The Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture (CEO Kim Jong-hui) refuted on the 14th that the claim of Kwak Sang-do’s People’s Strength that President Moon Jae-in’s son Jun-yong received preferential treatment in an emergency art support contest for corona damage was not true.
The foundation said, “The suspicion that Congressman Kwak Sang-do is alleging is not true at all, and we believe that it is not worth responding to.
Rep. Kwak said on his Facebook page on the 13th, “It was confirmed that the’Damage Confirmation Form is for reference only’ was not announced during the contest for the support project on April 3 of last year.” If yes, Jun-yong would have been eliminated.”
Regarding the assertion that the Foundation did not separately announce that the’damage confirmation letter is for reference only’, it clarified that “since the damage fact is not included in the deliberation criteria for determining whether to apply, unnecessary information was not announced.”
Then, “When we announced the announcement of’Emergency art support for corona damage’ to artists, the three criteria for deliberation were clearly stated. The criteria for deliberation were △Project plan (appropriateness and feasibility of the project) △Project content (project execution capability and Execution ability) △Business performance (the performance and contribution of the project).
Rep. Kwak Sang-do said, “Mr. Jun-Yong Moon received support from the government budget of 14 million won in the emergency art support project from corona damage.” The first announcement of the project included’within 20 million won per work (within 15 million won in the visual field), a total of around 150 cases’ I decided to apply, but in fact, I applied 3,86 billion won worth to 254 organizations.”
He added, “As the deliberation committee increased the number of applicants (groups), the visual field was selected to 46th place,” he said. “If there were 150 cases as announced in the first place, it would have been selected to 28th place, and then Junyong, 34th place would have been eliminated.” did.
The Foundation clarified that it had already revealed by distributing a press release on April 29 last year that the number of applicants was increased by 10 times the original selection size, so that more artists could receive support.
As of April 20, the deadline for’Corona 19 Damage Urgent Art Support Competition’, 1770 cases were received. By genre, there were 527 plays (including 145 children’s and youth plays), 431 music, and 281 visuals.
In response, the Foundation said, “By re-adjusting the number of projects and budget that were originally planned, we have devised a way to return the benefits of support to more artists.” The number of cases will increase from 500 cases to 330 cases from 330 cases.”
