Kim Jeong-hui Exile Site in Seogwipo

This is the place where Chusa Kim Jeong-hui (1786–1856) lived in exile for nine years, from October 1, 1840 (6th year of King Heonjong of Joseon) to December 6, 1848 (14th year of King Heonjong). It burned down during the Jeju April 3 Incident in 1948, leaving only an empty site, and was rebuilt in 1984 based on the historical research of his great-great-grandson Gang Do-sun. The stay of Chusa Kim Jeong-hui, a master of Northern Learning and an outstanding pioneer of his time in scholarship and arts, served as a catalyst for a major innovation in Jeju's humanities. He was proficient in epigraphy and calligraphy and painting, and the Chusa style, which pioneered a new realm of calligraphy, is widely known. In particular, the 'Sehando' (National Treasure) painted here is known as a work that fully demonstrates his artistic mastery.
