The faces of your favorite stars are coming together to help children!
An exhibition where art goes beyond simple appreciation to inspire sharing opens today (the 7th).
The photo exhibition “Face to Face,” a collaboration between Korea’s representative photographer Kim Young-jun and Japan’s leading art director Yoshida Yuni, will be held from May 7 to June 7 at the DDP Igansumun Exhibition Hall in Seoul.
This public art project brings together top-tier creators from both Korea and Japan, presenting a new form of cultural content where visitor participation translates into social value.
Using “flowers” as a motif, the exhibition symbolizes harmony, rebirth, and the future, serving as a new cultural platform connecting Seoul and Tokyo. It also proposes a sustainable exchange model based on cultural arts through a structure of viewing, participation, empathy, and giving back.
The exhibition is drawing significant attention as a social contribution project, with all proceeds being donated to the treatment of child patients.
A total of 62 representative actors from Korea and Japan participated in this project.
From Korea, the lineup includes Go Hyun-jung, Kim Da-mi, Kim Min-kyu, Kim So-hyun, Kim Young-dae, Kim Hye-jun, Park Sung-hoon, Park Shin-hye, Park Ji-hu, Park Hae-soo, Park Hyung-sik, Byeon Woo-seok, Seo In-guk, So Ji-sub, Song Hye-kyo, Ahn Bo-hyun, Ahn So-hee, Ahn Eun-jin, Yang Se-jong, Ok Taec-yeon, Woo Do-hwan, Lee Dong-wook, Lee Byung-hun, Lee Jae-wook, Lee Jun-ho, Lee Jin-wook, Lee Hee-jun, Lee Yu-mi, Jang Ki-yong, Jeon Yeo-been, Jung So-min, Jung Chae-yeon, Jo Jung-suk, Jo Woo-jin, Ju Ji-hoon, Cha Joo-young, Chae Won-bin, Chae Jong-hyeop, Chun Woo-hee, Choi Hyun-wook, Chu Young-woo, Han Ji-min, Han Hyo-joo, Hong Kyung, and Hwang Jung-min.
From Japan, the all-star lineup is completed by Nana Komatsu, Rinko Kikuchi, Taiga Nakano, Masatoshi Nagase, Eita Nagayama, Mari Natsuki, Masami Nagasawa, Rie Miyazawa, Asami Mizukawa, Kentaro Sakaguchi, Eiji Akaso, Rikako Yagi, Joe Odagiri, Rihito Itagaki, Yumi Kawai, Kaho, and Suzu Hirose.
With the concept of “Actor x Flower,” this immersive art project combines the narratives and emotions of the actors with the symbolic object of a flower. It visually expands the actors’ emotions and stories, allowing visitors to feel as if they are stepping into the scenes of the artwork.
The exhibition also features various experiential content, including AI-based motion graphics, interactive photo zones, and participatory art walls, expanding the experience from simply “seeing” to “experiencing” the art. This project is linked to an exhibition at the Azabudai Hills Gallery in Tokyo, with the Seoul DDP exhibition serving as a key pillar of a global art tour connecting the two cities.
