Translation result.오세훈 [Herald Economy=Senior Reporter Park Jong-il] At 1 p.m. on the 25th, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon attended the opening ceremony of the 2026 Yi Sun-sin Festival at the birthplace of Admiral Yi Sun-sin (47 Marunnae-ro, Jung-gu), marking the 481st anniversary of the admiral’s birth.

The Yi Sun-sin Festival, organized by the Jung-gu District Office, is the district’s flagship participatory event commemorating the general’s birth. The festival features a parade, performances, and hands-on programs.

Mayor Oh said, “We will build an ‘Yi Sun-sin Memorial Hall’ in Namsangol Hanok Village so citizens can fully honor the admiral’s noble spirit, feel his presence in daily life, and take pride. Seoul City and Jung-gu will work together and continue our efforts until Jung-gu is nationally recognized as Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s birthplace.”
