“I don’t want you to scold the child. It's a valuable work for the artist, but I don't want to force my child to feel sorry.”

 

A kindergartener visiting a sculpture exhibition with her mother broke Kim Woon-seong's work. It is not an exhibition for sale, but the price of the work was 5 million won.

The art museum urgently contacted the artist. The text message above is Kim Woon-seong's reply to that contact.

 

To quote a little more text message, “I hope you don’t think of reimbursement or compensation. I think there must have been a shock to parents and children after the work was damaged. I hope that the writer can handle it and help the mother and child understand it well.”

The story didn't end here. Author Kim Moon-seong stayed up all night the next day to put the broken work back together, and said that this was also a work of art, and re-exhibited it.

Of course, the child's mother directly apologized to the artist.

 

It is a beautiful and heartwarming story. The artist asked parents about how audiences treat art. At the same time, he also told me what the artist's own art world was like.

Writer Kim Mun-seong put the heart of the young audience who might be broken first than the heart of the actor.

 

I've been retelling this story. Coincidentally, it is also these days that art terrorism is controversial to inform the dangers of the climate crisis.

Here's some artwork. This work was smashed due to the negligence of the human who visited the museum.

However, humans do not know how great the work they have done is. They are shifting responsibility to each other, saying, “I don’t know,” and “I don’t know.

To make matters worse, the creator of this work is also firmly committed to it. 'I had no choice but to attach 5 million won, but the effort and sincerity I put in is much more expensive than 500 million won. You will have to be prepared to pay more than 500 million won.’

 

You know what I'm talking about. (Sorry for throwing cold water on a heartwarming story.)

Earth and nature were the most perfect art. Humans were ignorant and greedy spectators.

People couldn't even keep their place, so came up on the stage and cracked the piece.

In response, nature warned countless times, and humans completely ignored it. There is no more understanding and tolerance between nature and man. Severe retribution and great compensation await us.

 

The time when the early dawn and evening twilight, the red sunlight and the dark darkness intersect. In France, this moment is called "the time between dogs and wolves." when objects cannot be distinguished as enemies or friends is not clearly visible.

At least so far, it seems that humans are inviting wolves, not dogs.
