Hip Blast–Sunny Version, Jung Ju Shin, 2025

In the new year of 2026, a special journey begins to heal inner wounds through art and find one's true self.

On the 17th, the two-person exhibition 'Cross Dopamine,' featuring two female artists, New York Unnie (Jung Ju Shin) and Ina (Hwang Ina), opens its doors at Gallery Diamondg (CEO Choi Soo-hyun) in Haebangchon, Seoul, spanning its first and second floors.

Gallery Diamondg, the organizer of the exhibition, stated, "The cross is a pillar and an object of faith that holds human wounds. We defined the happiness felt in the process of recovery, healing, and finding one's true self through this as 'dopamine.'"

The two artists, who have drawn different paths in life, engage in a profound dialogue through this exhibition on themes of △light and shadow, △wounds and recovery, and △beauty and authenticity. Visitors will be able to project their own experiences onto the artworks, gaining inner healing and new inspiration.

An 'All-Senses Satisfying' Opening Party with G-Dragon Beer and Club DJing

The opening reception on the 17th at 3 PM, marking the exhibition's commencement, will be transformed from a conventional, static exhibition opening into a glamorous New Year's party.

Notably, the recently popular 'G-Dragon Beer (Daisy Ale)' will be served to VIPs at this party, and the electrifying energy of the new year 2026 will be further ignited by the DJing of a renowned DJ active in Hongdae clubs.

The two artists shared their sentiments, "We hope this exhibition brings small comfort and hope to modern individuals living through tiring daily lives. We want to convey a positive message to everyone welcoming the new year 2026."

The 'Cross Dopamine' exhibition, where art, party, and healing coexist, will be on display at Diamondg from January 17th to 31st.
