[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Calligraphy master Seoksan Jin Seong-yeong, who is active as an island artist on Saeseom Island, Jodo, Jindo, is once again creating a platform for communication with the public through the 13th upcoming publication of the family motto writing project, ‘Seoksanche’.

Considering that Jin’s calligraphy pieces are priced at several million won each in the market, making them difficult for the public to access easily, Jin is conducting the ‘Family Motto Writing Project’.

Those who wish to participate in the project write their family motto title and content and send it to Jin, who writes it in ‘Seoksanche’ and compiles it into a book.

If you want to keep the family motto in handwritten form, you can receive it by paying a designated artwork fee.

Jin is carrying out the family motto writing project hoping that individuals exhausted by COVID-19 will have self-esteem in their own names, and so far, about 1,000 people have participated.

Jin said, “No matter how expensive and good a work may be, if it does not consider the public’s perspective, it only becomes distant and forgotten by the public,” adding, “I came to think that an artist who can see the world from the public’s viewpoint and feel it firsthand is truly loved by the general public as a genuine artist.”
