“A rare video of Hobi with Paolo Contis sleeping,” said another.

According to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the “Mask II” is Mueck’s self-portrait which “demonstrates the subtle play of realities that characterize [his] work.”

Other K-Pop idols who have also taken a photo with the sculpture include Blackpink’s Rosé and Astro’s Cha Eun Woo. -NB, GMA News
