On January 16, SBS News reported that an idols had been accepted at a graduate school of Kyung Hee University for preferential treatment and that they were in an investigation to find out who it was, since according to how he was advancing his research, it is not the first Once an idol has preferential treatment to enter universities and postgraduate courses. This idol turned out to be nothing more nor less than Jung Yong Hwa, the leader and vocalist of the band CNBLUE, this very day his agency FNC Entertainment announced in a statement that he was the idol that was being investigated and gave statements of what happened.
The statement of the Agency says:
Hello, this is FNC Entertainment.
We are the agency of Yonghwa and we will apologize for the controversy surrounding the postgraduate interview of Kyunghee University.
Recently, Yonghwa and a team of our brand were investigated for the problem that Yonghwa was accepted into the PhD program of Kyunghee University Applied Arts. (The School of Applied Arts is a school that studies and fosters the skills of producing applied music content).
Yonghwa was recommended several times by the school, and applied to the Ph.D. program of Kyunghee University Applied Arts in January 2017 during the additional acceptance round.
Popular celebrities like idols have their schedules planned by the agency, since they are busy due to concerts and other things, and celebrities move according to that schedule. In the same way, the agency took over Yonghwa's application, which includes filling out their forms, sending them and contacting the school.
Both the label and Yonghwa believed that it was going through the normal application process until the situation became problematic. Yonghwa believed that the individual interview was the usual process, and she attended the interview according to the scheduled label.
Yonghwa was investigated by the police because of this problem. The label and Yonghwa had no objective of obtaining preferential treatment and breaking the rules of the school; We are very sorry for causing a controversy. After the problem became problematic, he is currently taking a break from school.
In addition, Yonghwa enrolled in the graduate program of Applied Arts in the fall of 2016, but was denied admission due to an error in her application. However, the school continued to recommend to the label that Yonghwa should apply for the additional application because the school lacked students, so Yonghwa submitted the application in January 2017.
We heard from the teacher that the school was trying to gather more students, and that they were trying to get even one more student to complete the classes. The teacher wanted Yonghwa to apply at school to help the school.
There was no competition and all students who submitted their application through the additional application in 2017 were accepted. Yonghwa was not unfairly accepted in a difficult process, and has no reason to do so as a popular celebrity. (If he knew it was illegal for him to be contacted personally for an interview and that he was supposed to be interviewed at school, he would have assisted by doing time, and we would not have done something that was so critical to his image as a public figure. )
The agency will take full responsibility in this situation, and we apologize once again for the problem
In the SBS News report it was said that the idol applied in October 2016, but did not pass the interview since it was not presented to the place where it would take place, then it did the attempt two months later and it did not attend the place of the interview, although when the results were announced YongHwa had a passing grade.
It was investigated a professor Lee to which the given name was not disclosed because, in the report of the lawyers of the leader of the band, Professor Lee recommended him a lot that university to the idol and he himself conducted the interview to your agency, letting you know why Yong Hwa did not attend the interview place the second time.
On the other hand, on January 17 through Instagram the idol published an apology letter in which he said: "First of all, I sincerely bow my head in apology, whatever the reason, whatever the truth, I know that It is all my fault and I am deeply reflecting, whatever they say about me, I will accept everything For my family, members and fans who have always believed in me, I am very ashamed and I really feel sorry for disappointing them all. I say, whatever you post, I understand that it may be difficult to reach you, but once again, I want to apologize.
I'm sorry to take your valuable time with this letter. "
At the same time that he published the apology his agency informed that he would retire from his position in the talk show "TALKMON" and that he wants to take responsibility for his actions because of the great controversy that was caused. Nevertheless; That did not stop the rumors that followed the controversy on the part of a former employee of the agency that claimed that Jung Yong Hwa applied for the university because he wanted to delay his joining the army, on January 19 his agency denied the rumors via Twitter saying The following: "Jung Yong Hwa made the decision to apply for admission to graduate school because he was interested in the program and the University encouraged him to apply, which has absolutely nothing to do with his military delay."
He added that Jung Yong Hwa delayed his enlistment through the legal processes to continue with his entertainment activities and that it is not true that he entered the graduate school for it.
"The statements that the former employee has made about the online lessons are false, and we will take legal action against any false rumors that continue to spread."
"In previous interviews Jung Yong Hwa has clearly expressed his intentions to enlist, so, faithfully, he will complete his military duty when the time comes."
