RUN! RUN! AGAIN
At this time when everyone is exhausted and difficult due to the corona, I shout out to the author himself, Wonder Women of this era, male heroes, and all of you who love and respect. Let's get over this situation and get up again and run vigorously to regain the little happiness of everyday life. RUN RUN AGAIN!

Wonder Woman Diary_Life is Rosy
It depicts self-portraits and episodes of life of modern women living in fierce contemporary life as'Wonder Woman' characters. Wonder Woman is a longing hero summoned by a timid and tender self, but Wonder Woman in the work is not a hero, but ordinary women today. I am also a friend, mother, sister, lover, and wife who live this life with all my heart. I am working honestly and cheerfully about Wonder Woman who wants to dance, run, and dream.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

WONDER'S 'SHOW YOURSELF' STORY


CHOI, KYUNG HEE

STORY 1
When I first heard this song in Frozen 2, My heart resonated all over my body like a thumping, pounding drum....

STORY 2
'Show Yourself' is a song about Elsa's journey to find her true self. While listening to this song, I met the feeling of completing the last 4th Wonder Woman Choi Kyung-hee from the self-portrait series that came out of the self-exploration process a few years ago during the graduate self-analysis class, and the excitement of the unknown beat of the drums in my heart.

『Wonder Choi Kyung-hee,
Show me yourself!!
Step into the power!!
Throw yourself!!
Into something new!!! 』

STORY 3
I thought that the desire for work had disappeared as ash because even the embers had gone out. However, for a long time, the small beat that rang out of the gap for a short time left alone in a fierce life became a loud drum sound that could not be stopped. 'You can do it!! Show me your true self!!!' 』 It was a hot and serious message of the true self.
