Singer Dun revealed that he purchased a craftsman's work designated as a national intangible heritage from a second-hand trading site.

On the 13th, a video titled "My Dun, My Home Tour" was released on Dun's YouTube channel.

On this day, Dun revealed his home for the first time. His house, decorated in a white tone, is adorned with beautiful artworks everywhere, catching the eye.

Dun explained, "I wanted a harmonious blend of Western interior and Eastern feel. I will show you my favorite furniture and objects."

He also introduced a large fan hanging on the wall, saying, "I can say this is the most cherished item I own. It is a work by Master Lee Kwang-gu, a master of Korea's intangible cultural heritage. It is a peacock fan."

He continued, "How I came to buy it was that I wanted to hang a craft rather than a painting on the wall, and while searching, I found it on a second-hand trading site. The seller didn't know it was a work by Lee Kwang-gu. It is right that someone who knows its value should have it, so I bought it and am keeping it well."

He added, "It is one of my favorite objects. You can see that it is all handmade, and the details are incredibly vivid. It is so beautiful," he admired.

Master Lee Kwang-gu is the holder of the 21st intangible cultural heritage of Chungcheongnam-do, 'Seocheon Fan Making,' and is the only one in the country continuing the tradition of peacock fans. Unlike other fans, the peacock fan is a large fan used in the palace to fan the king from behind.
