Ewha Womans University Western Painting major Roh Yoon-seo shows off skills in front of 13m giant mural

Actress Roh Yoon-seo is capturing attention this time not with her acting, but with her drawing skills. As a graduate of the Western Painting department at Ewha Womans University and considered a representative 'art major unnie' in the entertainment industry, she is taking on the challenge of a massive mural project spanning 13 meters in width. Interest is surging as Roh Yoon-seo, who has not actively revealed her artistic activities in the past, is expected to pick up a brush and fully demonstrate her skills.

In the 10th episode of tvN's 'Fresh Off the Sea 3', which aired at 8:40 PM on the 8th, the new life of the four siblings heading to Yeosu was revealed. On this day, the members took on a bucket list item that Roh Yoon-seo had dreamed of for a long time. It was the task of personally decorating an empty wall in Seongdu Village, Yeosu, to complete it as a large-scale mural. It was a project of a scale that went beyond a simple experience and could change the scenery of the village.

The target of the work was a giant wall reaching 13m in width. Upon checking the size of the wall, Roh Yoon-seo expressed her pressure, saying, "This is my first time doing such a large-scale project." However, once the work began, her background as an art major was revealed. Having even served as the class president during her university years, Roh Yoon-seo is expected to show an extraordinary presence by leading the work together with the four siblings. The key observation point is the process of her maintaining her center and completing the mural even in the face of an unfamiliar large-scale task.

Roh Yoon-seo is an actress who graduated from the Western Painting department of Ewha Womans University, and she has garnered interest not only for her acting but also for her artistic sense. However, her image as an actress is more familiar to the public than her artistic activities. Even when she appeared on the variety program 'Salon Drip 2' in the past, she expressed her affection for drawing. When asked if she continues to draw, she answered honestly, "I should, I should, but I haven't been able to."

Roh Yoon-seo recalled that during the COVID-19 period, she could not go to her studio and drew on the veranda. She later stated that she even prepared a separate drawing room inside her house, but she has not been able to actively continue her artistic activities. Nevertheless, she expressed her affection for drawing by saying, "I want to continue doing it as a hobby." This mural project is expected to serve as an opportunity to once again earnestly face art, which she had postponed in her daily life for a while, through broadcasting.

Recently, as a controversy surrounding actress Oh Ha-young, a graduate of the Western Painting department at Ewha Womans University, arose, Roh Yoon-seo's drawing skills also came into the spotlight again. In the process where Oh Ha-young gained attention due to the controversy regarding her great-grandfather's pro-Japanese activities, her background as an art major and evaluations of her works became a hot topic online, and the name of Roh Yoon-seo, who is from the same department, was mentioned together. However, some pointed out that caution is needed in direct comparisons, as the two may have different work styles and methods of expression, and art is a field where it is difficult to judge skill with simple criteria.

The mural work that Roh Yoon-seo will show in this broadcast is expected to be an opportunity to observe how she actually conceives and expresses drawings, separate from such online comparisons. In the world of art, where one is evaluated through their work, the creative process and method of expression are as important as academic background or major history. In particular, as she must complete a 13m mural together with several people, it is expected that not only her individual drawing skills but also her sense for leading large-scale projects will be revealed.

Will Roh Yoon-seo, who has built a solid filmography as an actress, be able to show her side as an art major this time? Interest is gathering on what kind of results she will create in front of the giant wall in Yeosu, having studied Western Painting during her university years and expressed her desire to continue drawing as a hobby. Attention is focused on whether Roh Yoon-seo, who has stepped away from the familiar acting sets to take on a new challenge with brushes and paints, will convey another charm to viewers.
