While actor Lee Beom-soo, who is a professor at Shinhan University's Department of Performing Arts, was embroiled in a controversy over allegedly "gap-jil" against his students, Lee Yoon-jin, his wife and interpreter, expressed his frustration.



On her 16th, Yunjin Lee posted photos on her own SNS that gave a glimpse of the time Lee Beom-soo and his disciples spent together.

The photos include Lee Beom-soo going to volunteer work with his disciples, Lee Beom-soo cooking for his disciples, and Lee Beom-soo's disciples taking lessons.



Yunjin Lee expressed her feelings in a long text with her picture.

First, he said, "I remember going to Mongolian volunteer service at Shinhan University with the students. Among the several days of schedule, the most meaningful moment was visiting a school in Mongolia with Beomsu's brother and students, repainting the old walls and fixing the outdated facilities. It was a time. It was fun and meaningful,” he recalled.



He continued, "There was a time when a group of classmates from one class came to my house to play. I remember that I was embarrassed when they ordered jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork because there were so many students that I, a yorin, had to serve something. Still, the memories of having fun chatting are vivid." he explained.



Also, "There are times when Dad goes to reinforcement school on the weekend, there are times when the children call Dad because they want to see Dad. During breaks, Soeul Daeul and the students talk through the speaker phone. Students greeting Soeul Daeul A bright voice came over the phone. I hope that brightness was all sincere."



"A few years ago, I was curious about the story of my husband who boasted that his students' acting was excellent, so I went to see a performance quietly. A parent recognized me and said that I was a home-grown vegetable, He said thank you for guiding me day and night so that my child, whom I thought was only human, could put on a great performance, and gave me vegetables in my hands to enjoy eating with the children. I was sincere."



Lee Yoon-jin said, "I don't throw away things very often, especially the letters that students gave me, sitting alone in the study and reading them one by one. I was able to read it. Although I am very knowledgeable, I read and read acting books to prepare for classes," expressing Lee Beom-soo's sincerity as a professor.



At the same time, Lee Yun-jin said, "Not all of my memories and records are delusions. And the eyes and sincerity of the students I met through volunteer work or the parents I met by chance would not have been lies." "Based on this, Professor Lee Beom-soo is currently under intense investigation. Because of this incident, he is looking back on himself and reprimanding himself endlessly for his shortcomings."



In addition, "At this point, can students and professors be together in one classroom by common sense? I'm afraid of students who smile brightly in front of me and throw 'Kadara Communication that's not even my story' anonymously at random in the back." I hope that misunderstandings that are amplified without any further spread online, and I hope that the students I met and even their eyes will not be acting.”



Lee Beom-soo, who teaches students as the dean of Shinhan University's Department of Performing Arts, has recently been embroiled in a controversy over allegedly 'playing power' against students.

Student A claimed that Professor Lee Beom-soo discriminated against students by dividing them into classes based on the rich and poor, and unilaterally changed class hours, causing damage to students.

Conversely, opinions defending Lee Beom-soo came out, adding to the confusion.



Regarding this allegation of power abuse, Lee Beom-soo's side refuted, saying, "It is not true at all," and expressed his unfair position, saying, "We will diligently participate in the upcoming audit of Shinhan University and resolve all suspicions."
