[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] Kim Nam-guk, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized Kwon Sang-do of the People Power Party, saying, "Is your main legislative activity 'Moon Jun-yong stalking'?"


On the afternoon of the 14th, Kim posted on Facebook, "Kwon repeatedly raises suspicions about Moon Jun-yong as if there is something significant," adding, "But if you look into it a little, most of the claims are baseless and groundless. He throws them out every time in an 'if not, then forget it' manner."


He continued, "A few times I checked to see if there really was a problem, but now when I hear Kwon Sang-do's claims, I just filter them out without believing," adding, "His claims are not even worth debating."


He also said, "I wonder how serious it must have been for the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture to strongly refute Kwon Sang-do's claims as not even worth responding to."


Kim said, "The National Assembly has a lot to do. Many citizens, including self-employed and small business owners, are desperately expressing their difficulties due to COVID-19. We urgently need to pass livelihood bills to overcome the economic crisis caused by COVID-19 at this extraordinary session of the National Assembly."


He criticized, "This is not the time to neglect truly important matters and only cling to 'Moon Jun-yong stalking.' How shameful would it be if a member of the National Assembly, who receives taxpayers' money, spends their time on 'Moon Jun-yong stalking'?"


Finally, he urged, "I hope Kwon Sang-do will no longer ignore the truth and offer a sincere apology. I hope he fulfills his duties as a human being."


Earlier, on the 13th, Kwon claimed on Facebook that Moon Jun-yong, a media art artist and son of President Moon Jae-in, received special favors in the emergency art support project for COVID-19 victims. In response, the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture strongly refuted the claim, saying it was not true and not even worth responding to.



Additionally, on the 9th, Kwon raised suspicions that Moon received 14 million won in emergency art support funds for COVID-19 victims last year by writing only four lines in the "damage confirmation letter" and was selected as a beneficiary. Moon rebutted, saying, "The application was about 20 pages long," and "Kwon and others selectively extracted only the damage facts and misused them as grounds for lies." The foundation also explained, "Separate content that does not affect the evaluation was not announced because it was unnecessary," and "Damage facts are not included in the evaluation criteria that decide support eligibility, so unnecessary content is not disclosed."
