“Listening heart” is what the name Jeeum means. This phrase encapsulates the spirit of the Eunhye Gallery.
The Eunhye Gallery, with its Seoul roots, has subtly entered the art scene. The gallery’s president and art director, Shin Eunhye, started her art collection journey almost a decade ago. Finding new artists was the inevitable next step.
Since 2016, Gallery Jeeum has been bringing Korean artists to international art fairs. These fairs spanned the globe. They reached Beijing, New York, Taipei, Singapore, Brussels, and Hong Kong.
Shin Eunhye believes Hong Kong respects cultural diversity. Discovery Bay is one of the best places to develop the common language of art.
Shin Eunhye’s close-knit network of artists, art lovers, and collectors provided the perfect setting for her Hong Kong venture.
