In a world where the ordinary meets the magical, 'NOBODY', a yellow teddy bear, begins its extraordinary journey at the center of a splendid party. This gathering is more than just a celebration; it's an assembly filled with joy and wonder. 'NOBODY' stands in the middle of a room aglow with warm light. The surroundings are filled with the twinkling of soft lights and the sound of laughter, and a large, ornately wrapped gift descending from above captures everyone's attention. This gift, the most magnificent and mysterious at the party, leads everyone into a moment of shared anticipation. As 'NOBODY' unwraps the gift, the room begins to transform. A space where the past, present, and future converge, partygoers watch in awe as 'NOBODY' is enveloped in light. The opening of the gift box reveals not just an object but a promise—a promise of discovery, growth, and understanding the true essence of Gifts.
These captured moments testify to 'NOBODY's' journey. Chosen by fate, the teddy bear traverses unknown worlds, encounters untold wonders, and returns transformed, bearing the tale of a journey like a gift.

The yellow teddy bear at the center of Korean Artist Mine Kim’s work, named “NOBODY”, is also the star of their own life, and seems to have lived a million of them so far. As such, their adventures may seem oddly familiar to viewers. Bright, button-eyed, and bursting at the seams to be noticed, that teddy bear is YOU! Well, that’s not entirely true. It’s you, but it’s also me… It’s everybody, but more importantly, nobody. Confused? That’s to be expected. Life is confusing, and other people’s lives even more so. As a fairy tale illustrator and devotee of James Joyce, Mine Kim’s semi-autobiographical series “Dear NOBODY” delights in elevating the everyday to extraordinary heights through the eyes of her cuddly main character, and relishes in portraying all the details and people that occupy that space and time with us, often simultaneously. Likewise, by literally naming her bear “NOBODY,” Mine Kim is able to defy age, gender, occupation, nationality, and more to bring us closer to something like a “universal experience” of the everyday person. In the words of the artist: “The Meaning of the meaningless’ is the most important phrase in my artwork. Thus, NOBODY could be everybody.”
Introducing “K-Pop All Star 2.0”, Orangehare’s second all-star lineup of S. Korea’s most prominent young artists making waves today. In this era of instantaneous communication and blurred boundaries between collectors, consumers, and artists, anyone can now lead in this realm of constant change. Guided by playful characters and vibrant colors, where icons reign supreme and creativity is the currency, these Korean creators express themselves by any means necessary. Yet, amidst all the sights and sounds, we can still glimpse the fractured self—a "Self-portrait of the artist as an avatar" unfolding in web3, particularly by the creators in this lineup. Within this borderless universe, all eight artists in OrangeHare’s "K.Pop.2" NFT collection shape their own identities, claiming movies and cartoons not by country, but by personal connection. Through screens, canvas, and keyboards, they craft new personal mythologies, ushering in the global phenomenon of “K-Pop All Star 2.0"
