Busan Middle School Alumni Association Award Watch Fob/釜山中学校校友会賞章

After opening as a public middle school in Busan in 1913 during the Japanese colonial era, it was one body with Busan High School, which is right next to it, but was divided into separate schools in 1951 due to the school system change and the middle school and high school separation policy . Officially, Busan middle and high schools do not acknowledge that Busan Public Middle School, which opened in 1913, is the predecessor, and recognize the 6-year Busan Public Middle School, which opened in the same year after being closed by the US Military Government in 1945 after the defeat of Japan.​
