The owner of the bar "Saebyeokgang," Kang Eun-ja, will hold an exhibition titled "Collection Exhibition: Saebyeokgang is Where Eun-ja Lives" from the 6th to the 14th at the "Moi Jang" complex cultural space in the southern market of Jeonju.

The exhibition will feature around 250 works by local artists that Kang Eun-ja has collected over 30 years, starting with a painting by Park Jin-hee, a college entrance exam repeater, in 1993.

Kang Eun-ja, who frequented Saebyeokgang, wanted to help younger artist colleagues who visited the bar, so he started making gimbap instead of paying them during exhibitions and occasionally giving away paintings.

Saebyeokgang has a long history, starting with Eun-ja's love for performances and exhibitions in his 20s, his involvement in the music scene in his 30s, and eventually opening the bar Saebyeokgang in 1993. The bar has since become a cultural hub for various artists and art enthusiasts.

The article also details the various locations and transitions of Saebyeokgang over the years, highlighting Kang Eun-ja's dedication to the bar and the artistic community. The story culminates in the upcoming "Eun-ja Exhibition," which will mark the closure of Saebyeokgang on December 6, 2025, after decades of serving as a haven for artists and art lovers.
