  • Heepung was adopted and was part of the 21st generation, but as he fled from Kaesong to Seoul during the Korean War, he had a lot of contact with his real brothers before he was adopted. Heepung boasted that the house he lived in in Kaesong before evacuation had 99 rooms. Heepung spent most of his time at home after evacuating, and spent a lot of time with his grandson, talking a lot about his hometown and Kaesong, which he could not go to, and teaching his grandson how to respect his ancestors. The following is the content of Heepung’s article. “I wish only good things for the Byeon family. If you act in harmony with the will of the world and the human mind, pay attention to everything around you, and do your best to achieve the will in your heart, there will be glory to the Byun family.”

  • Heepung always woke up early and started his day by cleaning the yard in front of his house. He always ate a light breakfast, exercised, and spent the morning reading newspapers or books. He was a very clean man, spent his afternoons outside, and was always in the habit of returning home before dinner. Heepung showed his grandson what to prepare for the ancestral rites and pointed out the ancestral rite procedures one by one. He pointed it out in detail, and his teaching method seemed like that of an experienced teacher. Also, Byun Heepung always enjoyed conversation during meal times. He talked to his family about how their day was, whether anything special happened, and what their plans were for tomorrow. The following describes Byun Heepung's grandson as he remembers him. He was very sturdy in photos from his youth, and although Heepung did not measure it himself, when he was about 70 years old, his height was around 175 cm or 5 ft 8 in and his weight was around 65 kg or 143 lb. I remember. His favorite foods were bibim noodles, soup made with ribs, and the traditional foods of his hometown.
