On the afternoon of the 4th, K Auction also held its first Mecenat Concert of the year at its headquarters. The Mecenat Concert is a stage set up as part of the project jointly conducted by K Auction, Make-A-Wish, and Naver Happy Bean to fulfill the wishes of patients with incurable diseases.

The premium online auction features works by Kim Whanki, Park Seo-bo, Jung Sang-hwa, and Kwak In-sik, as well as pieces by major domestic abstract and figurative artists such as Do Sang-bong, Kim Chang-yeol, Kim Jong-hak, and Oh Chi-kyun.

Decorative works by overseas artists such as Davis Gostein, Yoshitomo Nara, Jim Dine, KAWS, and Ralph Fleck are also evenly auctioned.
