[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Allegations have been raised that Kim Gun-hee, wife of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, falsely promoted her exhibition history.

Kim Eui-gyeom, a member of the Open Democratic Party, announced on the 22nd that he confirmed that ‘The Art of Cartier’ exhibition, which Kobana Contents, where Kim is the representative, promotes as their ‘first exhibition planning,’ is actually unrelated to both Kobana Contents and Kim herself.

Rep. Kim stated, "Kobana Contents boldly introduces the ‘The Art of Cartier’ exhibition, which was held at Deoksugung Museum (Exhibition Rooms 1, 2, 3, and 4) from April 22 to July 13, 2008, for 83 days and was visited by about 37,000 visitors, as part of their portfolio on their website."

However, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, which hosted the ‘The Art of Cartier’ exhibition, told Rep. Kim’s office, "The ‘The Art of Cartier’ exhibition was co-hosted by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and Cartier, and our museum has never conducted any business related to this exhibition with Kobana Contents or James and David Entertainment," categorically stating this.

They also stated, "Regarding the mention of this exhibition history on Kobana Contents’ website or in promotional articles, the Modern Art Museum has repeatedly requested Kobana Contents to delete the exhibition history several times over the past 3 to 4 years." It is also reported that Kobana Contents briefly removed the ‘The Art of Cartier’ exhibition history immediately after such requests but later reinstated it.

Rep. Kim said, "Kim Gun-hee and Kobana Contents even appropriated a large-scale exhibition hosted by a national institution and transformed it into their own exhibition curating portfolio, ignoring requests to remove the false history. Kim Gun-hee plagiarized patents developed by others and programs developed with national support to write her doctoral thesis, and now she has falsely appropriated and publicly promoted exhibition histories that supposedly demonstrate her expertise and abilities."

He continued, "It is impossible to know what is genuine in Kim Gun-hee’s life. If Kim Gun-hee and Kobana Contents used fake exhibition histories during the process of receiving sponsorship or venue rental for exhibitions, this would be tantamount to a criminal act, and we will thoroughly investigate the related matters."
