CJ Logistics 'Taekbae Hwaga' Won Seong-jin to Hold 4th Solo Exhibition

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] CJ Logistics announced on the 23rd that delivery worker Won Seongjin will hold a solo exhibition titled "Just Because It’s Silent, Doesn’t Mean It Has Stopped" at the Attri愛 Gallery near Euljiro 4-ga Station until the 3rd of next month.

This solo exhibition is scheduled to be held for three weeks starting from the 15th, supported by the Seoul Facilities Management Corporation. It can be viewed free of charge in the underground passage between Euljiro 4-ga Station and Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station on Line 2.

The gallery features about 10 works painted by CJ Logistics delivery worker Won Seongjin over the past year, including "A deep silence of the Han River."

Won explained the theme of the exhibition, saying, "I wanted to see Seoul, which was forced into silence by the COVID-19 pandemic, come back to life through the Han River. Over the past year, while continuously traveling along Gangbyeonbuk-ro for deliveries, I observed the Han River flowing endlessly and painted it."

Having started as a delivery worker in 2017, Won has now become a veteran delivery worker and painter. This is his fourth solo exhibition, following his first solo exhibition titled "When the Wind Blows a Little" held at COSO Gallery in April 2018.

For Won, delivery work holds a meaning beyond just a job; it has helped him paint his dreams and stories on the canvas. Valuing work-life balance, he said, "Recently, I hired part-time workers to increase delivery efficiency and reduce time. Unless it’s a busy season, I usually finish work around 4 p.m. and then work as a painter."

Won is not only a delivery painter but also a poet who has published a poetry collection. He has participated in numerous poetry and art exhibitions organized by the Jinju Writers’ Association and published his first poetry collection, "Maemdoldaga," in 2019.
