Busan Old Baekje Hospital was the first modern private general hospital in Busan, opened by Choi Yong-hae in 1927. At the time, it was a hospital of considerable scale and gained fame as one of Busan's three major hospitals along with Busan Municipal Hospital and the Railway Hospital. After closing, it was converted into a high-end Chinese restaurant called Bongnaegak in 1933, and later used as officers' quarters for the Akatsuki unit stationed in Busan. After liberation in 1945, it was used as the office of the Busan Security Command. In 1950, it was used as a temporary consulate and embassy, then purchased by an individual and used as a wedding hall in 1953. Currently, the 5th floor has been demolished, and cafes and general shops have moved in.
