[Sports Chosun Reporter Jeong Bit] The special painting gifted to BTS’s Jin by webtoon artist Kian84 is gaining attention.
On the 21st, Jin posted a photo on his account along with the caption, “Thank you for the gift, CEO Kian84.”
The photo revealed a painting gifted by Kian84 to Jin, depicting a naked man and woman embracing each other. The glittering texture, resembling set cubic stones, is particularly striking.
What’s especially notable is that the two figures are painted in purple, which suggests that Kian84 had BTS’s symbolic color in mind while working on it.
Additionally, there’s an interpretation that Kian84 wanted to express his gratitude to Jin, with whom he has made connections through Netflix’s “Kian Kitchen,” by gifting this painting.
Another color version of this artwork was also displayed at Kian84’s solo exhibition “Kian’s Drawings” last year. The artwork is titled “The Last Couple,” and at that time, Kian84 pointed out that the characters in the painting are wearing “cone collars” typically used on pets.
He further explained that he aimed to express the current young generation that prefers staying at home alone rather than going out.
The show “Kian Kitchen,” featuring the two, is a new type of guesthouse reality show where crazy becomes fantastic, and killing becomes healing. Kian84 appears as the owner of the guesthouse “Kian Kitchen,” with Jin and Ji Ye-eun working as staff members. Episodes 7-9 are set to be released on Netflix at 4 PM on the 22nd.
