Lee Jae Jin has been considered to have a quirky personality, but he’s also known to be quite the artist. This self-taught artist never really took his hobby too seriously, but has lately been aspiring to sell his artwork.

2. Girls Day’s Yura

It’s no secret that Yura is good at drawing. She graduated from a high school that was focused on the arts, so it’s a given that she would be talented. When she revealed some of her drawings on various programs, viewers were blown away by just how well she could draw!

And how can we forget her gift to Hong Jong Hyun when they were both on “We Got Married.” How perfect was it?!

3. Red Velvet’s Seulgi

4. SHINee’s Key

SHINee’s Key is not exactly a realist when it comes to drawing, but his artwork has garnered a lot of attention for being very expressive and artistic. He was able to display some of his artwork at his uncle’s art exhibition several years ago.

He even designed the front cover of SHINee’s album, “The Misconceptions of Us.”

She even draws caricatures! When she appeared on “Happy Together,” she showed the cast members caricatures she drew of all of them.

6. Zico

Zico has mentioned that he enjoys drawing when he can. It’s no surprise because the man is so gifted in all aspects when it comes to art. When he was on the show “Happy Together,” he was able to showcase some of his drawing skills through a game that’s similar to Pictionary.

Out of all the artists on this list, Song Mino is the only one who seems to be really pursuing art beyond just as a hobby. Mino seems to have his hand in various aspects of the arts, as he’s also interested in photography, fashion, and of course, rapping!

Epik High’s Tablo shared this photo that Mino drew of the rappers featured in his song, “Born Hater.” His talent is seriously incredible!

Here’s his “quick” drawing of a rose for BTS fans:

He also drew this (originally an image done by a famous graffiti artist). Isn’t it so cool?!
