[Asia Economy Culture Young Intern Reporter] Moon Jun-yong, a media artist and son of former President Moon Jae-in, has attracted attention by sharing a surprise update.

On the 14th, Moon Jun-yong posted on his Facebook along with a photo, saying, "Preparing for an exhibition in Japan." Judging from the released photo, it appears that Jun-yong will participate in the 25th Japan Media Art Festival to be held this time.

In the post, netizens presumed to be Jun-yong's supporters left comments such as "Congratulations," "Stay strong. We support you," "You are awesome," and "Artist Moon, we wish your exhibition great success!"

Recently, Jun-yong mentioned a legal ruling related to a wanted poster that had been issued for him through his Facebook. He warned, "The problem with this case is that this level of contempt and ridicule was taken lightly," adding, "There is also a court ruling that the wanted poster for me constitutes defamation and infringement of personality rights. Please be careful."

At the time, Jun-yong said, "Contempt and ridicule have been incited and are still widely spread. It seems to be considered freedom of expression," and added, "Now it has spread even to individuals, reaching remote rural areas. Meanwhile, we all become indifferent and collectively more vicious. It is taken lightly." This appeared to be a remark targeting far-right civic groups active around former President Moon’s private residence in Pyeongsan Village, Yangsan, Gyeongnam.

In response, lawyer Jeong Jun-gil (former spokesperson for the Liberty Korea Party Central Election Committee), who is continuing legal disputes with Jun-yong, strongly rebutted, saying, "The appeal trial is scheduled to proceed, so the trial is currently ongoing, but to say 'be careful' as if the illegal act responsibility has been confirmed by the trial is very inappropriate behavior for a public figure who is the president’s son."

Lawyer Jeong criticized, "I thought he was truly immature and foolish," adding, "Moon Jun-yong claimed 30 million won in damages but only 7 million won was accepted, so the parts he lost were much more, and the core of the trial, the suspicion of special treatment such as Jun-yong’s employment at the Korea Employment Information Service, was dismissed as it was recognized as at least not false."
