Artist Kim Hyun Jung's 'Tremor,' which expresses the imaginative visions that come to her while listening to music as animals that don't exist in reality, meets the 2019 MBC Acting Awards.
MBC announced that it is collaborating with the 'hot' Oriental painter Kim Hyun Jung, who is leading the popularization of Korean painting through her witty world of work, for the 2019 MBC Acting Awards.
Known as the 'idol of Korean painting,' artist Kim Hyun Jung is regarded as a 'leading trend-setter in Korean painting' who has built a devoted fanbase through her witty, cathartic world of work that gives reality a slight twist, including the 'Naesoong series' and works on 'marriage.'
Artist Kim, whose 2013 solo exhibition 'Naesoong Story' drew some 67,000 visitors — reminiscent of an idol concert — set the record as the youngest artist invited to a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2016, and was named alongside figure skating star Kim Yuna as one of Forbes' most influential 30 people under 30 in Asia in 2017.
