'Gikan 84's artwork was listed on 'Danggeun' for 150 million won.

'Byul-i Bitnaneun Cheongdam' (Shining Cheongdam), an original painting by Gikan 84, recently appeared on the secondhand trading platform Danggeun Market, drawing the attention of netizens. Notably, the asking price was set at a staggering 150 million won, adding to the surprise.

'Byul-i Bitnaneun Cheongdam' was previously exhibited at Gikan 84's first solo exhibition, 'Full Ownership,' which ran from March 25 to April 5, 2022.

'At the time, Gikan 84 personally introduced the work on his YouTube channel, 'Life 84.' Regarding his first solo exhibition, he stated, "The main concept I focused on was 'desire.' I thought about what I want most, and what others want most. While this might sound greedy or shallow, in my view, what Koreans cry, laugh, and even repay through lifelong loans is real estate."

'He continued, "So, I chose real estate as the main subject, and the first piece I painted was 'Byul-i Bitnaneun Cheongdam.' I often run along the Han River. The Cheongdam Zia building always comes into view. To me, it looks incredibly stylish and like a treasure—not a treasure listed in national archives or social books, but one that, in my opinion, modern people consider the Han River apartment buildings to be. Inspired by Van Gogh's 'Starry Night,' I created this as a parody."

'Gikan 84 also painted a series including 'Byul-i Bitnaneun Apgujeong' (Shining Apgujeong), 'Byul-i Bitnaneun Seongsu' (Shining Seongsu), and 'Byul-i Bitnaneun Jamsil' (Shining Jamsil), alongside 'Byul-i Bitnaneun Cheongdam,' repeatedly emphasizing that they were created with "desire" as the central theme.

'Furthermore, Gikan 84's first solo exhibition was featured on MBC's 'I Live Alone,' which aired on April 15, 2022. Park Na-rae, a regular cast member at the time, praised Gikan 84, saying, "To my eyes, he is Korea's Andy Warhol."

'Gikan 84 also made headlines by donating the entire 87 million won proceeds from his first solo exhibition.
