Concept

The Ballpoint Pen (Tu-Gu Helmet), reminiscent of Admiral Yi Sun-sin is inspired by the unique shape and attire of Korean helmets worn by generals during the Joseon Dynasty.

Features

This design reflects the commanding presence of a wartime leader, featuring a tall metal crest (ganju), a decorative red tassel (hongmo), and protective flaps (deurim) to shield the general's neck and ears. Uniformly placed metal studs symbolize the armor’s function in protecting the body.

This pen carries a symbolic message of courage - especially meaningful for those facing challenges, such as important exams or personal hurdles.

The helmet's head rotates, and the hat-like top is detachable. The miniature helmet was crafted through various processes and materials to capture the look and feel of traditional Korean military headgear.
