After retiring from banking, I discovered the arts of calligraphy and seal carving, which gradually transformed my life. My work has been recognized with prestigious awards at the Seoul Women's Craft Exhibition and the KT Corporate Competition.
For the past 18 years, I've been teaching calligraphy at a women's professional education institute supported by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Since January 2018, I've had the privilege of introducing Hangul and Korean traditional culture to over 3,000 international visitors at my studio in Insadong. I also conduct traditional culture workshops for international corporations.
I published "The Strength of Calligraphy" in 2018 and "Hello World!" in 2024. This book is a collection of memories and experiences from seven years of becoming with wonderful guests from a stranger to a closer.

Hello, I'm Jeongju Welcome to my calligraphy workshop, where you'll discover more than just beautiful writing—you'll experience the meditative joy of traditional Korean brush calligraphy. This peaceful activity offers a chance to slow down, relax your mind, and immerse yourself in Korean culture. I'll guide you through the process, introducing you to traditional calligraphy materials and teaching you mindful brush techniques. You'll start with practice sessions focusing on basic strokes and Hangul characters. Then, you'll practice your names in 2 versions in writing. Next you can practice your own personalized scroll with a meaningful message. At last you are going to create your your own personalized scroll in Hangul. To add an authentic touch, you can choose to embellish your work with a traditional stamp that I'll provide. When you return home, your handcrafted Hangul calligraphy scroll will serve as a unique reminder of your Seoul experience. This scroll is perfect for traveling If you're interested in exploring more of Korean traditional culture, I welcome you to visit my studio in Insa-dong. If your preferred dates aren't available, please don't hesitate to contact me.

This class was so fun! It was very interesting to learn about the history of Hangul, and the teacher was very kind. You get to practice writing characters, your name, and a phrase of your choice. Easy to follow along in English! I highly recommend.

Fantastic class experience! Our teacher was very kind, helpful, and knowledgable! While I spoke Korean, my mom and sister did not and she was able to help teach them the alphabet along with the history and art of calligraphy in English! Instructions and teaching were easy to follow and all of our questions were answered! We had a wonderful time practicing and then making our final product! Everyone was extremely satisfied with our final pieces and had a lovely time chatting and drinking tea with our teacher. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Seoul!

Very nice experience! Jeongju is a patience teacher that will start with some theory and the basics of the Hangul letters. Then you can practice with the letters, your name and a message. You end up with a creation of your own (scroll with message) as a remembrance.
