Gallery Hyundai, Korea's largest gallery, sold a large number of forgeries. In addition, at least several hundred forgeries were sold on the market through various Korean galleries. When it was exposed by a South Korean court in 2016 and 2021, the artist seemed embarrassed, but within days acknowledged all the forgeries as genuine. Collectors in Korea purchased items based on the authenticity certificate, but the certificates were also fake. However, ufan lee recognized even those works as genuine. Korean collectors are afraid that the value of the works they own will drop, so they tolerate collusion between artists and counterfeiters.
Now it's okay to counterfeit Ufan's work anywhere in the world. In Korea, Ufan guaranteed even the crudest counterfeits as genuine, so Ufan had no choice but to recognize them all as originals anyway.
His answers are more humane and humble as compared to other "artists" out there. The interviewer seemed quite full of himself but the artist explained everything in a straight forward manner.
Love his work!

개인적으로 너무 좋아하는 선생님이지만..참 안타깝고..에혀;; 뭐 포스터 구입하는 선에서 전 만족해야할듯.작품에 죄는 없으니까요
베끼기 너무 쉬운 그림들이라 어차피 또 위조작품이 나올 수 있음. 작가 본인은 저번처럼 또 그걸 자기 작품으로 인정할 거 같고…
작품 가치에 불안요소가 너무 큰데 컬렉팅이 계속되는 것이 신기함.
dont mind me just an art school kid needing to finish a final
I'm sorry but the questions and answers sound like a parody of artistic mumbo jumbo,.
So just regular artistic mumbo jumbo then?

its not that bad.
The interviewer's outfit is really distracting, especially that shoe and sock combo.
