According to the Gwangju Southern Police and Nam-gu on the 3rd, Yoon Young-bo, known as a conservative Christian evangelist, damaged the bust of Jeong Yul-seong on the night of the 1st in Yangnim-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju.

It is reported that Yoon damaged the bust by tying a rope around its neck and connecting it to a vehicle to drag it.

During the police investigation, Yoon admitted to the charges and said, "I demanded that Gwangju City withdraw the Jeong Yul-seong memorial project, but when it was not accepted, I had no choice but to remove it this way," adding, "Those who put the statue back up should be prepared."

Currently, the bust has fallen over, leaving only the pedestal, and the upper part has been covered to prevent it from looking unsightly.

Nam-gu, Gwangju, which is responsible for managing the Jeong Yul-seong bust, plans to file a complaint with the Southern Police after learning of this fact and discuss follow-up measures such as restoring the bust.
