Lee Myung-bak rat poster incident
The Lee Myung-bak rat poster incident is an incident in Seoul, South Korea, when a university instructor Park Jeong-su (박정수) was indicted by the South Korean authorities for drawing a graffiti of a face of a rat on a promotional poster of the 2010 G-20 Seoul summit. This has caused negative criticisms against the right-wing conservative Lee Myung-bak government for encouraging institutionalized censorship and abuse of authority. Supreme Prosecutors' Office of the Republic of Korea (SPO) was also criticized for being over-supportive of the ''presidential'' Blue House circle of individuals; hence the right wing political policing.
==Background==
There was an incident where a university instructor, Park Jeong-su, vandalized a G-20 promotional poster by drawing a rat before the 2010 G-20 Seoul summit. There was concerns that he was released under the court orders despite the SPO over-pressured his investigation to cater the current ruling party. This is because ''rat'' is the popular nickname of the current President Lee Myung-bak. However, the letter "G" in "G20" is a homophone to "rat" in Korean, as in rat in Korean is pronounced "gee". The Non-governmental organization citizen group called the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy planned to present his incident to the 16th meeting of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. He later argued in his own defense that his rat drawing of the South Korean president has artistic merits. He was later fined. This has caused disputes of whether freedom of speech is legally valid in South Korea.
