Shinsegae Department Store in Seoul is hosting an exhibition featuring the renowned Korean typographer Ahn Sang-soo at Shinsegae Gallery Cheongdam, located in the basement of Boon the Shop. The exhibition, named 'Ahn Sang-soo Solo Exhibition: Wings: Hory-e, Holy-liero-da,' runs until June 21, celebrating the beauty of Hangul (the Korean alphabet) through artistic typography. Ahn Sang-soo is known for creating the 'Ahn Sang-soo Font' and has expanded typography into an art form, promoting the aesthetic value of Hangul globally. The exhibition includes works like 'Munyi,' inspired by the writer Yi Sang, and 'Hangul Goblin,' which reimagines traditional Korean goblin characters with modern design featuring Korean consonants 'ㅎ' and 'ㅇ.' Visitors can purchase art goods related to the exhibition to continue experiencing the art in their daily lives. The surge in international visits and memberships last year indicates growing interest in Korean culture at Boon the Shop Cheongdam. Shinsegae Gallery aims to capture global interest in Korean culture and lifestyle through unique exhibitions that offer artistic experiences.
