Taehyung of BTS earns fans’ praise for stunning artwork dedicated to him at World Art Expo Seoul 2023
BTS' Taehyung was praised by fans for the stunning artwork dedicated to him at the World Art Expo Seoul 2023. The World Art Expo was held in Coex 513, Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
Different artworks and paintings were on display for a duration of four days (February 9-12), with hundreds of visitors visiting the World Art Expo at the time.
However, V's painting caught the attention of ARMYs, and they took to Twitter to shower praise on the singer.
Previously, artist Shin Sang-cheol featured the Christmas Tree crooner in his exhibition “The Strata of Memory” at MOMA Damda in Yongin city on January 20, 2021. Taehyung was called a “World Music Icon” at this exhibition.
The singer was featured alongside globally renowned stars like Freddie Mercury and John Lennon. The aim of the exhibition was to portray the globalization of Hangul (the alphabetic script in which Korean is written).
Not only that, another artist named Lee Jong-bae, known by his pen name STAZ, a graffiti artist from Gunsan, recently made murals with BTS members' faces.
The talented artist confessed that V is his favorite member of the septet and confessed that he loves his gorgeous visuals and husky voice and, hence, he put in a little extra effort in designing his graffiti well.
