The exhibition, titled "Junji Ito Horror House," runs from June 15 to Sept. 8 at Duex in Hongdae, a popular youth hotspot in Seoul.
Ito’s horror manga works have captivated readers globally. Many of his stories have been adapted into films and animations, including the anime "Junji Ito Maniac," released on Netflix last year.
The exhibition aims to have visitors experience the horror and bizarreness of Ito's works firsthand through spaces inspired by his stories. It also displays his original cartoon and animation works, as well as an interview with the artist.
