South Korea artists sue government over supposed blacklist

Several South Korean artists have launched a joint lawsuit seeking compensation for what they claim to be illegal monitoring and denial of funding by the government because of their political views. They want $400,000 – a figure which they say will rise as more details emerge from a criminal investigation into a supposed “blacklist”.

The allegations also involved the impeached President Park Geun-hye.

This is why one you gotta love South Korea. They held their leaders accountable. No wonder it is progressing at amazing speed.
