MONSTA X's Minhyuk is set to have a special experience in Paris as he participates in the "2024 K-Expo France."




From October 26 to 30, Minhyuk will attend the "2024 K-Expo France" held at the Palais Brongniart (Le Grand Auditorium) in Paris. Organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency, this is the first K-Expo of its kind in Europe. It is a large-scale showcase featuring K-content along with exhibitions, K-food, beauty, and consumer products, promoting Hallyu (the Korean Wave) on a global scale.


At the event, Minhyuk will present his own artwork in "MINHYUK's ART ZONE" and host a special "Art Talk" session with fans on October 27. He stands out as the only K-pop group artist participating in the expo. Minhyuk has been known for his artistic talents since before his enlistment in April last year, having hosted collaborative exhibitions and charitable auctions, with all proceeds going to good causes.


One of his previous exhibitions, a collaboration with street artist Doezny, fused K-pop with street culture and garnered massive attention, to the point where the venue was overwhelmed with visitors. This upcoming expo in Paris will further highlight Minhyuk's artistic talents and provide a chance to engage with global fans as part of his first overseas event after his military service.


In addition to his artistic endeavors, Minhyuk has actively promoted MONSTA X and taken on various roles as an MC in entertainment programs before his enlistment. His love for art extends to customizing outfits and props with his illustrations and calligraphy. He even hosted the second season of Naver NOW's "Vogue Ship Show," where he interacted with guests while drawing weekly.


Just days after his discharge on October 6, Minhyuk held a free fan event titled "2024 MINHYUK Fan Event <Let's GO!5rae>" to reconnect with fans, showing his deep appreciation for them.


This K-Expo will mark Minhyuk's return to international activities, where he will share his artistic skills and reconnect with fans in a memorable way.
