The Sobeaksan Gneiss Complex in the Punggi area is composed of mainly mignatitic gneiss, porphyroblastic gneiss, garnet granitic gneiss and biotitie granitic gneiss. Metamorphic grade increase gradually from the amphibolite facies of northwestern part to the granulite facies of southwestern part in the study area. Representative mineral assemblage in the amphibolite facies is biotite-muscovite-K-feldspar-plagioclase$\pm$garnet$\pm$epidote, needle shape or fibrous sillimanite occur in transitional zone from the amphibolite facies to the granulite facies. In the granulite facies, the garnet-Opx granulite shows garnet-orthopyroxene-biotite-plagioclase, the metabasite shows clinopyroxene-plagioclase$\pm$hornblende$\pm$orthopyroxene$\pm$garnet and the migmatitic gneiss shows garnet-biotite-sillimanite-cordierite$\pm$spinel as representative mineral assemblage. Retrograde metamorphism after the granulite facies metamorphism made corindum and andalusite in the migmatitic gneiss and the thin layer garnet between clinopyroxene and plagioclase in the metabasites. The peak P-T conditions of the migmatitic gneiss and the garnet-Opx granulite are $916^{\circ}C$/6.6 kb and $826^{\circ}C$/6.3 kb, respectively. The P-T condition of biotite and plagioclase inclusion, which indicates the progressive condition of the granulie facies, within garnet is $866^{\circ}C$/7.5 kb and that of rim composition of garnet and biotite is $726^{\circ}C$/4.6 kb, which infer the clockwise P-T path of the granulite facies metamorphism. The temperatures caculated by the rim composition of garnet and biotite in the migmatitic gneiss and garnet granitic gneiss have a wide range of $556-741^{\circ}C$, which indicate that the retrograde metamorphism after the granulite facies metamorphism has effected differently. It is difficult to determine the P-T condition of the biotite granitic gneiss because less occurrence and higher spessartine content of garnet. The P-T condition of the thin layered garnet between clinopytoxene and plagioclase in the metabasite is $635-707^{\circ}C$/4.1-5.3 kb. This texture indicates the isobaric cooling(IBC) condition of the retrogressive metamorphism. As a result, the metamorphic evolution of the Punggi area has undergone the isobaric cooling after the granulite facies metamorphism which has undergone the clockwise P-T path.
