When allegations were raised that actor Lee Beom-soo, dean of the Department of Performing Arts at Shinhan University, discriminated against students and used abusive language, the agency refuted that it was groundless.
According to the entertainment industry on the 7th, an online community recently posted an article claiming that Professor Lee Beom-soo has not lectured in person for about 4 months, discriminates against students according to economic circumstances, and uses abusive language.
The author, who identified himself as a student at the Department of Performing Arts at Shinhan University, claimed that he is currently suffering from insomnia, and some students either dropped out or received psychiatric treatment.
When this article became controversial, the agency announced on the afternoon of the 7th, "(Lee Beom-soo) has never discriminated against students or used abusive language. Other allegations are groundless."
The agency also said, "We plan to take strong legal action against the spread and dissemination of false information about actor Lee Beom-soo."
However, regarding lectures, he acknowledged that classes could not be held on weekdays due to filming schedules or there were sudden schedule changes, saying, "I apologize for not being able to meet the students' individual learning schedules. We will reflect and improve.”
However, "After discussing with the school, I received an answer that it was possible to hold classes on weekends instead of weekdays, and I asked for the students' understanding (for the change in lecture hours due to the filming schedule), and since then, I have been diligent in supplementary classes." explained.
The agency added, "Actor Lee Beom-soo is faithfully responding to the school's investigation to find out the truth."
