The 29-year-old actor also explained another contemporary artist Lee Joong-sup’s major work “Kids, Fish and Crab” and “The Married Couple” and few others in great detail.

The area is displaying modern and contemporary art works of the most well-known Korean artists such as Whan-ki Kim, Chang Uc-chin and Moon Kyung-won.

Visitors can enter the exhibition for free until Sunday to go through the modern-contemporary paintings and installation art.

Ok Taec-yeon from the boy band 2PM will be the guide Thursday and Friday to give a special tour around the Culture-ICT Pavilion. Im is scheduled to come back for another session on Saturday.
