A new artwork inspired by BTS’s Jimin will be unveiled at FOCUS Art Fair New York 2025, taking place from May 15 to 18.



Illustrator Lee.K, who has consistently declared Jimin as his muse and drawn inspiration from him for years, announced his participation in the upcoming art fair and revealed a new piece based on Jimin via social media. The upcoming work continues Lee.K's dedication to portraying Jimin through his distinctive artistic lens.



FOCUS Art Fair also highlighted the announcement on its official Instagram, sharing a video and the caption: “Artist Lee.K’s muse, BTS JIMIN, is coming to New York. Jimin’s face is flawless from every angle, which is why Lee.K continues to paint him with his bold and emotional style.”



Lee.K has exhibited portraits of Jimin in various countries over the years. Notably, during FOCUS Art Fair Paris in September 2022, held at the Carrousel du Louvre, Jimin's portrait drew constant crowds of visitors and global fans throughout the exhibition period. The overwhelming response generated significant buzz across social media platforms at the time.
