This is the birthplace of Jeong Jiyong, the representative poet of modern Korean poetry known for his poem 'Hyangsu,' located right next to the Jeong Jiyong Literature Museum. Jeong Jiyong was born here on November 20, 1902, and spent his childhood in this house. Although the house was demolished in 1974, it was restored to its original form in July 1996. Jeong Jiyong was a poet who wrote pure poetry while lamenting the pain of the Korean people during the Japanese colonial period. This site is an important space to understand the life and literature of Jeong Jiyong. The house is a single-story traditional hanok with a thatched roof, consisting of three bays in the front and three bays on the side. The inner quarters include a kitchen and two rooms, while the sarangchae consists of two rooms and a wooden floor. Around the birthplace, there is a statue and a commemorative stone of Jeong Jiyong, as well as a small stream flowing nearby. The Jeong Jiyong Literature Museum exhibits the poet's belongings such as his vest, brush, ink, and books, along with materials related to his life, works, and connection to Okcheon. A literary commentator is present for detailed explanations. Nearby are Janggyegwan Tourist Site, Okcheon Hyangsu 100-ri Bicycle Path, and the Yook Youngsoo Birthplace not far away.
