[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 6th, when the Democratic Party of Korea raised suspicions that the exhibition history of Cobana Contents, an exhibition planning company operated by Kim Gun-hee, spouse of Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, was falsely written, the People Power Party responded by calling it a "clear lie" and said, "Repeated negativity is an insult to the people."


The Democratic Party's campaign headquarters' Task Force (TF) for current issues released a press statement that day, stating that after confirming with the Seoul Museum of Art regarding the "Gauguin and Beyond Exhibition (Gauguin Exhibition)" held in 2013, "It was confirmed that the Gauguin Exhibition was not hosted or organized by Cobana Contents."


The TF conveyed, "The Seoul Museum of Art responded that there was no contract with the company Cobana Contents regarding the Gauguin Exhibition."


During the 2019 confirmation hearing for Yoon Seok-yeol, then a candidate for Prosecutor General, the Gauguin Exhibition was listed as one of Cobana Contents' 'major exhibition hosting records,' but this was not true.

However, the People Power Party rebutted by presenting pamphlets and posters from that time, stating, "Cobana Contents produced and invested in the Gauguin Exhibition."


The spokesperson office of the People Power Party's election campaign headquarters stated, "There are various ways to participate in an exhibition, such as hosting, organizing, producing, and investing," and "These facts are specified in pamphlets, posters, and admission tickets."



They added, "They will bear increased responsibility for continuing the same method of false negativity without verifying the disclosed materials."
