The review process for this disciple’s doctoral thesis, which was compiled and summarized by Candidate In-cheol Kim, also seems very inappropriate.
The fact that the final thesis examination was conducted while receiving hospitality at a high-end restaurant called ‘Bangseokjip’ was revealed through the autobiography of the disciple.
It is said that this was done under the permission of Candidate Kim, who was the advisor at the time.
Then, reporter Jeong Hye-in reports

This is an autobiography that Lee Seong-man published in March of this year ahead of his candidacy.
One sub-title stands out among the details of the 99 doctoral examination process.
.
Mr. Lee wrote that the final examination of the thesis was so-called “in a place called ‘Cushion House’.”
According to Mr. Lee, “It’s a place where you can drink alcohol in an atmosphere and pay a lot of money.”

“It’s not a bar. It’s not a fairy restaurant. It’s not really a very high-end Korean restaurant. They just call it a cushion restaurant.”
The reason why the thesis examination was decided here was because of ‘Madam’s proposal’.
I was worried that there would be gossip articles in the newspaper, but Professor In-cheol Kim agreed.
It is said that he put such special devotion into it, like “as if the master Madam is a doctoral candidate.”
The thesis was eventually passed with the words of the referee, “Doctor Lee, get a drink!”
After the thesis was passed, Mr. Lee recalled, “The ladies and madam were happy as if they were their own, and moved to the tavern to celebrate 3 a.m. together.”
All the credit went to Professor In-cheol Kim, who reduced the five trials to three.
Mr. Lee said that this ‘thesis review process’ is all true.

“Did you buy and read my essay? Oh my gosh..”
(You wrote the thesis review process in the book. Are all of them correct?)
“right.”
Candidate Kim denied the allegations of spoofing the thesis, but did not explain the review process.
