Hechyeomoyeo opens 18th mass exhibition at KOTE featuring over 500 artists

The Hechyeomoyeo (HCMY) opened its 18th mass exhibition at KOTE in central Seoul's Insa-dong on Wednesday. The opening party featured music, live drawing, face painting, clowns and flash tattoos, as art lovers from Korea and all around the world crowded into all five floors plus the roof and basement of the aging building that houses KOTE. “My approach is straightforward: If someone tells me they have a creative skill to share, I try to find a place for them in the event,” Neil Wheelock Deforest Smith, the American artist who started HCMY, told The Korea Times. HCMY is an independent art initiative that began in Korea as an effort to make exhibition opportunities more accessible to Korea-based artists. It has grown into an international community, connecting hundreds of creators across continents. Despite its global reach, HCMY maintains a strong connection to its Korean roots. Smith estimates that approximately 65 percent of the participants at HCMY's Korean exhibitions are Korean nationals, while around 20 to 30 percent are foreign residents, and the rest are international artists

Korean actresses reveal hair loss struggles

Hair loss is becoming an unexpectedly candid topic among Korean actresses, with Park Han-byul, Lee Joo-yeon and Park Kyung-hye sharing their struggles with thinning hair, graying roots and scalp concerns. One actress even admitted to using hair-concealing powder to cover thinning areas. Park Han-byul recently opened up about her hair concerns in a video posted on her YouTube channel, where she shared updates on her life on Jeju Island. "I used to have really thick hair, but as I've gotten older, I feel like I've been losing a lot of it," she said. Park said she had tried eating black beans, widely believed in Korea to help with hair health, and using hair masks, but neither seemed to make a difference. "I'm worried that I might actually develop hair loss at this rate," she said. The actress also shared her frustration over gray hairs becoming increasingly noticeable along her part. "I get really stressed because gray hairs show up right where I part my hair, more than anywhere else," she said. Lee Joo-yeon, a former member of girl group After School, also spoke candidly about her hair conce
