Artists from several corners of Korean pop culture gathered at SongEun in Seoul’s Cheongdam-dong neighborhood on October 28. IVE’s Jang Wonyoung, ATEEZ’s San and MONSTA X’s Shownu joined a photo call for the BVLGARI B.zero1 exhibition preview, along with Taiwanese fashion model Nah Kai and other guests.
The guests appeared in separate photo reports, but all were attending the same event. The preview marked the opening of an exhibition exploring how BVLGARI’s B.zero1 jewelry design connects with contemporary Korean art. Importantly, the guest named Kai was model Nah Kai, not EXO’s Kai.
One photo call, a wide-ranging guest list
Wonyoung, San, Shownu and Nah Kai posed for photographers at the preview. Other attendees included actress Kim Ji-won, actor Lee Seo-jin, figure skater Cha Jun-hwan, ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s Sangwon and rapper BewhY. Covering the photo call as one event gives a clearer picture of the guest list than treating each arrival as a separate story.
The setting mattered, too. SongEun is a contemporary art space in Seoul’s Cheongdam district, an area where fashion houses, galleries and celebrity culture frequently overlap. This was an exhibition preview, not a concert or a product launch by any of the attending artists. Their presence at the photo call also does not, on its own, establish that each person holds an ambassador contract with BVLGARI.
Why BVLGARI brought B.zero1 to an art space
The exhibition, LIGHT, FORM AND VISION: Roman Heritage in Dialogue with Korean Contemporary Art, opens to the public on October 29 and runs through November 14, 2026. Working with SongEun Cultural Foundation, BVLGARI invited six Korean artist teams to respond to the forms and ideas behind B.zero1, a collection first introduced in 1999 and inspired by the Colosseum in Rome.
Visitors will find works spanning painting, sculpture, video, installation and sound. The point is not simply to display jewelry behind glass. The exhibition asks what happens when a familiar luxury design becomes a starting point for contemporary art — and that gives the celebrity-filled preview a little more context than the photographs alone can provide.
A meeting of music, fashion and contemporary art
For Wonyoung, San and Shownu, the evening was another occasion to step out beyond their groups’ performances. Model Nah Kai brought a fashion-industry presence to the guest list. The different audiences following these figures help explain why a single exhibition preview generated so many photo headlines.
The exhibition itself runs beyond the photo call, giving Seoul visitors an opportunity to see the art and design conversation that brought everyone together. The October 28 celebrity appearances were a preview evening; the public exhibition begins October 29.
