Opposition chief acquitted of instigating perjury
An opposition lawmaker claimed Thursday that 41 cultural properties in Seoul, including three designated as national treasures, have been damaged during the last three years.
Citing Seoul City data, Park Ki-choon of the Democratic United Party said it would cost the city 2.6 billion won ($2.3 million) to restore them.
Among the damaged properties since 2010 were the Gyeongguk Temple gilt-wood relief, a Buddhist painting of Mount Cheongnyang, Seonggyungwan Munmyo (Korea’s primary confucian shrine), Donggukjeongun (a six-volume guide to Korean pronunciation) as well as natural monuments such as the Samcheong-dong wisteria and Sillim-dong Chinese cork oak.
