From G-DRAGON and BTS to Stray Kids and CORTIS... 'D'FESTA' K-Pop Art Exhibition Opens

A large-scale exhibition titled "D'FESTA THE ORIGIN," featuring 48 K-pop artists, will be held from the 23rd of this month to November 30 at the MPX Gallery on the L3 level of IFC Mall in Yeouido, Seoul.

Nine groups participated in this exhibition: G-DRAGON, BTS, Stray Kids, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, aespa, ENHYPEN, IVE, RIIZE, and CORTIS. The project took about four months to complete, utilizing roughly 30 large-scale production sets.

The starting point of the exhibition is "origin." It captures the dreams and passions of K-pop artists through various artistic mediums, including photography, video, fashion, and fine art. The exhibition features sections such as "The Ninefold," highlighting the distinct personalities of the nine teams; "Huge of Black," large-scale black-and-white portraits; and "Canon Number 48," a massive collective artwork completed by all 48 artists. In addition, visitors can explore "The Squeeze," showcasing paintings created by the artists themselves; "Letters," featuring handwritten notes and video messages for fans; and "The Encounter," an interactive program for visitors.

Organizers of "D'FESTA" shared their anticipation, stating, "We have put a lot of time and effort into presenting the most brilliant moments of K-pop in a new artistic format."

Following the exhibition in Seoul, "D'FESTA THE ORIGIN" is scheduled to tour major cities around the world, beginning in Tokyo next January. Detailed information regarding the exhibition schedule and ticket reservations can be found on NOL Ticket.
