History

Jangchung Gymnasium before remodeling

At first, the arena was an army gymnasium, built on 23 June 1955. It was later fully reconstructed and opened on 1 February 1963.

During the 1970s, the venue hosted the presidential elections and inaugurations of Park Chung Hee and Choi Kyu-hah. The venue hosted judo and taekwondo events at the 1988 Summer Olympics. After the 2012–2014 renovation, the capacity of the arena is 4,507.
