Police have launched an investigation into fake nude images of a liberal lawmaker.
According to Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul, Tuesday, police officers are looking into who put up a placard showing fake nude images of Rep. Pyo Chang-won of the Democratic Party and his wife near the National Assembly Station.
The lawmaker filed a complaint with police Monday, saying the composite photo is insulting and its display at the public place violates the law.
The placard says, "Pyo's way of freedom of expression is great. I want you to exhibit this at the National Assembly."
The incident happened a month after the controversial art exhibition, which included a fake nude painting of President Park Geun-hye, at the National Assembly building.
Pyo organized the exhibition at the building's lobby. One of the paintings featured "Dirty Sleep," which depicted the President naked in a parody of Edouard Manet's "Olympia."
The exhibition drew extensive criticism, which led the Democratic Party to suspend his party membership for six months.
The exhibition also provoked controversy over "freedom of expression," the logic Pyo used to defend the painting at that time. But he later apologized.
