[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Chong Kun Dang Holdings announced on the 20th that it has selected three artists, Kim Sun-young, Yoo Seung-ho, and Choi Soo-ryun, as the 'Chong Kun Dang Art Award 2020' artists.

The Chong Kun Dang Art Award is a program that supports creative activities and exhibition opportunities for emerging artists with growth potential. It selects painters under the age of 45 through a confidential review by art experts.

This year’s selected artists were highly evaluated for showing various developmental directions of domestic painting through their unique expressions and experimental attempts.

Each selected artist receives an annual support of 10 million KRW for three years. In the final year of support, they are given the opportunity to hold the 'Chong Kun Dang Art Award Special Exhibition.'

This year, the 7th Chong Kun Dang Art Award Special Exhibition will be held at the Sejong Center Art Museum from September 24 to October 6. The exhibition will feature works by artists Kim Chang-young, Seo Min-jung, and Seo Won-mi, who were selected in 2018.

Hwang Sang-yeon, CEO of Chong Kun Dang Holdings, said, "I am honored to be able to help the growth of artists who will lead the domestic art world," adding, "We will continue to seek and implement various ways to contribute to the development of domestic culture and arts."
