An exhibit containing hateful expressions was installed at Hanseong University in Seoul, sparking controversy.The displays included a picture described as a “wook” adn derogatory terms targeting Koreans.

According to sources within the university, the exhibit appeared on June 4th at 11:10 PM in a building on the Hanseong University campus, located in Seongbuk-gu. The displays included the term “Josenjing” (a derogatory term for Koreans), mixed with images resembling the Japanese flag.

Another part of the exhibit stated, “Joseon is the only country to fight moral warfare. Still, I shout.”
