Chusa Kim Jeong-hui's Exile Site

Chusa Kim Jeong-hui was a late Joseon Dynasty official, painter, and calligrapher who created the unique calligraphy style known as "Chusa Style." He was exiled to Jeju Island under a type of confinement that restricted him from leaving his residence. The area around his house was surrounded by thorny trifoliate orange trees. Despite being confined indoors daily, he used this time to delve deeply into academic studies 🖌️, develop the Chusa Style, and 📖 teach his disciples. One of his most famous works, "Sehando" (Painting of Winter Scene), is designated as a National Treasure and is believed to have been created during his exile. Although the original house was destroyed during the Jeju 4.3 Incident, it has been reconstructed based on historical evidence. However, entry into the house is 🚫 prohibited. This site serves as a reminder of how one can turn adversity into an opportunity for personal and communal growth, embodying a positive attitude even in challenging circumstances. 📇 Address - 44 Chusa-ro, Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province ✅ Admission - Free 🅿️ Parking - Dedicated parking lot located a 1-minute walk away
