Jeju: For the Grown and Sexy
2012-06-08 02:47 pmNew Jeju Sex Park Worries Authorities
A private park with an erotic theme that opened recently on Jeju has found itself at the center of a brewing controversy as authorities move to decide just how permissive Korean society has become and whether the facility violates obscenity laws.
"We are currently investigating whether the erotic sculptures at the park and videos it shows constitute a breach of the obscenity laws," said a police officer from the island province's Seobu Police Station.
The 3,000 sq. m Secret Theme Park, which is just a five-minute drive from downtown Jeju, opened on May 21 and features a nude art gallery, a similarly themed bonsai garden, a sex culture exhibition hall, an outdoor sculpture garden, an animal farm and performance stages. Minors are forbidden from entering.
A walking path takes visitors past large sculptures of genitals, and animals such as bears and monkeys during the act of sex. The gallery has large nude paintings by Korean, Japanese, and Chinese artists.
"Pending the review from the censors, we have stopped playing our 3D videos for adults," said a park spokesman, adding that "our nude performance is not obscene but art."
"There shouldn't be any problem as long as we operate within the legal boundaries as an amusement park for adults," he said.

Date: 2012-06-09 12:38 am (UTC)I went to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago with my parents and they were having a Jeff Koons exhibit. There was one section behind a wall and a sign stating that the pieces behind the wall could be considered offensive by some patrons. My family is pretty liberal so we go to see what it is. Suddenly I find myself standing between my parents and brother looking at giant billboard sized photographs of the artist having anal sex with his wife (who happens to be an ex-porn star)!!!!!!
No one in my family said a word and we all just kept walking.
