The main change in this renovation was the complete replacement of outdated analog exhibition programs with immersive displays utilizing advanced media art. This transformation was designed to elevate the memorial hall beyond a simple commemorative facility, establishing it as a key destination for national defense history education and patriotic experiences.

Of particular note is the introduction of new interactive content, including a special exhibition hall, an immersive content hall, a memorial hall, and a digital experience hall. These additions allow visitors to vividly experience the circumstances faced by student soldiers who participated in the Jangsasang Landing Operation during the Korean War.

The hall is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., except on Mondays when it is closed. To commemorate the reopening, a special discount event is being held. For more details, visitors can refer to the official website of the Jangsasangryuk Operation Victory Memorial Hall.
