People's Power Presidential Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol countered, "I don't know in part, but it is not a false career overall" in relation to the report of his spouse Kim Kun-hee's 'false career record'.
Candidate Yoon said at the Kwanhoon Club invitational discussion session, "The award is not completely fake, but he ran the company as a vice president and submitted works, and I remember that the company did it with his students."
He added, "My wife is not good at dealing with reporters, so I tell them to refrain from talking to reporters as much as possible.
He said, "When my wife says that she has won awards, she was deeply involved in the company's operation process and submission of works," he said.
In addition, he explained, "The non-executive director of the Game Industry Federation had the title of an actual director and helped the association for a considerable period of time, and when he applied for an adjunct professor, he was properly issued a certificate of tenure."
However, about what his wife Kim explained to the media, "My wife may talk about injustice in a conversation with a reporter, probably in terms of 'do you look up old things before you get married', but it seems to be inappropriate." It is not false,” he reiterated.
On the other hand, Candidate Yoon 'Regarding Kim Gun-hee's suspicion of plagiarism of Kookmin University's thesis, he said, "If it is academically plagiarized and it is difficult to recognize the degree, it should be canceled," he said.
He continued, "If the university autonomously decides that the plagiarism rate is over 20%, so it is difficult to admit it, I think that it will be returned by itself due to the nature of my wife."
He said, "However, since the thesis is about digital 3D and it is an experimental thesis, it is not possible to copy someone else's paper."
