Headline: Goo Hye Sun opens Gallery "Manolin" for the new artists

'팔방미인' 구혜선이 갤러리를 오픈해 눈길을 끈다.
All-around-beautiful Goo Hye Sun has opened a gallery and is attracting attention.

구혜선은 최근 서울 방배동 서래마을에 갤러리 '마놀린'을 열고 자신의 작품을 전시해 대중과 소통하고 있다.
GHS has recently opened her Gallery Manolin in Seoul, Bang Bae Dong, Suh Rae Village (Mah Eul) and is currently exhibiting her art works and she herself is greeting/communicating with the public at this time.

구혜선 소속사 관계자는 13일 "구혜선이 보다 많은 대중과 소통하고자 갤러리 '마놀린'을 오픈하게 됐다"고 밝히며 "현재 '마놀린'에는 구혜선이 직접 작업한 작품이 전시되어 있다"고 말했다.
GHS's agency reported on the 13th that, "In order to truly communicate with even more people, GHS has opened Gallery Manolin and is showing her own art work at this time."

더불어 구혜선은 전시의 기회가 어려운 신예작자들과 무명작가들을 최저비용 내지 무료로 '마놀린'을 대관할 계획이다.
In addition, GHS wants to provide the opportunity for the economically disadvantaged, new and unknown artists to showcase their work through Gallery Manolin either free of charge or with a minimum fee.

구 혜선은 단편영화 '유쾌한 도우미'를 연출하며 영화감독으로 인정받았으며, 장편 영화 감독에 도전했다. 또한 20대 여성의 사랑을 그린 창작소설 '탱고'를 출간, 소설가로도 성공적인 데뷔를 했다. 그는 또 '탱고'에 삽입된 자신의 일러스트를 모아 전시회를 여는 등 화가로도 호평받았다. 더불어 구혜선은 최근 앨범을 발매, 뮤지션으로도 역량을 과시했다. (This paragraph lists all her accomplishments so far and we all know them already.)

OMG, she continues to make me feel so good and so proud to call myself her ardent fan! She once said in the Literature with Voice program that, "If GHS can do it, anyone can do it!" She must have felt when she spoke her intentionally encouraging words that those words could also bring so much discouragement to many who do not have the suppport to back them up.

Well, wouldn't you know it!!! There is NO shred of hypocrisy or haughtiness in her words now, is there!!! She designed a place to support and further give hope to those artists who really need a chance to make their dream a reality. Bravo, GHS!!!

From susamerica@soompi.com:

Soompies, please visit the blog that mintcar found. It introduces the Manolin Gallery Cafe in Seoul. The first floor is an art gallery and currently exhibiting GHS art. It hopes to show more and different artists' work. It only recently opened its doors to the public. GHS was there to show the place to the blogger and the entire interior was designed by GHS herself!

Right now it serves cofee and tea and dessert but is planning to expand its menu and supposedly the price is right that the blogger wants to return many time more for the taste, beauty and the atmosphere of the place and the art . People in DCinside are saying that the cafe actually may belong to GHS herself and managed by her sister.

The Manolin Cafe Gallery------ it is designed as if GHS cared about every inch and every little nooks and crannies. The blogger also mentioned how warm it felt in there with the afternoon sun peeking in. Even from all the pix, it gives me a feeling of being at a nice and cozy home where you can be just yourself there....

It also feels a little like not only a little girl's doll house (stuffed cat pillows and antique looking miniature furnitures) but also a little boy's play house (leggo pieces, Disney characters and I see an airplane on top of books.) It does not look fancy but simple and down to earth and yet ever so elegant in its own way--like the designer GHS herself.

Maybe she can even have a piano there at a corner somehwere. It kind of reminds me of the artsy Village or SoHo in NYC of USA where many artists and young people gather....and what a wonderful idea to have an art gallery on the first floor----it is a miniature museum with its own cafe upstairs.

From mint car@soompi.com:

When I first saw the pictures of the cafe, I wanted to go there as well! It's quaint and cozy. (We don't really have those kind of cafes where I come from.) The furnitures are mismatching on purpose but surprisingly, they fit together as a whole... and there are toys and books to keep you occupied.
