A 75-year-old Korean grandfather has put up an exhibition in Costa Rica showcasing his hand drawn works.
Chan Jae Lee, who has accumulated 252,000 and more Instagram followers over the years, has quite the story.
Here's what happened:
According to his son Ji Lee, Chan Jae Lee is a grumpy man.
The Korean grandfather lives in Brazil and he used to ferry his grandchildren (also Ji Lee's nephews) Arthur and Allan to school on a regular basis.
One day, Ji Lee's sister and her family (including Arthur and Allan) moved back to Korea.
Having nothing much to do, the grandfather spent his days watching Korean TV. His family got worried about him.
Remembering that he used to draw for his children when they were younger, Ji Lee encouraged his father to draw again and post his drawings on Instagram.
But Jae Lee hated the idea. The elderly man, who was 73 years old then, had never heard of Instagram, and had never used Gmail, or even Google.
Ji Lee's tech-savvy mother, however, came to the rescue: She took the pictures he drew and posted it on Instagram for him on his behalf.
Ji Lee admits that the first few drawings his father made weren't the best (in less polite terms).
But subsequently, his drawings got better:
Nonetheless, his father still didn't take a liking to drawing for Instagram -- he didn't understand why he had to do it.
Then Ji Lee had a son, Astro.
When his father came to visit Ji Lee and Astro in New York, the young man was determined to teach him how to use Instagram.
But his father, Astro's grandfather, still hated it.
Until one day, Jae Lee wondered what Astro will be when he grows up, because he knows he won't be around to see it.
Ji Lee got sad, not only with the acute realisation of his father's death, but also with the fact that Astro will never get to know his grandfather well.
Then, Ji Lee had an idea: His father could draw for Astro, Arthur, and Allan, and his Instagram would be called "Drawings For My Grandchildren".
Jae Lee agreed.
Suddenly, at 73 years old, the elderly man was eager to draw and use Instagram. It was hard at first, but Ji Lee managed to teach his father how to use the app.
Jae Lee uploaded many poignant drawings of shared memories and future plans with his grandchildren, and even bit and pieces about their daily lives. His wife wrote the captions.
Then, Ji Lee had another idea. He thought his father should hold an exhibition to sell his drawings, which could fund a trip to see his grandchildren back in Korea.
He bought the first drawing Jae Lee made.
From then on, Jae Lee drew everyday. His drawings have also made the family closer.
And just three days ago, Jae Lee had his first exhibition in San José, Costa Rica.
This year, he is 75 and still grumpy.
But this year, Jae Lee also has 252,000 Instagram followers, and more than 500 drawings for his grandchildren.
