Artist

QueenKong555

QueenKong555, also known by her Korean name Hyeju Kong, is a artist who hails from Korea. Her artistic journey commenced in 2012, marked by her significant achievement of winning a top award at an art competition. This victory kick-started her vibrant career, leading to her active participation in a variety of art projects and exhibitions across the globe, including in Korea, the United States, Switzerland, Germany, Hong Kong, France, and Singapore. In 2018, Vivienne took a new step in her journey by relocating to California, where she furthered her academic pursuits. In 2023, she graduated with a master's degree in Gerontology from the University of Southern California (USC), showcasing her dedication to lifelong learning and growth.

During her Gerontology studies, Hyeju Kong delved into the social transformations and challenges brought about by the swiftly evolving demographic dynamics, particularly the implications of an aging society. This period of academic inquiry led her to a profound realization: artistic engagement could serve as a pivotal solution to the myriad issues stemming from societal aging. She envisions the involvement of older adults in artistic endeavors as a catalyst for invigorating their lives, fostering a deeper comprehension across all age groups about the shifts in family structures due to aging, and promoting active participation of the elderly in societal roles. Such engagement, she believes, will offer substantial mental and physical benefits, enhancing the well-being and social integration of the aging population.
