이기인, 메가박스 육영수 저격 티켓 잔혹성 비판
최보식의언론

The photo above is said to show an original ticket released by Megabox for the film The Assassin(s).
When a transparent sheet marked with bullet holes is placed over the thick ticket, the bullet marks overlap with the Taegeukgi, the podium and a figure who appears to be First Lady Yuk Young-soo. The design seems to invite moviegoers to complete the shooting scene with their own hands.
Is this, too, freedom of expression?
Did a fatal shooting really have to be turned into a collectible in which viewers overlay a transparent sheet? Did you ever stop, even once, to think about how the bereaved family would feel upon receiving this?
How can a tragedy that remains an indelible wound for one person become a clever promotional idea for someone else?
Freedom of expression is not a bulletproof shield against criticism. If you invoke the freedom to release a design like this, then you must also be prepared to face criticism of its cruelty and vulgarity.
Is someone’s death your idea of “collectible value”?
A single “Tank Day” promotion led to searches and seizures, history education at stores nationwide, and even an order from the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office to investigate every gift-certificate purchase record. Public officials even took the lead in calling for a boycott. Yet when confronted with ticket merchandise depicting the killing of a former president’s wife, there is this much silence.
The standard for outrage must not change. There can be no partisan double standard when it comes to human dignity.
This should not be happening.
