Fundado en 1998 por la mecenas cultural Heeja K Chung como una extensión de Daewoo Foundation, Art Sonje Center es una de las principales instituciones de Seúl dedicadas al arte contemporáneo sin colección propia. Su edificio de mármol en Samcheong-dong alberga salas de exposición, un auditorio, el cine CineCode Sonje, un restaurante y una tienda de arte. El centro se centra en propuestas experimentales que amplían los límites del arte visual, la arquitectura, el diseño y el cine, y las complementa con charlas, proyecciones y programas educativos.
