G-Dragon, BTS, Stray Kids & aespa Unite! 48 K-Pop Artists Come Together for ‘D’FESTA THE ORIGIN’ — TeeKast

K-pop fans have a new reason to get excited! D’FESTA THE ORIGIN brings together 48 artists from nine major K-pop groups for a large-scale exhibition celebrating the creativity, individuality and artistic journeys of K-pop stars.

The exhibition features G-Dragon, BTS, Stray Kids, TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), aespa, ENHYPEN, IVE, RIIZE and CORTIS. Developed over approximately four months of filming, the project used more than 30 large-scale sets to capture the artists in new and distinctive ways.

The exhibition opened on October 23, 2026, at the MPX Gallery on level L3 of IFC Mall in Yeouido, Seoul, and is scheduled to run until November 30.

🎨 Beyond Music: K-Pop Meets Art

Rather than focusing only on music and performances, D’FESTA THE ORIGIN explores K-pop through photography, video, fashion and fine art.

Visitors can discover several themed sections, including:

THE NINEFOLD: Nine groups presented through 18 stories highlighting their different identities.
HUES OF BLACK: Large-scale black-and-white portraits that focus on the artists’ expressions and individual styles.
KANON NO. 48: A collaborative large-scale artwork featuring all 48 artists.
THE SQUEEZE: Drawings created by the artists themselves.
LETTERS: Handwritten letters and video messages addressed to fans.
THE ENCOUNTER: An interactive experience designed to bring visitors closer to the artists.

Together, these displays aim to reveal sides of the performers that fans may not usually see on stage.

💌 A Special Experience for Fans

The exhibition also offers interactive content and commemorative experiences, allowing visitors to engage with the artists’ images and voices in new ways. For fans, the combination of personal messages, original drawings and large-scale visual displays offers more than a conventional photo exhibition.

With artists from different generations and groups represented in one project, D’FESTA THE ORIGIN celebrates the range of styles and personalities that shape today’s K-pop scene.

🌏 Seoul First, Then Tokyo

Following its Seoul run, the exhibition is scheduled to begin an international tour in Tokyo in January 2027, with additional major cities expected to follow.

The project reflects the continuing international reach of K-pop, bringing music, fashion, photography and interactive art together in one experience. Further details about future locations and ticket reservations are available through the official ticketing platform.
