Since its first open call in 2004, Kumho Museum of Art has selected 101 artists through its young artist support program, “Kumho Young Artist,” and hosted solo exhibitions for the artists. The exhibit 2025 KUMHO YOUNG ARTIST presents new works of 6 artists selected from the 22nd open call at their respective solo exhibits. The first part (3.21~4.27) introduces Cheolgyu Kang, Seungjoon Song, and Haevan Lee, and the second part (5.9~6.15) introduces Nayoung Kang, Sangwoo Yoo, and Hyeongjoon Joo.

Haevan Lee explores the structures of borders and their socio-cultural implications in various geopolitical boundary regions, drawing from her upbringing near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Lee highlights the paradox of buffer zones, which serve as heavily monitored military areas designed to prevent conflict and ease tensions between nations, while simultaneously allowing nature to thrive due to the absence of human intervention. This exhibition features a series of landscape paintings, murals, and objects centered on the color orange, symbolizing invisible boundaries within the natural environment of buffer zones, alongside imagery evoking explosions. Through these works, Lee captures traces of lingering conflict within landscapes, presenting the contradictory nature of buffer zones where order and chaos coexist
