BTS' Jimin portrait draws large crowds to Artist Lee K's exhibition at the Focus Art Fair in Paris' Carrousel du Louvre

BTS' Jimin is a muse in the art world, and numerous artists have created artwork based on his magnificent features.

On the 29th of August, South Korean Illustrator and artist Lee K announced that one of Jimin's portraits would be featured during his showcase at the Focus Art Fair 'Boom' in Paris, France. What is more interesting is that this year the popular modern fair is being held from the 1st to the 4th of September in the Carrousel du Louvre, which is within the Louvre Palace complex.

The Carrousel du Louvre, which is adjacent to the actual Louvre museum, is at the pinnacle of the boom and activities of conventions and exhibitions in Paris. It has state-of-the-art facilities, shopping areas, and exhibition spaces and thus gets close to 8 Million visitors annually from across the globe.

This announcement was made by the artist in a poster on Instagram made from a Jimin artwork to introduce the fair, as his custom often is. This made fans very excited and eager to go visit the exhibition and see everything in person.

As the exhibition opened officially to the public, a breathtakingly exquisite and illustrious portrait of Jimin was seen exhibited at the Focus Art Fair premises. Video footage and photos from the event can be seen with hoards of fans and the public scrambling to catch a glimpse of the painting, with many marveling at his beauty and taking photos. The artist himself also shared photos and videos of the artwork posted by those who attended the exhibition on Instagram.

For those who could not make it to Paris and behold it with our own eyes, the long queues and crowds are a testament to Jimin's great popularity worldwide. Those who had previously dreamed and made edits of Jimin's art being at the Louvre, at least enough, now have a reason to smile. Fans have mentioned that his artwork has the same impact as the classic paintings, the Mona Lisa or Girl With a Pearl Earring, and seeing the hype surrounding it, it can't be denied, especially since Mona Lisa was also seen trending on Twitter as fans made these comparisons.

This is the third time that a Jimin artwork is being showcased at the Focus Art Fair, which is a global art fair with different themes each year in order to promote artists in an individualized fashion. These have been held in cities like London, the United Kingdom, Porto in Portugal Et al.

The artist has stated this as the reason for Jimin being his ultimate muse since 2019, saying, "Jimin is the best from every angle and has an attractive face for men...BTS Jimin is also blessed with great charm because he has multiple personalities expressed through his face."

BTS' Leader Kim Namjoon who is a lover of art in a VLIVE, revealed that whenever he visits exhibitions, he sees a lot of artwork inspired by Jimin, praising his beauty. Additionally, Kim YongJin, an artist dealing in 3D images of twisting wire, has showcased at the Hwarang Festival, Busan Annual Market of Art 2021, Korea International Art Fair, and Seoul Gangnam Gallery Art Fair. Along with these are various artists like Korean Illustrator Y0ngmini, Art scholar & Professor Jin YoungSun, Argentine pop artist Alejandro Vigilante, Japanese illustrators & Manga artists Aya Kanno, Mai Yoneyama & Eiko Kera, British artist Hector Janse van Rensburg and Hein among many who have created glorious Jimin artworks of all types.
