Sojin was about the lowest quality of the three Korean pianos (below 
Samick & Young Chang).

Korean pianos in general are not the greatest quality instruments to 
start with.

I believe Sojin is no longer making pianos either.

Of course if the price of the piano is very attractive that may sway 
your decision, but go into it with both eyes open. You may be better 
off stretching a little price wise for something better in the long 
run. A Yamaha grand would be a better investment in the long run.

To get some feel on the opinions about Sojin Pianos, go to:

type in Sojin pianos

This will search the archives of the newsgroups (primarily 
re.music.makers.piano)

Here's one example:

The box said "Requires Windows 95, or better." So I bought a Macintosh.
