In 2000 Roh founded Art Center Nabi.

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.

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.

Further revelations from a gym staff and her former secretary followed.

However, Roh, the Director of the Nabi Art Center, embroiled in controversy over mistreatment by a chauffeur, expressed her feelings.

In response, she revealed her state of mind through another media outlet, saying, "How can someone who throws things and uses foul language live like this... You can understand what I mean if you think about it."

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."

The controversy surrounding Director Roh has been extensively covered by most media outlets, following the lead of the Hankyoreh newspaper.

However, the media outlet reported concerns that since a false implication could pose a serious risk of human rights violations and defamation, the media therefore expressed disbelief until the facts are confirmed, based on the claims made by anonymous chauffeurs who allege mistreatment.
