The National Assembly Secretariat has removed the political satire works of an art group that were scheduled to be exhibited at the National Assembly starting today (9th).

Among them, there were several works that caricatured President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife.

The organizers strongly objected to this.

Undressed, President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife brandish a large knife at the village, and with a title parodying the movie 'Decision to Break Up', they pinch a private contract with the official residence.



It is a satirical work by artists belonging to the Seoul Federation of National Art Societies, which was scheduled to be exhibited at the National Assembly Members' Hall from today to Friday under the supervision of 12 Democratic Party and independent lawmakers.



Yesterday, the day before the exhibition, the National Assembly Secretariat judged that there was a problem with the content of some of the works, and sent three official letters requesting their voluntary removal.



I heard based on the bylaws of the office that if there is content that slanders others, the use of the lobby is not permitted.



The organizers refused, and the office demolished the works this morning.



The organizers of the exhibition visited Lee Kwang-jae, secretary-general of the National Assembly, to protest.

Secretary-General Lee explained that there was a consensus with Democratic Party lawmakers that it would be better to hold an exhibition after the Itaewon disaster investigation was completed.

I hope it will be a time to listen to a lot of words from family members who are suffering heartbreaking pain.]



People's power went beyond the level of political satire and criticized it as blasphemy against the head of state.



[Park Jeong-ha/Chief Spokesperson for People's Power: I look forward to the appearance of a member of the National Assembly with dignity and courtesy, abandoning propaganda and agitation by using only stimulating elements.] The



artists decided to continue the exhibition in a place other than the National Assembly.
