‘Everybody Happy, Pop Artist Jo Young-nam Exhibition’ Pamphlet.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Singer, writer, or painter? The person whose profession is most confusing in Korea is coming to Busan.

From the 27th to April 5th, Dongmyung University will hold the exhibition "Everybody Happy, Pop Artist Jo Young-nam Exhibition," which elevates Hwatu (Korean playing cards) into art.

The exhibition will display a total of about 70 pieces, including cherished works that have never been exhibited before.

This Jo Young-nam exhibition is his first solo exhibition after being acquitted in a court battle over a large-scale painting controversy that lasted five years.

The exhibition opening event will be held on the 27th at 3 p.m. at the "Dongmyung Gallery" inside Dongmyung University. At 4 p.m., a commemorative opening performance will take place at the professional performance hall, Room 106, Management Building.

During the performance, Mr. Jo Young-nam will play the piano himself, sing his hit songs, and talk about his paintings.

The congratulatory delegation includes Professor Lee Hwa-sook from Myongji University, soprano Lim Young-in, tenor Lim Cheol-ho, soprano Grace Jo, a visiting professor at Dongmyung University's Doing College, and singer Kim Im-kyung from Golden Bell, who will take the stage.

President Jeon Ho-hwan has been making the university a cultural space by hosting a two-person calligraphy exhibition titled "Together: Walking Together Korea-Japan, Asking the Way through Calligraphy" with Maruyama, the Japanese Consul General, at Dongmyung Gallery in November last year, and an invitational exhibition of dyeing craft artist Kim Gyu-ri in December.

President Jeon also sang on stage himself when the Dongmyung Ensemble T.U., composed of Dongmyung University professors, and Nanugi World performed twice at Dongmyung Gallery.

The professional music performance hall, remodeled from a seminar room with a seating capacity of 100, is also used as a performance venue for students of Doing College.

The performance showcasing the creative work world of pop artist and all-around entertainer Jo Young-nam is the first event held in Dongmyung University's new performance hall.
