[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] On the 13th, Yoon Mee-hyang, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, shared a photo containing portraits of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk and the late Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon on her social networking service (SNS).


On the same day, Yoon posted six photos on her Facebook page featuring portraits of the late Roh Hoe-chan, former Justice Party lawmaker, former Minister Cho, and former Mayor Park. All the portraits are works by artist Kim Jong-do, who recently held his third solo exhibition titled "BLACK FRAME."


Yoon also shared a text explaining the purpose of the exhibition. The introduction to the exhibition states, "People trapped within the frame become targets, with their entire families stripped bare and sometimes losing their lives," and "Through the portraits, artist Kim Jong-do depicts the colossal power that created the frame and the invisible, lamentable world."

Earlier, on the 2nd, Yoon encouraged early voting for the Seoul mayoral by-election, saying, "Looking back over the past 10 years, it was truly good that Seoul Plaza returned to the citizens," and "We cannot go back to the past."


At that time, she said, "It was really good to feel that the citizens are the owners," and "During the candlelight rallies and the Sewol ferry protests, the government was on the side of the citizens, allowing peace to be guaranteed and citizens to feel protected," positively evaluating the period when former Mayor Park was in office.


Meanwhile, Yoon is currently under prosecution by the prosecution on charges of fraud, embezzlement in the course of duty, neglect of duty, misappropriation of funds, and other crimes during her tenure as chairperson of the Justice and Memory Foundation, which supports victims of Japanese military sexual slavery.
