Jeon In-ji will hold an art exhibition titled "Parrot Meets Dumbo: When Curiosity Becomes Art" at Bon Gallery in Gwanhun-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, from the 17th to the 7th of next month. On the 13th, Bon Gallery announced on its website, "Jeon In-ji is debuting as a painter by holding an exhibition together with her mentor, artist Park Sun-mi, who is famous as a painter of books and parrots." Jeon, who met Park last year and learned painting, will showcase various themes she has been thinking about through collaborative works.

"Many golf players take up hobbies to find balance in life," Jeon said, explaining, "Hobbies help relieve stress and improve performance. For me, that is painting." Jeon added, "While painting, I expressed my emotions and came to look deeper into myself," and said, "My painting mentor Park Sun-mi gave me the confidence that I can win again."

Jeon In-ji is a player who has won four titles on the U.S. Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour, including three major championships. In June, she claimed the top spot at the major KPMG Women's PGA Championship, marking her first victory in 3 years and 8 months since winning the KEB Hana Bank Championship in October 2018. If she adds a win at the AIG Women's Open and the Chevron Championship, she will achieve the "Career Grand Slam," having won all four major tournaments.
