Actor and painter Park Shin-yang confessed to a trauma from his elementary school days.
On the 4th, a video titled Sung Si Kyung's 만날텐데 l It was my first meeting with Park Shin-yang, and the conversation we had stayed with me for a long time was uploaded to the YouTube channel Sung Si Kyung.
Park Shin-yang, who held his first solo exhibition in 2023, will hold "Park Shin-yang's exhibition show - the fourth wall" at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts Sejong Gallery from March 6 to May 10.
Park Shin-yang is living a second life as a painter. Sung Si Kyung asked what led him to start painting. Park Shin-yang opened up, saying, "I didn't know I liked painting. I thought I didn't know art and lived that way for quite a long time. I had never tried drawing before."
Park Shin-yang recalled, "In first grade, the homeroom teacher told the children, 'Draw what you want to draw.' During an open class attended by parents, I excitedly drew what I wanted to draw. When the teacher approached, thinking she was going to praise me, I got excited and was scolded severely."
He added, "I drew a very large red apple. I was scolded starting with 'Is this even a picture?' and 'Who told you to draw it like this?' and from then on I stopped drawing," explaining how the trauma developed.
Later, in his mid-to-late 20s while studying in Russia to learn acting, Park Shin-yang visited art museums and museums even if it meant skipping a meal each day. He said he first felt as if he were being drawn into a painting at a small art museum, and "from that day everything changed completely," revealing that he plunged into the world of art.
