As a graphic designer and an illustrator, the work of Park Byungmin aka Mothfly is instilled with an undercurrent of chaotic potential “made chill.” By fusing his love for the humor of American cartoons such as South Park and the Simpsons with contemporary Korean culture, Mothfly lets his mind roam when he creates, and often covers some pretty bizarre expanses in the process. Through each disparate character or situation he creates, no matter how outlandish, a portrait of the artist can be revealed, an artist who grew up in Garibong-dong in Seoul sipping on cheap Jangsu Makgeolli liquor and doing graffiti. A former “cryptocoin addict,” Mothfly is a natural taker to the Web3 community and is passionate about creating works that can move people on a deep emotional level across borders, even when there's no explicit message or call to action behind the work. And with new experiments in Web3, he's pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the world of art and storytelling.

As a motion graphics designer and digital artist, Wilson.pairs has contributed to music videos and broadcast OAP motion graphics, and is currently focused on animation, a passion that began in childhood. Inspired by the movie Cast Away, Wilson.pairs imagined that the character Wilson, who vanished into the sea, might still be alive somewhere. This idea evolved into a body of work exploring the theme of isolation, reflecting on how the image of Wilson alone on an island mirrors the experience of modern individuals who have felt socially isolated, particularly in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic.
