Original artworks by artist and broadcaster Ki-an 84 and WINNER member Song Min-ho were listed for sale as secondhand items, but both listings ended with a 'hidden' status.

Recently, the secondhand trading platform Danggeun Market saw Ki-an 84'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 were all works first showcased during their respective solo exhibitions in 2022. At that time, Ki-an 84 debuted as a painter following his webtoon career, while Song Min-ho launched his artistic career under the stage name Ohnim. Ki-an 84 promoted his first solo exhibition extensively through his YouTube channel "Life84," which has 1.65 million subscribers, and MBC's variety show "I Live Alone." Song Min-ho also generated significant buzz by promoting his exhibition via his YouTube channel and his SNS account with 5.31 million followers.

Notably, the seller was the same individual for both listings. Given that these were meaningful works by popular celebrities, the high price points drew intense attention from netizens. However, since Ki-an 84 had previously donated the entire 87 million won proceeds from his first exhibition to charity, some expressed bitter reactions to the sale price, which far exceeded that amount.

Additionally, regarding Ki-an 84's artwork, the seller stated, "I am disposing of it due to relocation. It features a unique iconography and oil painting texture different from other works. Please only propose if you are genuinely interested." In contrast, for Song Min-ho's painting, the seller provided only the explanation, "It is a print. It comes with a frame and acrylic."

Thanks to the "celebrity name value" of Ki-an 84 and Song Min-ho, the secondhand listings quickly attracted explosive interest. In response, the seller hid both listings, ending the sales and raising questions about the reasons behind the move.

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. Recently, the Prosecution Service has requested a one-year and six-month prison sentence for Song Min-ho.
