"연고없는 곳에 귀촌할 수 있었던 건 '이 사업' 덕분이었어요"ㅣ40대에 강진으로 귀촌한 예술작가

We recently met with Artist So Jin-young, who moved to Gangjin-gun, Jeonnam Gwangju-Integrated Special City, and is promoting the region through Hanji sculptural art. The artist is genuinely satisfied with her life in the countryside in Gangjin-gun while simultaneously engaging in various artistic activities. From the ‘Saetteul House,’ a housing support project for those moving to the countryside, to the site of ‘Bulgeumbulpa,’ a special event unique to Gangjin, and Artist So Jin-young’s vivid daily life in the countryside!
