  The Center for Underground Physics of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS)
in Korea has been planning the construction of a deep underground laboratory
since 2013 to search for extremely rare interactions such as dark matter and
neutrinos. In September 2022, a new underground laboratory, Yemilab, was
finally completed in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province, with a depth of 1,000 m and
an exclusive experimental area spanning 3,000 m$^3$. The tunnel is encased in
limestone and accommodates 17 independent experimental spaces. Over two years,
from 2023 to 2024, the Yangyang Underground Laboratory facilities will be
relocated to Yemilab. Preparations are underway for the AMoRE-II, a
neutrinoless double beta decay experiment, scheduled to begin in Q2 2024 at
Yemilab. Additionally, Yemilab includes a cylindrical pit with a volume of
approximately 6,300 m$^3$, designed as a multipurpose laboratory for
next-generation experiments involving neutrinos, dark matter, and related
research. This article provides a focused overview of the construction and
structure of Yemilab.
