Cheongam (靑巖) Park Tae-jun, Honorary Chairman of POSCO, expressed his anguish and thoughts through brush strokes at critical moments of decision-making. After declaring an emergency with the goal of completing the third phase of Pohang in 1978, he motivated employees with the "Charge" calligraphy (휘호, 揮毫).


This exhibition focuses on introducing Cheongam's spirit and life conveyed through these calligraphies, along with framed calligraphy works and practice calligraphy pieces.


Additionally, on the 20th, the county will hold a special lecture titled "Cheongam's Calligraphy and Thoughts" by Professor Kang Kyung-gu (Emeritus Professor, Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Dong-Eui University) to reflect on the significance of this exhibition.


The exhibition is free to attend, and for more details related to the exhibition, inquiries can be made to the Gijang-gun Park Tae-jun Memorial Hall.



A Gijang-gun official stated, "We hope that visitors to this place will have an opportunity to feel the unwavering determination and conviction through the calligraphy left by Cheongam."
