now fall the Lego fans out there and
let's face it who isn't a fan of Lego
so is hosting event is called brick
Korea convention 2019 and it's the
largest Lego art convention in South
Korea and hundreds of masterpieces made

about to do battle over a huge fortress
there's also a replica of the UNESCO
World Heritage Site rugosa temple from
the Korean Shilla Kingdom made from 60
1200 Lego blocks nearby a cat is lying
down and sleeping soundly on a radiator
this piece is especially notable created
by wani Kim one of the two professional
Lego artists in South Korea who has been
officially approved by the LEGO Group
these are no ordinary Lego builds but
the 2019 brick Korea convention is an
event for all ages artists from around
the country have used the plastic blocks
to build characters robots jets ships
trains buildings and even cities it's
great that I can display my thoughts in
the form of Lego art because this year
marks the 100th anniversary of Korea's
March first independence movement
against Japanese colonial rule there are
pieces commemorating that historic event
as well
artists also made a LEGO version of the
so-called comfort women statue which
represents the Korean women who are
forcibly taken by the Japanese military
during the World War two to serve as sex
slaves Lego artists in South Korea are
highly skilled but do not have many
platforms through its to show their work
our company is very proud that we can
support leg artists and will continue to
support their work in the future the
convention runs until January 5th with
more than 320 Lego works on display on
