Chusa's Daejeong years behind Sehando and his calligraphy

Chusa Kim Jeong-hui continued calligraphy and scholarship during his Jeju exile. The site invites you to understand Sehando and his calligraphic style through exile life and human relationships, beyond famous artwork names alone.

The thatched house is described as reconstructed after being destroyed during the April 3 events. Distinguishing a reconstruction of the former living space from surviving historical materials helps you understand the site accurately.

Exploring the reconstructed house and Chusa Hall exhibitions

Observe house layouts and living spaces outdoors before continuing to indoor exhibits. The exhibition building's design based on Sehando also connects the painting with the place.

Exhibitions include reproductions. Plan to read the current materials and explanations rather than expecting guaranteed access to originals. Check date-specific notices for outdoor and indoor hours and last admission.

Discussing brush calligraphy and exile life with children

With children, look for differences between the thatched living space and homes today. Indoors, choose calligraphic shapes or trees in paintings and briefly discuss why he continued making art in exile.

Events and calligraphy activities are not guaranteed daily. Check schedules, ages and reservations separately if participating. On viewing-only visits, follow access limits in reconstructed buildings and exhibit-protection guidance.

From Daejeong history to Sanbangsan scenery

The representative address is 대정읍 추사로 44. Combine the exile site and Chusa Hall in one visit while checking each area's access. When seeking other Daejeong heritage sites, distinguish similarly named cultural-event venues.

Sanbangsan and Yongmeori Coast offer southwestern mountain and coastal landforms after historical viewing. Yongmeori in particular has weather- and tide-dependent restrictions; on days when coastal entry is unavailable, prioritize the exile site.
