Wangsan (旺山) Heo Wi (許蔿) [1855–1908] was born in Imeun-dong (임은동), Gumi City, Gyeongsangbuk-do, formerly Imeun-dong, Gumi-myeon, Seonsan-gun. He was a government official and a Righteous Army (의병) leader, active mainly in the Yangju (양주) area of Gyeonggi-do.
In Seoul, the road that starts at Sinseol-dong Rotary (신설동로터리) and ends at Sijosa Junction (시조사 삼거리), both in Dongdaemun-gu, is named Wangsan-ro (왕산로) after Heo Wi’s pen name, Wangsan (旺山).
The memorial hall opened on 28 September 2009, in the year marking the 101st anniversary of Heo Wi’s death for his country (순국). It was built to honor his deep concern for the nation and his patriotism, and to serve as a living classroom where younger generations learn to love their country.
