<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 5136361, member: 16729&quot;]Okay.&nbsp; It&#039;s not a big deal to you. You have made your statement, and I have read it. Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;While you may not think so, this is a big news story in Korea.&nbsp; And it&#039;s about coins, so I posted this information at this coin forum.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, I have a <u>point of view</u> about this story.&nbsp; So what?&nbsp;&nbsp; And one that is *gasp!* different from yours!&nbsp;&nbsp; Is that a problem for you?</p><p><br /></p><p>Older coin designs will not stay forever(!)&nbsp; Coin designs change.</p><p><br /></p><p>The design changes are not <b>nefarious</b>.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just based on an <b>unfair </b>analysis.&nbsp; The design changes to the notes and 100-Won coin WILL take place.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am inserting my <b>opinion</b> that this is just decision-making based SOLELY on a poor examination of the artists&#039; career (an overemphasis on one or two years of their lives in which they didn&#039;t do anything wrong, anyway) and not on the lifework of the artist(s) ..or on anything else, for that matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps if you can just imagine that the title of this thread did not have the words &quot;Cancel Culture&quot; in it, I think you&#039;d might feel better about this thread, perhaps?</p><p><br /></p><p>There is also the fact that another (right wing) government might just come in after President Moon is out and &quot;re-instate&quot; Jang and his official portrait.&nbsp; Then what was spending the money to change the design all about, especially if the coin isn&#039;t going to be around much longer with South Korea&#039;s &quot;Coinless 2020 Plan?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said before, if most people support these plans in Korea (South Korea is a representative government), then more power to them.&nbsp; But I still think that the throwing shade on Jang for no reason (the destruction of his reputation) is not necessary and is highly unfair.&nbsp; I think a poster above noted that it might open the door to other &quot;revisions&quot; of other people in Korean history, and by using equally spurious reasoning.&nbsp; How would THAT be good?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
