Sun Misul was founded in 1979 by Sun Gallery. It was published with the aim of spreading and expanding art culture in South Korea for 13 years until it closed in 1992. Major editorial members have included Yoo Hongjune, former head of the Cultural Heritage Administration, while Kim Chang-sil, president of Sun Gallery, participated as a cultural columnist. It focused on important issues in the art world by presenting major artists as cover figures and dealing with their works in detail. In its first year, Sun Misul introduced the Egyptian Civilization Exhibition held in the United States and introduced ancient Egyptian civilization to the readers, which was not well known in South Korea at that time. In May 1980, an exhibition was held at Sun Gallery to commemorate the 1st anniversary of its foundation.
