South Korea ministry apologises for blacklisting artists
The South Korean Culture Ministry on Monday apologised for blacklisting around 10,000 artists who voiced criticism of impeached President Park Geun-hye. Calling the situation "distressing", the ministry promised to co-operate with any investigation. This comes after the arrest of former chief of staff Kim Ki-choon and Culture Minister Cho Yoon-sun over abuse of power for creating the blacklist.\n\n
