President Moon Jae-in’s son Moon Joon-yong said he can accept criticism against the “president’s son,” but cannot accept the denunciation of what he does for a living.
“Since the reason politicians criticize me through mass media is to attack the president of the rival camp, I point out that their intention is lousy,” Moon, 38, wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.
Opposition politicians have questioned the fairness of the city of Seoul’s decision to grant Moon, a media artist, 14 million won ($12,900) as part of its COVID-19 artist support program, and raised conspiracy theories over his solo exhibit held earlier this month despite the spread of COVID-19.
