"D'FESTA THE ORIGIN," a large-scale exhibition featuring 48 K-pop artists, will be held from October 23 to November 30 at the MPX Gallery on level L3 of IFC Mall in Yeouido, Seoul.
Nine groups took part in this exhibition: G-DRAGON, BTS, Stray Kids, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, aespa, ENHYPEN, IVE, RIIZE, and CORTIS. More than 30 large-scale filming sets were constructed, and shoots were carried out over approximately four months.
The starting point of the exhibition is the "Origin." It captures the dreams and passions of K-pop artists through various art forms, including photography, video, fashion, and fine art. The showcase consists of sections such as "The Ninefold," highlighting the distinct individuality of the nine acts; "Hues of Black," featuring large black-and-white portraits; and "Canon No. 48," a large-scale piece completed jointly by all 48 artists. In addition, the exhibition runs "The Squeeze," which introduces paintings drawn directly by the artists; "Letters," containing handwritten letters and video messages addressed to fans; and the interactive visitor program "The Encounter."
A representative from "D'FESTA" stated, "We put in long and painstaking effort to showcase the most radiant moments of K-pop in a new artistic format," encouraging fans to look forward to the event.
Following the Seoul exhibition, "D'FESTA THE ORIGIN" is scheduled to tour major cities worldwide, beginning in Tokyo in January next year. Detailed information regarding the exhibition schedule and ticket reservations can be found on NOL Ticket.
