It wasn\u2019t until she was noticed overseas, after her work went viral in 2016, that people started paying attention back home, she added. \u201cWhat they appreciate was I got attention from American press,\u201d said Yoon. \u201cNot only me, but a lot of Korean artists or singers. If they get attention from abroad, then Koreans appreciate it.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Yoon says she never manipulates her images in post-production. It\u2019s just her, a mirror, a camera and body paint, for between three and 12 hours per shoot. This lengthy process is one reason why she ceased using models for her work \u2014 she didn\u2019t want to take up so much of another person\u2019s time.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agencies &#8211; Sudan Events\u00a0 When Dain Yoon started painting on her own skin to create surreal self-portraits, people in South Korea looked at her like a \u201cdokkaebi,\u201d a kind of Korean goblin, she said.
