Yuk Jun Seo is a visual artist
According to Marie Clarie, the 28-year-old who primarily focuses on drawing and painting recently showcased his talent with his debut solo exhibition, “Cranium.” Held at the Geumho Albert cultural space in Seoul, the exhibit featured a 12-meter installation exploring the tension between discipline and freedom, as described on his art-centric Instagram account. Judges were quick to recognize him given his popularity in the field.
Former UDT soldier
A former Navy man turned entertainer, Yuk Jun Seo’s journey is anything but ordinary. He began his service as a petty officer in December 2014 and went on to serve in the prestigious Naval Special Warfare Flotilla (UDT/SEAL) from 2016 to 2019.
