Kyung Hee University is once again being examined due to possible preferential treatment.
On February 7, it was reported that Kyung Hee University is being investigated again on suspicion of preferential treatment.
According to SBS News reports, an idol received his master's degree from Kyung Hee University after presenting a presentation video instead of a thesis. While reporting the news, SBS used a photo of the album cover of Jo Kwon with his face blurred, which generated speculation that the idol in question could be Jo Kwon.
In response to these speculations, his agency Cube Entertainment has remained silent, but a source on Jo Kwon's side told the OSEN news service that Jo Kwon is being falsely accused.
"He finds it really unfair, Jo Kwon attended school very diligently, and all his classmates know that he was really passionate about his studies, his academic degree was not obtained through preferential treatment," the source said.
According to the research, it was a Masters in Applied Music from Kyung Hee University last year, after he submitted a video that said it consisted of him singing in the streets last May.
SBS News also reported that school regulations allow students to replace their graduate thesis with an individual presentation. The performances must be accompanied and must last more than an hour. Due to strict guidelines and expenses, only three or four people successfully graduated through this method. A graduate of the school said: "They are extremely demanding, if I remember correctly, to the point that not a single thing can be out of order." Touching the streets would not be enough.
Jo Kwon would have made a presentation for only 30 minutes, and passed the teacher's exam. It is said that both the video and its performance have been significantly lower quality than other graduation performances.
The student also performed at the outdoor theater of Kyung Hee University, which requires prior authorization. It is normally used for university events, since it can accommodate more than 8,000 students. However, it seems that B may not have had permission to use the place, as a school source said: "There is no record of any presentation We are looking for [the agenda] from last year, not only in May, but also between April and August. " They also stated that they do not allow students to borrow from the venue for any event or personal representation.
The specific professor who evaluated the presentation of the idol has also come under suspicion. A head of the faculty responded: "Recently I also learned that [this teacher] was in charge of the evaluation, I do not remember exactly, so first we must confirm with the department if they still have the video."
The police are investigating how the idol received its master's degree after receiving a report on the situation. Kyung Hee University recently underwent an investigation into the admission of Jung Yong Hwa at his school. In response to this latest report, the university has stated: "We are currently investigating the matter." If it is revealed that what was reported is true, we will decide based on the rules of the house of studies, because of this, we need some time. to investigate the matter. "
