Museum chief resigns over misattributed work from own collection
You Hong-june, director of the National Museum of Korea, resigned on Wednesday (Oct. 21) after controversy erupted over the museum's display of a misattributed calligraphic work from his private collection. Reports say he offered to resign earlier in the day and then stepped down, with some coverage noting the work was by a pro-Japanese collaborator. Korean media are leading with the resignation as a major culture story, framing it as a fallout over the museum chief's personal collection being exhibited under questionable attribution.
