Meet Koh’s New Bei Bei!
Warm congratulations to Terence Koh who’s currently en route from China to Gotham with something very special in tow: a newly adopted baby boy named Bei Bei, born in February of this year. The artist took a trip to Beijing to finalize his adoption papers and we truly couldn’t be more excited for the happy Koh duo. Mr. Koh is also planning a bash in New York to toast his newest pride and joy.
