Singer CHOI YENA has been selected as the chief promoter for the first major solo exhibition of world-renowned street artist Banksy on the Chinese mainland, titled “Banksy: Everywhere” (local name: Banksy is Nowhere / 无处不在).
According to her agency, CHOI YENA’s role during the exhibition will be to introduce the artworks and their significance to the public, as well as to share key points of interest. The concept of a “chief promoter,” still relatively unfamiliar to the public, is equivalent to serving as an ambassador for the exhibition.
The exhibition is currently being held at the Shenzhen World Cultural & Arts Center (SWCAC) in China and features around 110 pieces, including 34 PCO (Pest Control Office) certified prints, such as “풍선을 든 소녀 (Girl with balloon)”, as well as objects, currency-based works, documents and videos, large-scale street mural installations, and recreations of a studio and graffiti room. The exhibition will run until November 16.
CHOI YENA said:
“Banksy’s work goes beyond art to deliver a sharp message about society and reality. I hope this exhibition allows more visitors to confront the questions his works pose.”
Additionally, CHOI YENA recently released her fourth mini-album, “BLOOMING WINGS”, showcasing the diverse facets of her “Yena-core” style and maintaining an active artistic presence.
She has also demonstrated her influence as a Generation Z icon, serving as the face of mainstream advertisements and streetwear brands, bridging music, fashion, and commercial endorsements.
On September 15 and 17, she will perform in Tokyo and Osaka for “2025 THE YENA SHOW <I’m STAR!>”, delivering unforgettable performances and special events for her local fans.
