A Statue in a Subway Restroom? The Surprising Identity

Here is the next story.

'A statue in Doksan Station's restroom?'

A statue has actually appeared right in the middle of a subway washbasin at Doksan Station in Seoul.

As you can see, it looks quite convincing.

Seeing is believing, so let's take a look at the photo first.

This is the restroom at Doksan Station.

And this is the sink.

Right in the middle of it sits a fluorescent yellowish-green statue modeled after a human bust.

You might wonder why there is a decorative statue in a restroom.

Its true identity is none other than soap—soap.

This artwork is part of artist Shin Meekyoung's restroom project, which plans to document over the span of a year how the shape wears down and changes as citizens actually use the piece.

Netizens who saw the photos responded with comments like,

"Is that really a solid block of soap?" and "How interesting."

There were also concerns, with one person saying, "I'm worried someone might take it or damage it."

If it were me, I'd probably feel it's too precious to use.
