A traditional house on Korea’s south coast where the handwritten manuscripts of a renowned Korean poet have been kept has been registered as a cultural property.

The Cultural Heritage Administration said Thursday that the house in Gwangyang, South Jeolla Province, has been named the nation’s 341st registered cultural property.

Owned by a late literary scholar Chung Byung-wook, the house has kept the original manuscripts of the poet Yoon Dong-ju, including “Sky, Wind and Stars,” one of the all-time favorites of Korean readers.

Chung, a close friend of the colonial-era poet, kept the manuscripts at his Gwangyang home before being forced to serve the Japanese Imperial Army in the early 20th century.

After Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule, Chung published a posthumous collection of Yoon’s poems under the title "Sky, Wind and Stars."
