Jungwoo Ha's exhibition will be held from October 16 (Wednesday) to November 16 (Saturday) at the main exhibition hall and the Oreum hall located in Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, under the title "Never tell anyone body outside the family."
The exhibition title "Never tell anyone body outside the family" is a famous line of Ha Jung-woo's movie "Godfather" that he loves Jungwoo Ha, meaning "Don't tell anyone other than your family what you think". The Jungwoo Ha, who has been painting for a long time but has not said much as an artist until now, adds its meaning by paradoxically expressing his desire to carefully break the egg through this exhibition.
In this exhibition, Jungwoo Ha traces the point of reinterpreting primitive symbolic expressions, conveying the resonance of the source of human existence and suggesting new emotional discoveries. The carpet-design-inspired new works consist of regular lines and geometric abstractions, highlighting mystique and purity.

Jungwoo Ha is known to have been preparing for this exhibition with all their heart and soul despite a busy schedule that promotes the film 'Hijacking' and works on the second half of the film 'Robbie'. It is also raising expectations for visitors, signaling that it will be the largest large-scale exhibition ever held.
Earlier, Jungwoo Ha's work No. 100 (162.2×130.3 cm) was reportedly sold for 20 million won.
Meanwhile, Jungwoo Ha has completed the second half of the film he directed 'Robbie' and is in the midst of preparing for his next film.
