Korean name이중섭전망대
Machine-translated from Korean. Show original
The Jungsup Observatory is located in what is believed to be the area where the painter Jungsup Kim depicted the scenery of Beomil-dong. It offers a panoramic view of Busan Port and the Beomil-dong area. The observatory features exhibits of Jungsup Kim's artwork and letters he wrote to his family. In addition to the stunning night views of Busan, the observatory also operates a cafe where visitors can enjoy various experiences, such as calligraphy, acrylic painting, and miniature oil painting, while sipping their drinks. Nearby, the Jungsup Street Art Museum and the "Hope 100 Steps" area feature a street lined with paintings and letters related to Jungsup Kim. After fleeing to Busan due to the Korean War in 1950, Jungsup Kim moved to Jeju Island the following year and lived in Beomil-dong, Busan, in December 1951. He held his only solo exhibition at the Mido Pa Gallery in 1955. He is one of the most famous painters in modern Korean history, known for his Fauvist-style vibrant colors and unique works that emphasize line drawing.
