Actress Kim Hye-soo has shared her recent experience visiting the exhibition of the legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, expressing deep inspiration.

On the 15th, Kim Hye-soo posted several photos on her social media account from her visit to the Basquiat exhibition. Currently being held at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul, the exhibition is widely admired for its unique artistic world.

In the revealed photos, Kim Hye-soo sported a stylish ankle-length trench coat, complemented by a red hat that added a chic point to her outfit, despite her tall stature. Pictured before the works of Jean-Michel Basquiat, often nicknamed the 'Black Picasso' and highly regarded during his lifetime, Kim Hye-soo appeared to be deeply impressed, observing the art with a thoughtful expression.

Known in the entertainment industry as a cultured individual with a passion for the arts, Kim Hye-soo is renowned for her deep appreciation of cultural and artistic pursuits. She is particularly known for her dedication to reading, going as far as to hire translators for foreign books not officially available in Korea, demonstrating her profound engagement with cultural activities.

Meanwhile, Kim Hye-soo is set to return to the small screen next year in the drama 'Second Signal'.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically to the intersection of Kim Hye-soo's artistic sensibility and the Basquiat exhibition. Comments included, "It feels like Basquiat's work became even hipper thanks to Kim Hye-soo," "As expected, a fashion icon! She perfectly matches the vibe of the art," and "It's great to see her enjoying cultural activities like this."
