Original works by writer and broadcaster Kian84 (real name Kim Hee-min) and WINNER's Song Min-ho have appeared on second-hand marketplaces, but both listings were ultimately hidden by the sellers.

Recently, the second-hand trading platform Daangn Market saw Kian84's "A Star-Shining Cheongdam" and Song Min-ho's "Giraffe In My Eyes 1" original paintings listed consecutively. The asking prices were set at 150 million won and 4.751111 million won, respectively.

These are all works that Kian84 and Song Min-ho first showcased during their respective solo exhibitions in 2022. At the time, Kian84 debuted as a painter following his webtoon career, while Song Min-ho debuted as an artist under the stage name Ohnim. Kian84, who has a YouTube channel "Life84" with 1.65 million subscribers, and Song Min-ho, who promoted his solo exhibition extensively through his YouTube channel and an SNS account with 5.31 million followers, generated significant buzz.

Notably, the seller was the same person for both listings. Given that these were meaningful works by popular celebrities, the high price points drew intense attention from netizens. However, since Kian84 had previously donated the entire 87 million won in proceeds from his first exhibition, some expressed bitter reactions to the sale price, which far exceeded that amount.

Furthermore, regarding Kian84's work, the seller stated, "Disposing due to relocation. The imagery and oil painting texture are unique compared to other works. Please only offer if you are truly interested." In contrast, for Song Min-ho's painting, the seller provided only the description, "It is a print. It comes with a frame and acrylic."

Due to the "celebrity name value" of Kian84 and Song Min-ho, the second-hand listings quickly attracted explosive interest. In response, the seller hid both listings, ending the sales and raising questions about the reasons behind the sudden withdrawal.

Meanwhile, Song Min-ho, who served as a social service agent at a facility in Mapo-gu, Seoul, from March 2023 to December 2024, is facing allegations of dereliction of duty, including 102 days of unauthorized absence. Consequently, the Prosecution Service recently requested a one-year and six-month prison sentence for Song Min-ho.
