Original title South Korean media: Blacklist case in South Korea's literary and artistic circles closed and Park Geun-hye became an accomplice again.

South Korean media said that after investigation, it is indeed a fact that Park Geun-hye's government formulated a blacklist in the literary and artistic circles to suppress dissidents. On the 7th, the independent prosecution team of cronies arrested and charged former chief of staff Jin Qichun and former Minister of Culture and Sports Zhao Yunxuan on suspicion of ordering and presiding over the formulation of a "blacklist of the literary and artistic circles." They are likely to once again explicitly refer to Park Geun-hye in the indictment as a criminal suspect in conspiring to implement the anti-gang policy.

According to a report by Yonhap News Agency on February 7, considering that the president's cooperation is still needed to agree on the date of face-to-face interrogation, the investigation into Choi Soon-sil, the protagonist of his cronies, is not yet in place. In order to avoid public opinion, the procuratorate has not disclosed the contents of the indictment yet. Park Geun-hye once complained of injustice in this regard that the media claimed that there were too many people involved in gangs, but she knew nothing about it. Park Geun-hye enjoys the constitutional privilege of "not being sentenced to the current president." Unless she commits civil strife or foreign aggression, as long as she is still in office and has not been dismissed, the procuratorate will have nothing to do even if it determines the specific facts of the crime. The special inspection team also found that the former sports director labeled as a "bad guy" by Park Geun-hye was forced out and resigned after being pushed out by powerful people such as Jin Qichun. Cui Shunshi once complained to the government because he was dissatisfied with his daughter's runner-up in the equestrian competition, setting off a storm of supervision over the equestrian industry and eventually forcing the Sports Director to resign.

On the same day, two other presidential aides were also prosecuted as accomplices on the grounds of systematically obstructing the payment of cultural and artistic subsidies. In addition, three people, including the former minister and deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture and Sports, were charged with seven people. The seven men are suspected of abusing their power to coerce the Korea Culture and Arts Council, the Film Promotion Committee, and the Korea Publishing and Cultural Industry Promotion Institute and other institutions not to pay subsidies to so-called "left-wing" literary and artistic figures who disagree with the government.
