Carved into the side of a broken Silla stele is Kim Jeonghui's own note: he found it in 1817 in the weeds of a Gyeongju valley, and was sorry his late friend in Beijing wasn't there to share it.

The show tells Kim's life through the people around him, in 38 letters, calligraphies, paintings and rubbings: family, fellow epigraphers, Qing scholars, pupils and Buddhist monks. Six are shown for the first time. You start with the letters, where Joseon's greatest calligrapher complains that his wife doesn't write often enough. Two centuries before KakaoTalk's unread "1", the feeling was already there. The museum says his script kept changing from his 30s to his 70s: an 1819 letter still looks like his father's hand.

The headline orchid painting, Buliseonrando, came down on 13 September, replaced by a couplet Kim wrote for the Qing painter Zhu Henian. It's on the second floor of the free permanent galleries until 22 November, open until 9pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
