“Group reporting Hwasa = Monster Parents” Hwasa accused of performing obscenity [Comprehensive]

[OSEN = Reporter Ji Min-kyung] While singer Hwasa was being investigated by the police for indecency during a performance, a pop culture critic criticized the parent group that reported Hwasa as Monster Parents.

On CBS Radio’s ‘Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show’ broadcast on the 11th, a conversation between Shin Min-hyang, representative of the Student and Parent Human Rights Protection Coalition, and popular culture critic Kim Heon-sik was revealed.

First, when asked why he filed a complaint against Hwasa, CEO Shin responded, “I filed a complaint on June 22nd. Hwasa’s actions fall under the category of lewd acts under the charge of public indecency under Article 245 of the Criminal Act. Depending on the case, the barbarian is said to be punished under Article 3, Paragraph 1, Item 33 of the Misdemeanor Punishment Act. “In some ways, it can be said that Hwasa’s actions had a greater negative impact because they were seen by an unspecified number of the public,” he said.

Regarding the response to whether it is an overreaction, he said, “I am aware of the criticism that it is an overreaction. Even if it is a performance, it should be carried out according to the location and person. I think it should not be carried out like a terrorist attack against a large number of people in an unexpected place.”said.

On the other hand, popular culture critic Kim Heon-sik said, “I think this is a case of a kind of monster parent group excessively interfering with artistic freedom,” and added, “One of the behaviors of excessive intervention in everything for the sake of children’s education was found in Hwasa’s case. “I think,” he countered.

He emphasized that it was a college festival targeting college students. He said, “It was a performance with college students participating. “It is true that if there was a problem there, it should be voluntarily pointed out and made public, but it is not appropriate from the perspective of freedom of expression for the police to intervene because a third party, a parent group that was not at the performance venue, filed a complaint.” reported.

He then raised his voice, saying, “This is like breaking into a performance hall with an audience just because they are parents and wanting to protect their children. This is also a case of breaking in with the police.”

He also pointed out, “The responsibility of the social media platform and the person who caused the video to continue to spread should also be mentioned, but I can’t help but think that singling out Hwasa and accusing her without that part was intentional in the first place.”

Previously, Hwasa was embroiled in controversy over her sensationalism due to her unconventional performance on the stage of a festival held at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul last May. At the time, Hwasa was embroiled in controversy for her unconventional performance of sitting with her legs spread during the performance of ‘Don’t Give Me’ and then placing her saliva-covered hand on a specific body part.

Afterwards, the video containing the performance spread through social media, and the Student and Parents’ Human Rights Protection Coalition (Hakyinyon) reported Hwasa on the grounds that her performance caused discomfort to viewers. Afterwards, Seongdong Police Station in Seoul summoned Hwasa as a defendant at the end of last month and asked about the intention and background of the performance.

In relation to this, Hwasa’s agency, P Nation, stated, “It is true that we were investigated by the police, and we conducted it faithfully.”/mk3244@osen.co.kr
