Calligraphy Master Jin Seong-yeong's 'Writing Names of Hope' Project Draws Attention

Master calligrapher of Korea, Seoksan Jin Seong-yeong, is showing the name of Kim Jeong-ok, who participated in the Ten Thousand Won Happiness Hope Name Writing Project.

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The "Happiness for 10,000 Won: Writing Hopeful Names" project, led by South Korea's calligraphy master Seoksan Jin Seong-yeong, is attracting attention.

Master Jin started this project to mark the 13th anniversary of his career as an artist, aiming to heal the body and mind worn down by COVID-19 and to instill self-esteem through one's name.

The "Writing Hopeful Names" project will continue until the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

If you send the desired name to Master Jin, he will personally write it by hand, digitize it, and send it back to you.

Master Jin said, "If you can buy 'happiness' for just 10,000 won, nothing could be happier than that," adding, "These days are even harder than the IMF financial crisis, so I looked for a way to boost self-esteem and thought that using one's own 'name' would be a good method, which led to starting this project."

Meanwhile, in November last year, Master Jin Seong-yeong published the motto project book "Awaken the Giant Within You," featuring 100 South Korean nationals and overseas Koreans. In this book, the stories of 100 people living diverse lives and their personally experienced mottos were written in calligraphy and prose, touching many readers deeply.
