the portraits of patriotic martyrs whose graves lie within Hyochang Park. Seven portraits are kept here: Kim Gu, President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea; key Provisional Government figures Yi Dong-nyeong (first Speaker of the Provisional Legislative Assembly), Jo Seong-hwan (Minister of Military Affairs) and Cha I-seok (Chief Secretary); and the Three Martyrs, Yi Bong-chang, Yun Bong-gil and Baek Jeong-gi. A joint memorial ceremony was held on April 13, 1979, the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Provisional Government, and a ceremony has been held every year since on the anniversary of its founding.
