1. Jaekyung

2. WINNER Song Min Ho

Song Min Ho's artistic talents have already been widely broadcasted, through his variety show 'Journey to the New West' and 'Kang's Kitchen,' where he illustrated his drawing skills by designing the 'Kang's Kitchen' logo and filling the blank canvases there. His signature caricature style usually has a sense of humor and includes inspiration from the street art like graffiti or murals.

3. Red Velvet Seulgi

Red Velvet Seulgi's mixed media drawing skills really show off her artistic sense. This skilled girl group member is never afraid to mix and match drawing techniques and tools, creating more edgier, trendier pieces of work.

4. INFINITE L

5. Girl's Day Yura

Yura's super, super realistic drawings are consistently closer to photographs than drawings.

7. Ock Joo Hyun

Fin.K.L member and now musical actress star, Ock Joo Hyun has fallen in love with ceramics. She says that whenever she has a spare moment, she's always doing pottery because it gives her an outlet to relieve the tension of being an actress and a way to concentrate her energy. Although she has sold some of her pieces, she opts not to make her porcelain for sale but more for herself.

8. Suzy

Not only an actress and singer, Suzy is a painter as well and she definitely has a specific fine arts style to her work. Her artworks are very designer-like and can be abstract as well. She once revealed that she dreamed of being an artist as a child

9. SHINee Key

SHINee's Key had his own two-person exhibition show with architect Kim Dong Hee in 2011. His colorful and eye-catching paintings and drawings are directly influenced by the Pop art generation and current pop culture, his illustrative drawing often including characters like Batman, Dr. Seuss and more.

10. MONSTA X Minhyuk

Starship Entertainment held a special gallery event in 2016 where Minhyuk and Kihyun showed off their artistic capabilities. Minhyuk showed off his artworks which were inspired by graphic design elements. His use of color, text, calligraphy and simple imagery created lovely pieces of work that could be displayed in any setting.
