Yeo Dong-heon’s Welcome to Paradise at the Korean Folk Village

Painter Yeo Dong-heon’s special exhibition Welcome to Paradise runs through December 6 in the World Folk Museum’s special exhibition room at Korean Folk Village in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. Among the 16 works is the 2023 painting Pink Paradise - 시집가는 날 2, in which a wedding procession crosses a field of pink.

Pink Paradise - 시집가는 날 2

In the published image, a wedding procession moves out from a palanquin near the center. A passage opens between dense pink patterns, followed by clothed, animal-faced figures and long curving ribbons.

The painting is not a record of an actual wedding but an imagined scene that rearranges familiar traditional motifs.

Sixteen works in three sections

The organizer divides the 16 works into three sections, Voyage, Parade and Paradise, moving from imaginary journeys through cities and festivities toward images of Korean tradition and home.

Visitor information

The exhibition runs October 3–December 6, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Viewing is free, but Korean Folk Village admission is separate. Standard full-day weekend admission is ₩39,000 for adults and ₩32,000 for children; age categories and discounts are on the official fare table.
