Renovation of Jangchung Gymnasium

Renovation work is underway at the 51-year-old Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, which is set to reopen in January after being closed for two years. The nation’s first gymnasium, built in 1963 near Mt. Nam, will be reborn as a sports and cultural complex with 4,500 seats. It will receive applications until the end of the month from those wishing to hold events there next year. / Yonhap
