1. [+1,743, -13] The news say that over half of his freshman class dropped out and five assistant professors quit in a year… which means the suspicions are likely true. Why bother being a professor at all if your filming schedule is so busy that you’re forcing your students to take your classes over the weekends or early in the morning? Logically, why? We all know that students are busy over the weekends or late at night with part-time work…
2. [+618, -8] ㅋㅋ Wait, is this normal? He didn’t teach his own class for… four months?? There aren’t even four months in a college semester…
3. [+489, -5] So he’s both an actor and a professor… and yet forces his students to put up with his filming schedule all the time. I remember when I was in school, it pissed me off whenever my professors would be a no show for classes. That’s a total abuse of his power.
4. [+444, -7] I get the appeal of having a celebrity on your professor roster… you get to promote your school and get students interested in school events… but these celebrities do not have the credentials for these jobs, and I have to question if they’re qualified at all in handling the collective intelligence of such a large group. The only people losing out in the end are the students. I never take it seriously when a school tries to appeal to me with “we have a celebrity lecturer” or whatever.
5. [+387, -8] Sounds like this was a long time coming
6. [+166, -1] Why not just stick to being an actor! Why add being a professor to the list… He really must think these students are a joke to him for him to think he can teach them on top of his film schedule! Why should students have to take classes over the weekend just for him? These students are the victims of false advertisements.
7. [+141, -0] He was basically being used as the face of the school to draw in more tuition money. How can he call himself a professor when he hasn’t taught a class in four months? This is an abuse of the dreams and desperation of young adults.
8. [+140, -0] Wait, people weren’t aware that he has terrible character?
9. [+69, -2] These schools are the issue, too. They take these famous celebrities and prop them up in professor positions for the free promotion. What kind of student would want to take a class that moves according to the schedule of the professor? This is a trashy and abusive school.
10. [+67, -1] Just that? Unfounded rumors? Are you going to retire if all of this is found to be true? Are you willing to compensate your students for their losses while you claim that they’re lying?

1. [+558, -12] You know, I never took him to be this type but he just isn’t trustable, is he
2. [+514, -9] I support the president in his efforts. Please reveal the truth until the very end so that there are no victims to this case. And set an example so that such blatant abuse can never happen again.
3. [+415, -10] The accounts by the students sound detailed and believable. I still hope that there was no abuse at all but if they’re telling the truth, he deserves to be exiled. How dare he discriminate his students between the rich and the poor? Such an immature way of handling things.
4. [+92, -2] Lee Bum Soo, a professor ㅋㅋ is his acting even that great? I don’t really remember his roles aside from the few thugs he’s played
5. [+67, -3] His wife is just as big of a fraud… She calls herself an English teacher for celebrities but when Tory Burch was here, she asked her ‘How did you knew that????” ㅋㅋㅋ
