Roh Soh-yeong is a South Korean art museum director. She is the founder and director of Art Center Nabi.
Roh Soh-yeong was born in Daegu, South Korea, on March 31, 1961. Her father, Roh Tae-woo is a former South Korean politician and ROK Army general who served as the 6th President of South Korea from 1988 to 1993. [1] She has a younger brother, Jaehun Ro, who is a lawyer in the United States.
In 1988, Roh married the chairman of the South Korean group SK Corporation, Chey Tae-won, and has two daughters and a son. In December 2015, Soh and Chey divorced. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
She attended Sudo Girl's High School in Seoul, South Korea, and then went to the United States for further education, attending the College of William & Mary in Virginia as an undergraduate and doing graduate work in economics at the University of Chicago. [7] Then, she gained her master's degree in education from Stanford University in California before returning to South Korea for graduate study in Media Communication at Yonsei University in Seoul.
In 2018, South Korean media published an interview with two victims who said Roh verbally abused her personal drivers. [8] [9] Two anonymous individuals who had worked as personal chauffeurs since 2007 stated that they experienced verbal abuse and violent behaviour such as throwing objects inside the vehicle. [10] [11] Further revelations from a gym staff and her former secretary followed. [12] [13]
Roh later said, "How can someone who throws things and uses foul language live like this... You can understand what I mean if you think about it." [14]
AsiaN claimed that the media will 'listen' to Roh's opinion, since a false implication could pose a serious risk of human rights violations and defamation against her. The article states that the controversy surrounding Director Roh has been extensively covered by most media outlets, following the lead of the Hankyoreh newspaper. Park Young-sik, a lawyer representing Director Roh also stated the following. "Everything is not true. It is highly subjective, so it is inappropriate to respond to each claim." [15]
In 2000 Roh founded Art Center Nabi. [16] [17] It has a predecessor of Walkerhill art museum which was a private contemporary art museum in Seoul. She transformed the art museum into a new media art museum. [18] [19]
Under her supervision, [20] Art Center Nabi has been organizing various exhibitions and projects, such as Why Future Still needs Us- AI and Humanity(2016), [21] Nabi Artist Residency 2016, [22] Robot Theatre(2016), [23] Robot Party (2015), [24] [25] Makeable City (2015), Nam June Paik SPECIAL EXHIBITION: HOMAGE TO GOOD MORNING MR. ORWELL (2014), Butterfly series (2014, 2015), [26] [27] Incheon International Digital Art Festival 2010 (2010), Come Join Us, Mr. Orwell! (2009), [28] p.Art.y (2007) and so forth. [29]
In 2010, she organized the Incheon International Digital Art Festival 2010 (INDAF 2010) in Incheon, South Korea. The exhibition INDAF 2010 was held from September 1, 2010, to September 30, 2010, and she gave a speech about how she got Mobile Vision in the Keynote Conversation 1. [32]
Also, she directed the SK Telecom Pavilion at Expo 2012 held in Yeosu, South Korea, from May 12, 2012, to August 12, 2012. [33] SK Telecom Pavilion reflected the belief that rapidly evolving information and communication technologies (ICT) could play a significant role in increasing happiness in everyday life.
In 2014 Roh released her book, Digital Art, published by Jaeum&Moeum. [34] [35]
