D’FESTA THE ORIGIN: K-Pop Art Exhibition in Seoul (2026)
K-pop fans visiting Seoul this fall will have a new exhibition to add to their plans. D’FESTA THE ORIGIN, a K-pop art exhibition organized by Korean media outlet Dispatch, is scheduled to run from October 23 to November 30, 2026, at MPX GALLERY in Yeouido, Seoul.
Under the tagline “K-POP, Reimagined as Art,” the exhibition brings together 48 K-pop artists and Korean creators, exploring the connections between music, fashion, visual art, and each artist’s distinctive identity. The exhibition will feature photography, video, fine art, spatial design, and interactive elements.
What Is D’FESTA THE ORIGIN?
D’FESTA THE ORIGIN presents K-pop through an art-focused exhibition rather than a conventional concert or fan meeting. Its concept is to offer a different perspective on the artists and the visual worlds associated with them.
According to the exhibition announcement, the project brings together 48 K-pop artists alongside Korean creators. Photography, moving images, artwork, spatial design, and interactive displays form the basis of the exhibition experience.
The event is part of the wider D’FESTA exhibition project associated with Dispatch. However, visitors should check the specific details for THE ORIGIN rather than assume that its exhibits or activities will be identical to those featured at previous D’FESTA events.
