Art exhibition in Daegu shut down over satire of ex-President Yoon

An art exhibition in Daegu, South Korea, was shut down after featuring works by artist Hong Sung-dam that satirize former President Yoon Suk Yeol. The exhibition, titled "Art for the Future: Daegu, Art, Answer the Zeitgeist," was held at the district-run Bongsan Cultural Center and organized by the Daekyung Art Research Institute. Three paintings—"Donghak-uiguk," "Ddong-gwang," and "Pal-gwang"—depicted Yoon in provocative contexts, including nudity and references to political controversies such as the doctors' strike and his wife Kim Keon Hee. On the first day, the center requested removal of the works; after the institute refused, the center required artists to sign a liability pledge. Ultimately, Ryu Kyu Ha, head of Daegu's Jung-gu District Office, ordered the exhibition hall closed, citing regulations against political works. Two other galleries remain open with about 50 works by 19 artists.
