Artwork in South Korea defaced by Singaporean 'Victor Goh and family': Prank or ignorance?
From Singapore with graffiti?
A tourist from Singapore visited Busan, South Korea, and was dismayed to discover vandalism apparently by another tourist from Singapore.
Stomper Adrian said: "I stumbled across an artwork that was defaced in Gamcheon Culture Village."
He shared photos of the artwork of the moon in a black sky in a museum called House of Peace.
Under the artwork is a bust with a sign next to it that basically said "Don't touch the artwork" in three languages: Korean, English and Chinese.
The artwork by Jeong Hee-wook is in the Moon Room where visitors can leave their messages of peace.
The Stomper's photos show the walls covered with scribbles and doodles surrounding the artwork.
But on the artwork itself, there was only one message. Someone had written on the moon: "Love from Singapore. Victor Goh & Family 27/5/2024."
The Stomper said: "Either Mr Goh is pranking or really ignorant."
There must be many Victor Gohs in Singapore.
But there can only be one Victor Goh from Singapore who was in Busan on May 27.
