[The Opening Reception] KITSCH & POP: Korean Pop Art Now (2 Oct, 6-8 pm) 

Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong invites you to the opening reception of “KITSCH & POP: Korean Pop Art Now”, co-organized by the Seoul Museum of Art and the Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong. 

Following its presentation in Shanghai and traveling to Hong Kong, the exhibition brings together works by two generations of artists. Featured prominently are younger artists active in the post-internet era since the 2010s, including Sunpil Don, Mirim Chu, Sangho Noh, Raejung Sim, Sungsil Ryu, and Jeongsu Woo, alongside Kyoung Tack Hong, Donghyun Son, MeeNa Park, and Shinhye Kim, who began exploring Korean Pop Art in the early 2000s. This intergenerational dialogue highlights how the visual language of Pop has been reinterpreted and expanded in a Korean context. 

✨Opening Reception✨ 

Date: Thursday, 2 Oct 2025, 6:00 – 8:00 PM (Opening Ceremony and Curator's tour at 7 PM) 

Venue: Korean Cultural Center (6-7/F, Block B, PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street, Central) 

The curator Ms. Bobae Lee and one of the participating artists Ms. Mirim Chu will present the opening. 

【展覽開幕酒會】《媚俗與波普 : 韓式波普藝術的現狀》（10月2日 下午6-8時）

駐香港韓國文化院誠邀您參加由首爾市立美術館與駐香港韓國文化院共同主辦《媚俗與波普 : 韓式波普藝術的現狀》的展覽開幕酒會。展覽繼上海站後移師香港，配合海外韓國文化院的展覽空間，重點呈現兩組藝術家的創作對話： 一方面聚焦2010年之後「後互聯網時代」的韓國新晉藝術家頓善弼、秋美林、盧尚號、 沈來廷、柳誠實、禹廷秀的作品，另一方面將其與2000年代中前期奠定韓式波普藝術脈絡的代表人物洪京澤、孫東鉉、樸美娜、金信惠的創作相結合交織呈現。這場跨世代的對話突顯了流行藝術的視覺語言如何在韓國語境中被重新詮釋並加以延伸。

✨ 開幕酒會 ✨
日期：2025年10月2日（星期四），18:00 - 20:00（開幕禮及策展人導覽：19:00）
地點：駐香港韓國文化院（香港中環鴨巴甸街35號PMQ 元創方B座Hollywood 6-7樓）

策展人李寶培學藝研究士與參展藝術家之一的秋美林女士將出席開幕活動。

在平凡的一天展開特別的時間旅行…究竟這個旅程將會帶來怎樣的結局？

1969年7月，阿波羅11號升空之際，裁縫師南原的夢想也隨之起飛！

一封設計學院的錄取通知，點燃了他與戀人靜芬對未來的無限憧憬。然而，當月亮在夜空中異常變大，南原醒來後竟置身2020年——眼前不是年輕的愛人，而是一位陌生的老婦人善喜。靜芬去了哪裡？善喜又是誰？為了回到摯愛身邊，南原必須在這個陌生的未來尋找答案……

韓國音樂劇界天后尹工晝與房眞義、28年資深演員金泰漢、音樂劇《女巫前傳》韓國版主演羅 HANA 、曾出演韓劇《海岸村恰恰恰》的多棲演員洪志姬，以及人氣男演員安志桓，將率原班人馬蒞臨香港，呈獻由韓國劇壇著名作曲家閔燦泓及音樂劇《小王子》導演李大雄等領銜打造的感人鉅作。
