Former ROK Culture Minister Released from Prison
You have to like how the former ROK Culture Minister was quietly released from jail during Chuseok:
Former culture minister Cho Yoon-sun was released from prison Saturday.
An appeals court sentenced her to two years on charges of ordering the blacklisting of cultural figures during the Park Geun-hye administration.
The third of three extended detention deadlines expired Friday at midnight, as she awaits a Supreme Court review of her case.

It is interesting how she was tossed in jail for having a blacklist of artists the government would not give funding to, but the Moon administration has their own blacklist where they have cut funding to think tanks they don’t agree with and launched libel lawsuits to silence opposition media critics.
The wheel of Korean politics will keep on turning. Moon will find himself a guest of the Graybar Hotel soon enough.
That is, if he is lucky. If he’s not so lucky, he’ll discover the joy of “reeducation through labor” under the direction of Fatty Kim and his cadre. Commies hate traitors, even ones who helped the Communists. Especially the ones who helped the Communists…
She basically sold out President Park to the Commies for an early release.
