Sine Lee

8 figures in Goyang indicate those eight great men that are commemorated in Munbongseowon in Gobong-dong

hey are Chugang Hyoon Nam, Sajae Junggook Kim, Bokjae Joon Ki, Chuman Jiwoon Chung, Haengchun Soon Min, Modang Leesang Hong, Suktan Sinu Lee, and Manhoi Yugyum Lee. They were loyal subjects that were much respected in Joseon Dynasty.

Due to their sacrifice, Goyang has become a city where people want to live at.

Suktan Sinui Lee (1551 – 1627): Civil servant in the middle of Joseon Dynasty serving Myunjong and Injo as a loyal subject.

During the Japanese invasion, he took a troop with 300 soldiers and fought against Japanese armies.

Afterwards, he supported military power to the siege of Hangju contributing to win the Japanese invasion war.

The memorial of military army of justice in Goyang, Suktan Sinui Lee, is a unique exhibition hall that is located at Daerael village in Heungdo-dong, Deokyang-gu, Goyang-si. Located between Daeraeul village and IKEA, this place is a space that is used for the park, historical relics, cultural remains, and education.

This exhibition hall is constructed and operated by the public without support of government or organizations. This hall is also comprised of shrine made of Korean traditional house, exhibition hall, and Yangsodang building. Exhibition hall of Suktan Sinui Lee was constructed in 2014 by descendants to memorize the achievement and life of Suktan Sinui Lee who was the military of justice, scholar, politician, and writer. He is one of the eight figures in Goyang and also a character that is chosen for national salvation activity in Gyeonggi-do as a person from Goyang. In addition, his tomb, Sindo tombstone, and Jangdae tombstone (將臺碑) are all designated as regional cultural asset in Goyang-si.

This is a rare case where descendants spent tens of hundred millions KRW to construct and operate the exhibition hall.
