The Sojeon Gallery is located beside the Jindo County Office, Seongnaeri, Jindoeup, Jindo County . Five hundred million won was invested in the construction of this gallery, and interior renovation began in April of 2003. When the gallery opened on May 31, 2003 in celebration of the 100 th anniversary of Master Sojeon’s birth, it was equipped with four display rooms with moisture-proof facilities, a video room and offices.

The gallery displays the works of master calligraphers including Mr. Son Jaehyeong, the finest master calligrapher since Chusa Kim Jeonghui, and others, becoming a new pride of the Namdo culture.

The Sojeon Gallery displays calligraphic masterpieces by Master Sojeon, including "Inscription Poem of Nonsan Lee Eunsang," which were provided by his family, and 30 paintings subsequently drawn by domestic masters. The first display room shows works that Master Sojun completed in his youth, and the second room shows paintings in the literary artist’s style. The third room shows works that Master Sojun completed in the prime of his life, and the fourth room shows works by his apprentices, including Yang Jini, Seo Huihwan and Park Haengbo, and works of other masters such as UIje Heo Baekryeon.
