There is a statue in the National Assembly, General Yi Sun-shin, who is not the most respected figure of Korean people. But it is hardship. Admiral Yi Sun-sin said he was holding a Japanese sword and changed a new one. The painter who came up with the pro-Japanese personality dictionary corrected his face. The works of pro-Japanese controversial artists are used, including King Sejong the Great, Sinsaimdang, and even Dr. Yoon Bong-gil, who fought against Japanese imperialism. And the descendants are also collecting fees from the government.

From where and how twisted, reporter Jung Hye-kyung.

The statue of Admiral Yi Sun-shin was replaced with a sword held by his hand after a controversy over Japanese swords. I fixed it for 550 million won, but this time the general face is controversial.

Admiral Yi Sun-shin's face in the National Assembly statue also appears on this 100-won coin.

All of them were painted by painter Jang Woo-sung, and the Korean government designated them as national standards. It is also used in textbooks and souvenirs.

However, Jang Paik was listed in a pro-Japanese personal dictionary that made works encouraging the enlistment of the Japanese Imperial Army during the end of Japan.

Not only General Yi. Great figures in 5,000 won, 10,000 won, and 50,000 won bills are pro-Japanese artists.

Out of 99 government-designated standard scores, 14 works by artists whose pro-Japanese activities were problematic.

During the Park Geun-hye administration, there was an opportunity to reconsider the standard administration, but at the time, the Ministry of Culture refused to reconsider the lack of legal grounds.

[Hyemun / Cultural Relocation Movement]: The fact that the testimony and correct evaluation of (Hyun-hyun Yeong-jung) is smeared by power and closeness reflects the distorted view of modern Korea, so that correcting these things will be corrected. Go.]

In the meantime, the number of works using pro-Japanese standard spirits has increased, and royalties continue to pay royalties.

In fact, the Bank of Korea paid 12 million won to painters' descendants in exchange for using the 50,000-won shrine's permanence.

[Bank official: We didn't use the picture arbitrarily, but it was designated as the standard picture since the 1970s… .]

Last year, legislation was proposed to revoke the pro-Japanese standard administration, and recently, Yi Sun-sin's descendants have even petitioned the Blue House.

Now is the time for the government to find a solution.
