'Horangnabi' Kim Heung-guk to Hold Second Solo Exhibition Next Month at Naru Art Center

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The second solo exhibition of singer and broadcaster Kim Heung-guk will be held from the 4th to the 10th of next month at the Naru Art Center in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.

Kim held his first solo exhibition in 2009. In this exhibition, "Tiger Butterfly Kim Heung-guk's Art Collection," he will showcase over 50 artworks collected over 13 years since his first solo exhibition.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to a scholarship foundation. In 2000, Kim established the Kim Heung-guk Scholarship Foundation under his name to help children from underprivileged backgrounds.

Kim said, "I gathered the courage with the hope that our children, who are passing through the dark tunnel of COVID-19, will start the Year of the Rabbit 2023 with hope," adding, "I hope to introduce hidden gem artists in our society and to spread the culture of donation."

During the exhibition, professional docents will provide explanations of each artwork along with methods for appreciation combining theory and interpretation. Events such as auctions of celebrity-owned items, prize quizzes, donation ceremonies, and New Year's rice cake sharing will also be held.

Kim served as the 5th president of the Korea Singers Association and currently holds the position of vice president of the Marine Corps Veterans Association Central Committee.
