Actor Kim Seung-hyun discovered new possibilities as a painter amidst a six-year acting hiatus.

On the 6th, the YouTube channel 'Gwangsan Kim Family' released a video titled 'Mid-40s Former Actor II Honey, What Are You Doing...'.

That day, Kim Seung-hyun displayed paintings he created himself in a hotel room and transformed into a one-day docent. He personally explained the stories behind his works to visitors who came to the exhibition.

Kim Seung-hyun's wife, Jang Jeong-yoon, said, "It seems certain that he has talent for painting," acknowledging her husband's abilities. She advised him to find a studio, but also mentioned that Kim Seung-hyun completed his works by spreading canvases at home and using crayons.

Kim Seung-hyun stated, "All of these are works I painted," and revealed, "I have loved painting since childhood. While I was deciding on my career path to attend art school, I accidentally passed an open casting audition for models and ended up working in the entertainment industry."

He also shared that even after becoming an actor, he drew paintings whenever he had time, and that painting helped him endure difficult periods. At this exhibition, a visitor who purchased one of Kim Seung-hyun's works also appeared.

A source advised Kim Seung-hyun to raise the prices of his works, but he declined, stating that increasing prices from his first work was not appropriate. Later, when offered a proposal to work together as partner artists, Kim Seung-hyun showed an active attitude by saying, "I will agree quickly."

Kim Seung-hyun had previously stated that last year marked the fifth consecutive year without acting activities. With the acting hiatus now entering its sixth year, he achieved new results in the field of art he dreamed of during his childhood, including selling works and receiving proposals for artist activities.

Meanwhile, Kim Seung-hyun married broadcast writer Jang Jeong-yoon in 2020 and welcomed their second daughter in 2024.
