Patriots ministry buys ex-YKA headquarters in U.S.

This photo, provided by the patriots and veterans affairs ministry, shows the former headquarters of the Young Korean Academy (YKA), or Heungsadan, in Los Angeles. Ahn Chang-ho, a Korean independence fighter, established the academy in San Francisco in May 1913 to nurture young Korean leaders against the 1910-45 Japanese rule of Korea. The YKA headquarters later moved to Los Angeles and is now located in Seoul. On Feb. 2, 2023, the ministry said it had signed a contract on Jan. 31 to purchase the former YKA building in Los Angeles, which was facing demolition under a real estate redevelopment plan, for preservation purposes.
