Jeongbangpokpo Falls, one of the three major waterfalls in Jeju-do, along with Cheonjiyeonpokpo Falls and Cheonjeyeonpokpo Falls, is located about 1.5 kilometers southeast of the center of Seogwipo.

The waterfall is the only coastal waterfall in Asia that falls directly into the sea, reaching 23 meters in x_height, 8 meters in x_width, and 5 meters in depth. When sunlight is reflected on the pouring water with the magnificent sound of a waterfall, a rainbow of seven colors harmonizes with the blue sea, creating a captivating atmosphere. On the high cliffs along the beach, old pine trees stand with branches hanging over the sea as if they were falling.

Artist Lee Jung-seop is known for his paintings, reminicent of Fauvism, of which “White Ox” is most famous. During the Korean War, he spent a year as a refugee in Seogwipo with his Japanese wife and two sons in a small leased house, where he produced many masterpieces.

Although the stay was temporary, it was one of the happiest times for Lee and certainly the most productive. Recognizing his importance, the city of Seogwipo purchased the house and turned it into the Lee Jung Seop Memorial Hall. The street in front of his house, which he walked day and night, was renamed Ijungseop-ro Street. Lee Jung Seop Gallery is just behind the restored house. The gallery houses over 8 masterpieces by Lee Jung-seop and 52 works by modern Korean painters, all of which were donated to Seogwipo city by Lee Ho-jae (CEO of Gana Art).
