Moon Jun-yong Wins Award at Japanese Art Festival for "Work That Received Funding"
Emphasizing Sufficient Competitiveness While Indirectly Refuting Past Allegations
Moon Jae-in's son, Jun-yong, personally announced the award news. On the 13th, Jun-yong wrote on Facebook, "I received the Excellence Award at the Japan Media Arts Festival," and added, "I am grateful to everyone who helped me." He further explained that the awarded work was "a piece supported by the Paradise Cultural Foundation." In 2020, Jun-yong received 30 million won through the Paradise Cultural Foundation Art Lab support program. After this fact became known, he was embroiled in controversy over whether he received special treatment because he is the president's son. His direct announcement of the award on this day is interpreted as an attempt to indirectly refute past suspicions by emphasizing the work's sufficient competitiveness.
