What's nearby
Artist Lee Jung-seop is known for his paintings, reminicent of Fauvism, of which “White Ox” is most famous. During the Korean War, he spent a year as a refugee in Seogwipo with his Japanese wife and two sons in a small leased house, where he produced many masterpieces.

Although the stay was temporary, it was one of the happiest times for Lee and certainly the most productive. Recognizing his importance, the city of Seogwipo purchased the house and turned it into the Lee Jung Seop Memorial Hall. The street in front of his house, which he walked day and night, was renamed Ijungseop-ro Street. Lee Jung Seop Gallery is just behind the restored house. The gallery houses over 8 masterpieces by Lee Jung-seop and 52 works by modern Korean painters, all of which were donated to Seogwipo city by Lee Ho-jae (CEO of Gana Art).
