Actor Kang Hoon Lends His Voice to National Museum of Korea's 'Vienna 1900' Exhibition

Actor Kang Hoon, set to return to the popular SBS variety show 'Running Man,' has participated in the audio guide for the National Museum of Korea's special exhibition 'Vienna 1900, Dreaming Artists - From Gustav Klimt to Egon Schiele.'

This exhibition highlights the art and culture of Vienna in the 1900s, a period marked by innovative changes as artists from various fields such as art, music, design, and architecture exchanged ideas. Visitors can explore 191 pieces, including paintings, photographs, sculptures, crafts, and furniture, from the Leopold Museum's collection.

Kang Hoon, with his calm yet clear voice, introduces the diverse works of young artists like Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. He expressed his excitement, saying, "I am delighted to participate in the audio guide for this special exhibition that sheds light on Vienna in 1900. It's an honor to introduce the masterpieces of great artists with my voice. Being part of this as an ambassador for the National Museum of Korea makes it an even more meaningful experience."

Since March 2023, Kang Hoon has been serving as an ambassador for the National Museum of Korea. His contributions include the audio guide for 'Vienna 1900, Dreaming Artists,' as well as for 'The Master's Gaze: Masterpieces from the National Gallery, London' and appearances in the broadcast of '600 Years of Habsburg, Fascinating Masterpieces.' These efforts support the promotion of the National Museum of Korea.

The 'Vienna 1900, Dreaming Artists - From Gustav Klimt to Egon Schiele' exhibition, featuring Kang Hoon's audio guide, will run until March 3, 2025.
