Why go

Lee Myung-bak Birthplace is a preserved historic site in Gyeongsangbuk-do dedicated to former South Korean president Lee Myung-bak (born 1941), who served as the 17th president of the Republic of Korea from 2008 to 2013. The site preserves the residential structure where Lee was born and grew up before his political career, alongside interpretive context covering his biography, his rise through Korean business (he served as CEO of Hyundai Engineering & Construction before entering politics), and his broader political career as Seoul mayor and later president. Best for travelers interested in modern Korean political history, paired with broader regional itineraries.
