BLACKPINK's Jisoo recently caused a stir in South Korea by sharing casual daily photos on her social media, which inadvertently revealed an impressive collection of high-value artworks within her home. This unexpected glimpse into her private space, featuring pieces by renowned Korean modern artists, quickly became a hot topic, sparking discussions among netizens about art collecting and lifestyle.
The photos, posted on August 23rd with the caption "a collection of this and that," showed Jisoo in comfortable attire, taking mirror selfies. Behind her, artworks identified as potentially from Lee Ufan's 'Dialogue' series and Park Seo-bo's 'Écriture' series were prominently displayed. Notably, large-scale works from Lee Ufan's 'Dialogue' series have been valued at 1 billion to 2 billion won in past auctions, with one 300-ho piece estimated between 1.9 billion and 2.5 billion won in 2019.
Local bloggers and netizens expressed "cultural shock" at the sight of such valuable art integrated seamlessly into a celebrity's everyday living space. This casual presentation, rather than an overt display of wealth, was interpreted as a genuine reflection of a collector who naturally coexists with art, making it a part of her daily life. The unpretentious nature of Jisoo's photos, despite the significant value of the art, amplified the public's fascination.
