문화예술계 블랙리스트 피해 양상 및 후속 조치에 관한 연구(1)- ‘팝업씨어터 사건’

This paper aims to expand the horizon of understanding and empathy for the victims' psychological trauma by recording and analyzing the entire “pop-up theater incident,” which is the most representative example of the blacklist incident in the culture and art field. The “Pop-up Theater Incident” is an incident in which the Culture and Arts Council Korea staff plotted to interfere with the performance of Director Kim Jung's ‘Cet Enfant’ which was performed at the ‘Theater Cafe’ on the first floor of the Daehak-ro Arts Theater on October 17, 2015, and systematically and actively interfered with the performance on October 18, the next day. Director Yoon Hye-sook and Song Jeong-an, who were scheduled to perform next, were asked to submit a script in advance, causing controversy over censorship, and the two directors refusing to perform. Kim Jin-yi, a public interest reporter, was not eventually reinstated to the Arts Council Korea and had to walk the path of a exhausting and lonely struggle while filing a compensation suit against the Korean government. The victims of the pop-up theater did not receive a proper apology from the perpetrators even at the current point more than seven years after the incident.
