In 2002, her first radical social intervention, sex education for finding face in the 21st century would become emblematic of the artist’s creative practice. Motivated to expose the lack of access to sex education in South Korea, resulting in teen pregnancy and shame, RHEE investigated the notion of “losing face” by publicly exposing herself as a pregnant high school student. In an effort to push the boundaries of physical exertion, she persisted in a maniacal laugh for one hour on a crowded Seoul street.  Disrupted by the Seoul police who deem she was crazy, she was dragged away while curious spectators looked on.
