I visited the Hangeul Art Institute, run by master calligrapher Cheongnong Moon Gwan-hyo, a respected senior from my hometown who is celebrated worldwide as the first artist to fully hand-brush the entire text of the Hunminjeongeum Haeryebon in Hangeul calligraphy.

Master Cheongnong infuses King Sejong’s grand and beautiful vision into his Hangeul calligraphy works, actively promoting the profound value and preciousness of the Korean alphabet. Renowned for distilling the unique structural beauty of Hangeul through a creative aesthetic and elevating it into modern artwork, his creative world carries an deeply inspiring dream and value.

As the director of the Hangeul Art Institute, Cheongnong Moon Gwan-hyo is widely recognized for transforming Hangeul's sculptural form into contemporary art with unique creative sensibilities. During my visit, I was delighted to see Saori from the variety show Goal Hitters (Goal Jong Nyeo) taking lessons from Master Cheongnong, and I was able to capture a commemorative photo after class to mark this wonderful visit.
