[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] The Democratic Party of Korea has raised allegations of falsehood regarding the 2010 exhibition 'The Magician of Color, Chagall Exhibition' held by Kim Gun-hee, spouse of Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party. The People Power Party announced legal action, stating, "Since this is a false negative campaign, we will immediately file a criminal complaint."

The Democratic Party's Election Countermeasures Committee's Task Force (TF) on current issues stated in a press release on the morning of the 2nd, "Regarding the 2010 'The Magician of Color, Chagall Exhibition,' the Seoul Museum of Art confirmed that the exhibition was not hosted by Kobana Contents and that there was no contract with Kobana."

The TF further claimed, "This is the fourth confirmed falsehood of 'hosting' among the major exhibitions held by Kim Gun-hee's company Kobana Contents, submitted as a written response during Yoon Seok-yeol's (former Prosecutor General in 2019) confirmation hearing, following Cartier, Van Gogh, and Andy Warhol exhibitions."

Kim Seung-won, head of the TF and member of the National Assembly, said, "We confirmed the official response from the institution where the actual exhibition was held regarding whether Kobana Contents hosted, organized, or invested in the production of the exhibition." He criticized, "Nevertheless, the People Power Party is ignoring authoritative responses, insisting that since the company name appears on posters, pamphlets, and admission tickets, it means they invested in production and hosted the exhibition, showing a stubborn attitude."

Kim added, "After false academic credentials, career, and award histories, now even false exhibition records?how long will they continue to protect Kim, a master of extreme falsehoods?" He criticized, "I hope that even now, Kim will reissue her hollow apology from the false credentials controversy, saying, 'I exaggerated my career to look good and made mistakes. I shouldn't have done that, and looking back, it is very shameful.'"

In response, the People Power Party's Election Headquarters immediately rebutted, calling it a "false negative campaign." The headquarters explained in a statement, "'Chagall Exhibition' was an exhibition where Kobana Contents entered as a production investor by signing an agreement with Hankook Ilbo," and released the exhibition poster, stating, "There is no case where a company name is simply included in a pamphlet without involvement in production or investment."

The headquarters pointed out, "The Democratic Party only inquired with the Seoul Museum of Art, a co-host, about whether there was a contract with Kobana Contents," and criticized, "They did not even inquire with Hankook Ilbo, another co-host, and recklessly called it a false record. Where does such a thing happen?"

They added, "The Democratic Party distributed a false negative press release without even checking pamphlet photos available on the internet. They should be ashamed as a public party," sharply criticizing.
