Article: Education Ministry requests cancellation of admissions for Jung Yonghwa and Jo Kyu Ma and cancellation for Jo Kwon's graduation

 

Source: SBS via Nate

 

1. [+651, -94] Jo Kwon too???

 

2. [+638, -163] Why is Jo Kwon's being canceled? What did he do to deserve this?

 

3. [+560, -133] Poor Kwon

 

4. [+92, -1] For all of you asking why Jo Kwon deserves this, it says right there in the article and even in his agency's statement. He was required to have a graduation performance as a requirement to graduate but he couldn't on the date he was assigned due to a personal matter and was ordered to submit a video performance instead but he was cleared for graduation without the video being submitted. He didn't submit his video until all of this blew up in the media and SBS investigated into it. He never wrote a thesis or submitted a video to earn his graduation. It doesn't matter how much of a hard worker he was as a student, he never met the requirements to graduate which is why it's being canceled now. It's not an unfair situation at all.

 

5. [+47, -1] Why are people asking why for Jo Kwon, obviously investigations brought up problems regarding his graduation status...

 

6. [+43, -1] Jo Kwon's the same as the rest of them, why feel bad for him?

 

7. [+38, -1] I'm guessing those of you feeling bad for Jo Kwon never read the article. He was required to submit a video but only submitted it after investigations were launched...

 

8. [+36, -0] Since when was graduate school a place that granted you a degree as long as you "worked hard" and "attended classes"? There's obviously a reason his graduation is being canceled

 

9. [+30, -3] Jo Kwon wrote an apology the day the Ministry of Education launched investigations and he realized that this was getting bigger than he thought. Why would he have written an apology if he was in the clear? ã…‹

 

10. [+23, -2] Jo Kwon cosplayed as the victim this whole time acting like he worked so hard in school but look at the special perks he still got out of being a celebrity ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

 

11. [+22, -3] Jo Kwon should've stayed quiet instead of acting like this whole thing was unfair just because he attended classes and worked hard. Why would you ever be granted a degree without even writing a thesis...?

 

12. [+18, -3] Why are you feeling bad for Jo Kwon, you idiots. He didn't submit a video until a month ago. Go ask your own schools if you can graduate when you only submitted your thesis in February. I bet all of you complaining only ever graduated high school.

 

13. [+17, -1] So many idiots commenting when they probably never even went to college. You think degrees are granted based on "how hard you worked"? ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Why feel bad for Jo Kwon? He only feels bad that he got caught

Good for the Ministry of Education.

 

If anything this will send ripple effects across the post secondary education system and more entertainers, professors, administrators, the wealthy, etc., will be rightfully exposed for fraudulent degree obtaining practices. 

 

This didn't bode well 8-10 years ago when famous Korean celebs were caught falsifying documents stating they graduated from prestigious schools overseas and witch hunts ensued. Unfortunately innocent people like Tablo were caught up in that mess so here's hoping only those who are actually guilty get punished.

because non-thesis graduate programs exist, you dumbass. He may not have submitted the video required for graduation on time but he said in his IG that he and several other students were given the option to either do a thesis or non-thesis and he chose the latter. I'm not a fan but as a college graduate, I actually know how colleges work and most graduate programs allow you to do either a thesis or non-thesis program for your phD.

 

Besides the university staff who allowed all of this to happen should be indicted, too, since they caused this mess in the first place.

it wasn't a famous Korean celeb who falsified documents that they graduated from prestigious colleges overseas, it was an art history professor named Shin Jeong Ah. https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2007/10/16/korean-professor-accused-of-forging-yale-art-degree/

How in the heck do you manage to graduate without both handing in the thesis and doing the practical...... my opinion of Korean education has gone down quite considerably after this.. honestly, that is a complete joke. Not cos the person is a celeb, but simply because this sort of stuff really undermind the credibility of the school and all its graduates, celebs and non celeb.

But the problem here is that Jo Kwon only submitted the non-thesis graduation video 8 months AFTER he graduated from the master degree. (Just one month ago when the issue blew up)

 

I do agree the management of the university is a mess.

The gag is he had the alternative option and didn't even do that.

Non-thesis graduate programs exist, you know. If you've gone to college and are familiar with how graduate schools work, you would know this.

Jo Kwon wrote an apology the day the Ministry of Education

 

 

WRITE YOUR THESIS, NOT AN APOLOGY YOU FUCK! 

NON-THESIS GRADUATE PROGRAMS EXIST, you know

 

Do some of you people in this thread even go to college because anyone exploring options for graduate school would know that many graduate programs allow you the choice of a thesis or non-thesis program
