The Korean National Opera Union released a statement opposing the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism's plan to relocate the opera to regional areas. They argue that this move, lacking feasibility and financial planning, could lead to a decline in creativity and cultural ecosystem disruption. Concerns also include impacts on members' livelihoods and the potential weakening of Korean opera's international status. The union demands a halt, objective evaluation, and transparency on the proposal's effectiveness. The Ministry's plan, announced in March, involves relocating several national arts organizations.
