188 Korean Writers strike back at President Lee Myung-bak

Over the past months, President Lee Myung-bak’s administration has been purging the cultural sector of “leftist” leadership, motivated by what some have been calling political careerism and market-oriented populism. Among those dismissed are Kim Yoon-su, director of National Museum of Contemporary Art, Kim Jeong-heon, chairman of the Arts Council Korea (ARKO), and Hwang Ji-woo, president of the Korea National University of Arts (KNUA).

As a response, 188 Korean authors signed a petition on June 9th, formally censuring President Lee’s administration. This is part of an ongoing trend in South Korea, where professors, religious leaders and artists are making their own “state of the nation” addresses.

Regarding the ARKO & KNUA restructuring, the authors wrote,

한국문화예술위원회, 한국예술종합학교 사태는 이 정부가 시대착오적인 색깔론과 천박한 관료주의로 문화예술의 토대를 위협하고 있음을 극명하게 보여주었다. 전직 대통령을 겨냥한 사상 최악의 표적수사와 비열한 여론몰이는 그를 벼랑에서 투신하게 하였다. 민주주의의 가치는 매장되었다.

ARKO & KNUA debacle has clearly shown us how the very foundation of this country’s art and culture is being endangered by the administration’s anachronistic political logic and half-baked bureaucracy. The worst politically targeted investigation of an ex-President in our history drove him to throw himself off a cliff. The value of democracy has been buried.

이 모든 일에 적극 가담한 정치검찰과 수구언론을 우리는 민주주의의 조종(弔鐘)을 울린 종지기들로 고발한다. 살아있는 권력에는 굴종하고 죽은 권력에는 군림하면서 영혼을 팔고 정의를 내던진 정치검찰들, 증오와 저주의 저널리즘으로 민주화의 역사를 모독하고 민주주의의 가치들을 조롱하는 수구언론에 우리는 분노한다.

We accuse these politically-motivated & conspiratory prosecutors and the conservative media for ringing the funeral bells of our democracy. We are outraged by the prosecutors who kneel before those in office, rule over those no longer in power, prosecutors who have sold their souls and discarded any sense of justice. We are outraged by the conservative media that insult our history of democratization and make a mockery of democratic values with their malicious journalism.

Stumble it!
