BlueberryNFT "Artist Ju Jaebeom's 'Mona Virus' Sold for a Record 9.8 Ethereum"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Blueberry NFT announced on the 17th that the artwork Mona Virus by artist Joo Jae-beom was sold at the highest price of 9.8 Ethereum on StandbyB, the art NFT marketplace of its subsidiary Blueberry Auction.

On the 13th, the art NFT-exclusive marketplace 'StandbyB' opened, and after selling out the fixed-price works by pixel art master Joo Jae-beom, it held an auction for 'Mona Virus.'

The auctioned Mona Virus is a work created by a user named 'Monas' who exploited an NFT that unauthorizedly used Joo Jae-beom's 2012 work 'Pixel Monalisa.' Monas took Monas's works as background layers and visualized them using animation techniques. The piece expresses the rapid unauthorized use and reproduction of images in the NFT world as if a virus is infiltrating, and it was sold at the highest price of 9.8 Ethereum.

Starting with the sell-out of fixed-price works and the auction, Blueberry NFT plans to update more works by artist Joo Jae-beom and continuously showcase works by other artists.

A company official said, “Not only did the fixed-price works sell out last time, but the Mona Virus auction was also successfully conducted with much interest. We will update more works by artist Joo Jae-beom and present works by other artists as well, and we will do our best to become the top art NFT marketplace in Korea based on this foundation.”
