The local media outlet, Cine 21, reported Wednesday that newly-appointed KOFIC secretary general Kim Jung-seok spent taxpayers money at night clubs, escort clubs and massage parlors while serving as secretary general of the Jeonbuk Independent Film Association in 2005.
Independent filmmakers condemned KOFIC for turning a blind eye to such accusations, pressuring the organization to reconsider appointing the controversial figure to the post.
