It was revealed that during the Moon Jae-in administration, an organization under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism provided government funding to organizations under the Chongryon for four years. Chongryon has been confirmed as an ‘anti-state organization’ by the Supreme Court of Korea, and if you come into contact with Chongryon, you must report the contact in advance through the Ministry of Unification. However, it appears that no contact reports have been received in this regard. Everything from the contact process to the provision of support is problematic.
According to the office of People Power Party lawmaker Bae Hyun-jin on the 9th, the Korean Culture and Arts Committee under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will hold a cultural festival in Busan for four years (2019-2022) with the participation of the ‘Fukuoka Korean Song and Dance Troupe’ under the Korean Chongryon, and will spend a total of 121.5 million won. I applied. The Fukuoka Joseon Song and Dance Troupe, formed in 1966, is an affiliated organization introduced on the Chongryon official website, and is usually known in Japan as ‘My country is the best!’ Events such as ‘Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Talk Show’ are held.
As part of the project to support inter-Korean cultural and artistic exchanges, the Arts and Culture Committee starts with ‘Let’s Get Together Concert Tong (統), Japan (一) I Like Chosun School in Busan’ in 2019 and continues every year until ‘One Korea (Corea) Cypher Busan’ in 2022. Supported Chongryon’s performance. In the application for grant support submitted to the Arts and Culture Commission, there is an introduction that says, ‘The Fukuoka Joseon Song and Dance Troupe is an art troupe that has inherited North Korea’s national art.’ However, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism showed that it is not even able to properly understand the current situation by answering the question, “Do you have any records of support for subversive or anti-state organizations?” by replying “Not applicable.” The inter-Korean cultural and artistic exchange support project has not been budgeted starting this year due to the deterioration of inter-Korean relations.
Rep. Bae Hyun-jin said, “During the Moon Jae-in administration, when the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism supported even anti-state organizations with our people’s taxes, our cultural community suffered seriously enough to be driven to the brink of collapse due to the coronavirus crisis, etc.” “Not being able to properly understand the current situation is also a serious problem,” he said.
