"Kim Young Gap Gallery", located in Jeju Island, is a former elementary school that turned into a gallery. Photographer Kim Young Gap, who had been suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease, spent his life capturing the beauty of Jeju Island. He created the gallery during his last days so that he could ensure his works be shared for years to come.
The gallery shows the photographer’s artistic passion, and his photos reflect the sublime beauty of Jeju Island, captured day after day in all kinds of weather. It is said that Kim Young-gap lived a life of poverty, spending the little money he had on film and developing supplies. Visitors to the gallery will surely be impressed by the commitment and lifetime sacrifice Kim Young-gap made.
When you enter "Kim Young Gap Gallery", there is also an unmanned cafe, a perfect place for taking a break and relax with a cup of coffee.
