Frieze Seoul 2023, one of the most anticipated art events in South Korea, recently witnessed a star-studded gathering, with K-Pop idols from BLACKPINK and BTS in attendance. The event, which brings together over 120 of the world's leading galleries, was not just a showcase of art but also a convergence of some of the biggest names in the K-Pop industry.
In a video that has since gone viral, BLACKPINK's Jisoo was captured sharing a light moment with her dinner seatmate, Joanna Chun. Across the table, BTS' V, also known as Kim Taehyung, was spotted. The video further revealed other South Korean celebrities, including NewJeans' Minji and Hanni, model and actress Hoyeon, and actor and model Lee Soo-hyuk.
The event wasn't just limited to these interactions. Other renowned K-Pop figures like G-DRAGON and BLACKPINK's Rosé were also reportedly present, making the event a veritable who's who of the South Korean music scene.

Frieze Seoul, now in its second edition, is not just an art exhibition. It offers curated programs encompassing film, talks, and music, reflecting the rich cultural landscape of Korea. The event, held at COEX in Gangnam, Seoul, runs alongside Kiaf SEOUL, South Korea's premier art fair. The choice of Seoul for Frieze's only Asian outpost underscores the city's cultural significance, with its vibrant music, literature, and film scenes.
On the music front, BLACKPINK is gearing up for their "Born Pink" finale concerts in Seoul, scheduled for September 16 and 17 at the Gocheok Sky Dome. This event will mark the conclusion of their world tour, which began in October 2022. The group has already performed in major venues across the U.S., including the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
BTS' V, on the other hand, is all set for the release of his solo debut album "Layover," which will be available from Friday. The album comprises six tracks, including "Rainy Days," "Blue," and "Love Me Again." Fans can also look forward to V's appearances on popular South Korean shows like "Running Man" and "You Quiz on the Block."
In a world where art and music often intersect, events like Frieze Seoul 2023 provide a platform for artists from different domains to come together, interact, and celebrate their shared passion for creativity.
