Chapter 192: Academic Qualifications
Kim Do-jun nodded, he didn't care, what a big deal, is it necessary to make a fuss about my sister-in-law?
If that's all, forget it, but in fact it's much more than that.
Kim Do-joon's academic turmoil has begun to spread slowly, forming a flood throughout the network, and it is out of control.
Now netizens have begun to pick up the academic issues of celebrities, and part of them is aimed at Kim Do-joon.
Han Sung-ho went to the company early in the morning and discussed with the president, including Lee Yong-chul, how to solve this problem.
After all, it has had a great impact on Kim Do-joon's image, and if the rumors are not refuted or PR in time, it will cause a bigger storm.
What's more, Kim Do-joon's academic qualifications are completely real, there is no fraud at all, and he can fully withstand the inspection of netizens and fans.
However, the current Internet is completely a world of keywords, and even if a headline reports good things, it will be developed into bad things by netizens, so we have to pay attention to the academic turmoil.
In July 2007, Shin Jeong-a, an associate professor of art history at Dongguk University in South Korea, was like a domino card, and as soon as the news of her forged academic qualifications broke, many Korean celebrities subsequently admitted to falsifying her academic qualifications.
Subsequently, South Korean government officials also participated in the falsification of academic qualifications, and the government also took it seriously, vowing to thoroughly investigate 63,000 civil servants.
Later, the 51-year-old famous South Korean actress Yoon Seok-hwa, known as South Korea's Meryl Streep, also publicly apologized and admitted her academic fraud after Shin Jung-e's academic fraud scandal.
Then, Yoon Seok-hwa, Jang Mi-hee, Choi so-jong, Joo Young-hoon, Daniel Henry and other artists were exposed to academic fraud, which also forced artists to be busy modifying their personal information posted on the Internet.
And an artist like Kim Do-jun, who graduated from a prestigious university in the United States, was also implicated in the academic degree incident and suffered an injustice.
Many artists who have been exposed to academic fraud have different ways of coping with the scandal of fake academic qualifications, and some of them take the initiative to confess. Admit your mistakes.
Some are sophistry with many excuses and refuse to admit it.
As a result, some artists have been forgiven by the Korean people, while others have further affected their image.
"It was revealed on the Internet that you were studying in the United States, and now even you are involved in the academic turmoil. Rumors are flying all over the Internet, and I went to the company in the morning to discuss a solution! ”
Han Chenghao continued to type, raised his head and spoke.
After listening to this, Kim Do-jun smiled and didn't care. On the contrary, he was relaxed, what a big deal, with his hands behind his head and leaning back on the sofa.
"I'm not cheating, I'm afraid of anything, I graduated from Yale University with dignity. Why should I be afraid, it's a big deal to announce my grades and credits, even if it's a graduation certificate and a degree certificate, and then call the Yale Student Management Office to consult, how difficult is it? ”
Kim Do-jun didn't care, he didn't care about these things, and he wasn't afraid of shadows. It's a big deal to make it public, and it won't have any negative impact on him.
I won't take the initiative to search for these things that make me feel uncomfortable, there's no need.
Han Sung-ho also nodded, and the result of his discussion with President Lee Yong-chul was the same.
The purpose is to quickly solve the problem, calm down quickly, and recover quickly, try not to affect Kim Do-joon's current rising popularity, and not to have a bad impact on his image.
"By the way, the girl I met in the hotel last time, she was also involved in this turmoil!"
Kim Do-joon had the figure of that woman in his mind, and how she was involved in the academic turmoil.
"Is it Son Ye-jin? What's wrong with her? ”
Kim Do-joon asked with some confusion.
She was also exposed by the media for falsifying her academic qualifications, and it is estimated that she is not comfortable now. Among them, it should be the reason why brokerage companies account for a large part! ”
Son Ye-jin studied at Seoul National University of the Arts in 2000, and after a year of schooling, she submitted an application for leave of absence to engage in acting activities.
However, due to his busy work, he was unable to continue his studies and was later expelled from the school.
But it was also broken by netizens. Son Ye-jin's profile provided by several major Korean portals says that Son Ye-jin graduated from Seoul National University of the Arts, so Son Ye-jin is also involved in the whirlpool of the recent scandal of artist education fraud.
The relevant person in charge of Son Ye-jin's brokerage company said in an interview with the media.
"I didn't expect this to happen, it's so sudden, Son Ye-jin herself has never said that she graduated from Seoul National University of the Arts, and she has never used this to seek her own benefits, and even the fact that Son Ye-jin attended Seoul National University of the Arts was only mentioned by her idol when she appeared in a TV show during her school years, and the personal information of the portal is not provided by us!"
The agency kicked the ball back at once, in other words, doesn't the agency know that there is information about its own artists on the portal?
Could it be that after seeing that the information of the artist he belonged to was wrong, he didn't change it, but waited until the crisis broke out, and then he reluctantly shirked it.
Isn't it the artist who suffers in the end?
After that, the person in charge continued.
"According to the university's regulations, if you don't return to school after a period of suspension, you will be expelled, we didn't deliberately hide the fact that Son Ye-jin was removed, nor did we claim to the outside world that Son Ye-jin graduated from Seoul University of the Arts.
The spokesman said very politely, it was all official rhetoric, and he had been shirking it all the time, but he didn't expect that this would more or less affect Son Ye-jin's personal image.
Kim Do-jun didn't speak after listening, just quietly pondered, it seems that behind this matter is not so simple, it seems that someone is driving behind the scenes, wanting to divert attention and attract the attention of the people.
South Korea has always had such a tradition, and there is a lot of commotion in the entertainment industry, which shows that the bigger the scandal in the political circle, the more things you want to cover up.
This point has become the consensus of almost all the people in South Korea, and every time something like this happens, everyone can only discuss, who should be unlucky, and whose turn will be next.
At 5 p.m., the official website of Leessang's agency and Kim Do-joon's official website Jason-King made an announcement to announce it.
"Regarding the online speculation and slander of the company's artist Kim Dojun's academic qualifications, I issued a solemn statement that its artist Kim Dojun graduated from Yale University in the United States, the situation is true, there is no concealment and no forgery, Jungle Company has always adhered to the law-abiding and rules-abiding, conscientiously fulfilled its responsibilities and obligations, and at the same time believed that there would be objective, fair and professional judgment. The misinformation of the relevant media, confusing right and wrong, has caused a serious impact on our company and the artists and the loss of personal reputation, and our company reserves the right to investigate the relevant responsibilities of the malicious slander of the company and its artists. ”
Later, Kim Do-joon's enrollment certificate, transcript, graduation certificate, and degree certificate when he was in college in the United States were attached, as well as graduation photos with his college classmates, etc., as evidence, and posted them on the Internet.
Except for the mosaic of a few numbers in the number, the rest are all publicly available on the Internet.
As soon as the statement was announced, it aroused heated discussions among the majority of netizens, and many people also commented below.
"Wow! It's really a top student who graduated from Yale University! I've seen the diploma and it's really the same! ”
"Dojoon OPPA is really good! The grades are all full marks, I don't know how to read, can you teach me! ”
It's obviously a little girl, and even adds a lot of funny emojis when she comments.
"OPPA will be much greener than now, I still like OPPA now!"
"Since the company is acting so fast, it must be very confident, not afraid of being tracked down by others, I hope that all brokerage companies in the future can learn from jungle companies, don't back down in case of trouble, don't shirk, think more about the artist, and honestly tell the people the truth, so as to eliminate the people's doubts about you."
After the announcement was released, it quickly climbed the headlines of the website, which immediately attracted the attention of netizens and dispelled the doubts of some netizens.
This matter did not end, on the contrary, it had a profound impact on the future.
After resting at home for two days, Kim Do-joon received a call from Lee Yong-chol.
"Is Dojoon at home? There's an interview to prepare for tomorrow, and I need you to participate! ”
Kim Do-jun is a little confused, when is he going to participate in the interview again, can he rest at home?
"What interview, media or newspaper?"
Kim Do-joon asked with a little confusion.
"KBS2's "Entertainer Agency" wants to do a short interview, and the time will not be very long, only 5 minutes!"
Li Yongzhe said it neatly.
"Okay, I see, where is the interview and when?"
Kim Do-joon nodded after hearing this and asked.
"Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, in the company, you can go directly to the company's recording studio!"
"Okay, I know, Brother Yongzhe, I'll be on time tomorrow, thank you!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Hey! It's time to get busy again! ”
Kim Do-joon stretched and whispered.
"Entertainer Intermediary" is a weekly program broadcast by South Korea's KBS2TV channel, focusing on the latest hot entertainment information content in South Korea, interviewing current hot stars, and providing different Hallyu content.
Early the next morning, Lee Kyung-eun and Seo Sun-joo came over to help Do-jun take care of his styling, put on makeup, change clothes, and after everything was cleaned up, he followed Han Sung-ho to the company together.
There will be a reporter from KBS TV who will come to interview later, so you need to be prepared in advance.
When he came to the company, Li Yongzhe was already sitting on the sofa at the door waiting for them, and he specially wore a formal suit today, which looked very formal, probably for today's interview!
"Brother Yongzhe, you're dressed very handsome today, and you're going to the beauty room!"
Kim Do-jun looked at Lee Yong-chul with a smile and teased.
