There was a case of police dispatching while someone scribbled on an artwork worth 500 million won on display at Lotte World Mall in Seoul.

They said that they were men and women in their twenties who painted over the paintings, but they thought it was a participatory art because there were brushes and paint buckets in front of a large, colorful work.



This is Yoo Soo-hwan.

Men and women pick up a brush placed on the floor and start brushing heavily.

The police and the exhibition hall who were dispatched after receiving a report identified male and female visitors in their twenties who checked CCTVs, etc.



[Kangwook/President of exhibition agency: He said he thought it was okay to experience what is here. It's a prop that works and is exhibited, and it's part of the work... .] The



exhibition hall said that their actions were not intentional and canceled the police report.



Investigation and punishment have been avoided, but it is unclear whether the artist or owner will accept it.



As a result of reviewing whether the work can be restored, the exhibition hall believes that it is possible shortly after being painted.



[Kim Gyeom/Doctor of Art Conservation Research Institute: If the work is carefully done by an expert, it can be restored without any change in value… .] It



was reported that the writer who was contacted said that he would give an answer after discussion.
