Feb. 9 (UPI) The artist-son of South Korean President Moon Jae-in is coming under criticism for accepting nearly $13,000 in coronavirus relief from the city of Seoul funds that could have been allocated to financially distressed artists and organizations.
Moon Joon-yong, 39, was awarded the art grant in 2020 after exhibitions were reportedly canceled due to COVID-19. Moon s acceptance of the funds despite his position of relative privilege is drawing protest from opposition politicians, the JoongAng Ilbo reported.
