Jun-Yong Moon again refutes “My work was recognized even before he was the son of the President

President Moon Jae-in’s son, Moon Joon-yong, again refuted the controversy over the controversy after receiving a subsidy of 14 million won from the Seoul Metropolitan Government for culture and artists suffering from the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

In an article posted on Facebook on the afternoon of the 22nd, Moon, who is working as a media art writer, refuted the criticism of the politics, saying, “It is a refutation of the claim that the president’s son received the corona subsidy that small artists should receive.”

First of all, he said, “The subsidy for micro-artists was being announced separately,” and then “My exhibition was canceled due to the corona, and as a result, the gallery, curator, engineer, and people I had contracted with were damaged. They all suffered. “You’re talking about micro-artists.”

He said, “I received the Corona subsidy to produce works/exhibitions, and the fee was paid to those micro-artists whom I canceled the contract with. When applying for the subsidy, I made a plan like this, and the money was already given to micro-artists.” “It works this way, so it doesn’t matter whether I get the grant or someone who lives better than me.

He also warned, “My work has been recognized since before, even if it wasn’t the president’s son,” he warned, “Do not let politicians carelessly take small artists.”

Even on the 21st of the controversy, Moon said, “The 14 million won of corona support is not money given to the artist, but the money the artist uses for exhibition/artwork”, and “We opened an exhibition to sell even one piece in tears of blood. , And the quarantine guidelines were followed”.

Earlier, it was found that Moon received 14 million won by applying for the’Corona 19 Damage Emergency Art Support Fund’ from the Seoul Cultural Foundation under the Seoul Metropolitan Government for the exhibition held on the 17th and 23rd. There were 281 teams in the field of visual arts that Mr. Moon applied for, and 46 teams including Moon received the support fund. The maximum application fee is 14 million won. In addition, it is reported that Moon received 30 million won from the Paradise Cultural Foundation last May.
