HONG KONG (Yonhap News) ― A South Korean businesswoman has been appointed to serve at a Hong Kong government-related body aimed at developing the arts, officials said Wednesday, marking the first time a South Korean national has held such a position.

Moon Eun-myung, founder of the Hong Kong-based Moon Gallery started her term as an examiner for the Hong Kong Arts Development Council on Dec. 1, according to the council. Her term lasts until April 30, 2014.

The ADC is a statutory body set up by the Government of Hong Kong Special Administration Region to support the broad development of arts in the city.

The principal decision-making body on arts development in Hong Kong invites local art veterans and professionals to be arts examiners, tasked with assessing funding applications and making grant recommendations.

Established in 2007, Moon Gallery has been dedicated to showcasing high-quality Chinese and Korean contemporary art.

The gallery has won a number of awards in Hong Kong, including HSBC Living Business Awards in 2010 and 2011, given for the practice of environmental communication to the local community through gallery exhibits.

In October, the gallery hosted a meeting between South Korea’s prominent multimedia artist Lee Lee-nam and Tobias Berger, former chief curator for the Paik Nam-june Art Center in South Korea, as part of a South Korean cultural event called “Festive Korea.”
