Drugmaker Yuhan's historic headquarters wins Korea's top architectural honor

Willow House, the historical former headquarters of Korean pharmaceutical pioneer Yuhan Corp., has won the Presidential Award — the grand prize at this year’s Korea Space Culture Awards, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced Thursday. Originally constructed in 1962 in Daebang-dong, southern Seoul, the red-brick facility served as Yuhan’s headquarters for 35 years. Ahead of the company’s upcoming centennial, the historic structure was meticulously renovated and reopened to the public as a multipurpose cultural venue where corporate history seamlessly intersects with the daily lives of neighborhood residents. Its name honors the company’s signature emblem, the willow tree — a symbol of deep roots and resilience gifted to founder Dr. Yoo Il-han decades ago. “The overwhelming presence of the site, the history embodied in its red bricks and the sincerity of a public space aimed at citizens moved us deeply,” a member of the judging panel noted, praising the project for establishing “a new standard for public spaces created by private companies.” Established

Dubbed “Korea in Motion,” the initiative brings together the Korea Tourism Organization, the Ministry of Culture and the Korea Performing Arts Tourism Association in a coordinated push to elevate live performances from a casual evening out to a cornerstone of the Korean travel experience. During the campaign period, the agency will run special promotions with online travel agencies targeting major inbound markets, including China, Japan, Taiwan, the United States, Hong Kong and Singapore. The lineup includes nonverbal performances, which tell stories through movement, sound and music without dialogue, as well as shows with dialogue that foreign audiences can follow using artificial intelligence-powered smart glasses that display subtitles. For the first time, the agency has also partnered with production companies to offer experience programs. After “Painters,” a show in w
