Environmental issues explored in Yun Jung-hye's 'Traces: A Floating Future'
Exhibition highlights how consumption impacts environment
Wondering where to get your art and culture fix this spring? The Korea Craft & Design Foundation has it all for you.
Yun Hye-jung's solo exhibition, "Traces: A Floating Future," is currently on show at the KCDF gallery in Seoul's culture-rich Insa-dong until April 13.
The exhibition is the first in a series showcasing 19 up-and-coming and mid-career artists and groups who won the 2025 KCDF Craft and Design competition.
Yun's exhibition explores environmental issues caused by consuming goods and services, drawing people's eyes to overlooked stories to raise awareness of the climate crisis.
One of the featured artworks,"Floating Crisis," is delicately crafted with plastic bags. It highlights the severity of climate change and pollution in modern society while also reflecting on the impact of human actions on the environment.
Yun encourages visitors to consider the damage they have inflicted on the environment and how their use of plastic bags for convenience has contributed to environmental damage.
Displaying artworks made of everyday reusable materials, the exhibition also sheds light on building a sustainable future by reducing consumption and waste. It also encourages visitors to reflect on whether humans and the environment can coexist in harmony.
The exhibition is open from 10:00 a.m. until 10 p.m. every day and admission is free. For more information, visit the KCDF's official website.

Korea embraces beauty of everyday with monthlong craft exhibitions
Craft exhibitions on hanji and hanbok await visitors this month South Korea is turning up the charm this month with a series of craft exhibitions that celebrate the artistry found in everyday objects. The Korea Craft and Design Foundation is presenting "Hanji Objects: Embracing Wisdom" at Hanji House in Jongno-gu, central Seoul, through June 22. The exhibition spotlights "hanji," traditional Korean paper made from mulberry bark, and its evolving role over the centuries. Once primarily used for writing and books, hanji has long been repurposed into durable, lightweight and humidity-resistant household items. Artifacts on loan from the Hanji Art and Culture Foundation in Wonju, Gangwon Province, and the Goesan Hanji Experience Museum in North Chungcheong Province, illustrate the craftsmanship and ancestral wisdom embedded in these handmade pieces. The exhibition is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and admission is free. From June 13 to 15, the KCDF will also host a three-day hanbok fair at AK& Sejong. The 2025 Hanbok Expo will feature eight hanbok brands — Guiroe, Ccomaque by Dolsilnai, Daraewon Hanbok, Sun Daum, Somock Hanbok, Somikyung, Ondata Parang, and Flora Dress and Hanbok — offering visitors a chance to try on traditional attire and explore the synergy between Hangeul and hanbok. Admission is 5,000 won, with more details available on KCDF's official website. Later that month, jeweler and maker Kim Yoo-jung will unveil her second solo exhibition in five years, "Refuse to Disappear," at Yeol Bukchonga in Jongno-gu, June 17-23. Her contemporary jewelry pieces reflect on the presence of everyday objects and challenge viewers to rethink consumption and value in a fast-paced society. In Gyeonggi Province, the Yangju City Council gallery is showcasing 'The Phrase: Perspectives on Space' through June 27, featuring artists Won Jo-hyun, Lee Se-rim, Lee Eun-kyoung and Chung Dong-gyun. The exhibition draws inspiration from musical phrasing — the shaping of a passage — using visual art to express how individual works can resonate both independently and as a cohesive whole within a shared space. Admission is free.

Jung Seung-hwan returns with signature poignant ballad
After military service and entering his 30s, the singer returns with soild ballad While K-pop idols dominate the Korean music scene, one genre continues to quietly but steadily capture listeners' hearts — emotional, poignant ballads. Jung Seung-hwan, often hailed as a young blood of this classic genre, has returned with his first release since completing his military service. 'It feels strange, exciting and nerve-wracking all at once to officially return after my military discharge. Honestly, it still doesn't feel real, like I've gone back to being a rookie,' said Jung. Marking this return after a two-year hiatus, Jung decided to present what he does best. His comeback features two ballads that begin with gentle acoustic guitar and build into stirring emotional peaks. The main track, "One More Day," is a poignant tale of unanswered love, and Jung participated in writing the lyrics. The second track, "We, On The Spring Day," is a sentimental piece about longing to reunite with a past love. 'When people think of my music, they think of sorrowful, emotional and vocally expressive ballads. As this is the turning point of my career, I felt the need to release a track that fully embraces those elements,' Jung explained. The inspiration for "One More Day" came from the Japanese animated film "5 Centimeters Per Second," a favorite of Jung's. 'I've written songs about one-sided love before, but I had this vague desire to write one that felt even more pitiful and raw. When I heard the demo, I thought it would be the song for the story I wanted to tell.' Jung focused intensely on the opening lyrics of the chorus. ''Can I hate you for just one more day' — I spent the most time on that lyric. It felt more honest than saying, 'Can I love you for just one more day?' There's something about clinging to someone through resentment that reveals the narrator's last shred of pride.' This release marks Jung's first project since being discharged from the military, where he served in a military band, in January. Now 30, he reflected on his time in the service. 'I spent the last years of my 20s in the military, and with discharge, I opened my 30s. I had moments where I had to face the less-than-ideal version of myself.' Jung shared that he came up with the best yet most simple solution: relentless practice. 'There was no answer other than vocal training. All I could do was try to better myself through effort and discipline,' Jung said, adding that he recorded the main track more than five times, each session lasting over eight hours. As he approaches his 10th debut anniversary next year, Jung remarked with a laugh, 'In my heart, I still feel 23. It's strange to realize how much my actual age has caught up.' From the 19-year-old runner-up of the audition show "K-pop Star Season 4" in 2014–2015 to being dubbed the 'Crown Prince of Ballads,' Jung expressed a sincere sense of responsibility. 'There was a time when the nickname felt so heavy, but now I feel more responsibility than pressure. I often think about becoming the kind of person and artist who lives up to it.' Currently working on his next album, Jung said he was contemplating its direction. 'I'm torn between making it all ballads or exploring a mix of genres. One thing that hasn't changed is that I'm always open to new musical ideas.'
