			Boom! The world breaks apart with heavy drinking. I was just playing some mischievous pranks, but since you keep calling me "villain", I'd rather open up a different world. Break it down, lift it up, stir it up, and when you're in trouble, poof! How exciting would it be if you moved for a moment? These daring villains gathered together.

Standing triumphantly showing off his muscular body, Jung Soo-jung's villain is a character who unhesitatingly embodies the wish that any painter would have dreamed of - how good it would be if the world could be created as I draw it. The morality and rules of the world are blown away, and the association of free images rises up on its tail, creating a multi-dimensional universe. Only by painting, by painting, is the world for painting.

Painting based on solid drawing captures the audience's eyes once again with the details of an absurd material, with vivid colors, brush strokes, thickly curled up, or on the contrary, with the Matier of paint dripping thinly. There are booby traps in every corner of the canvas, making viewers as busy as villains. The frankness of the villains, who pretend to be serious and not to be profound, sheds the heavy sense of duty of art and leads us to the joy of pure creation and appreciation.
