[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Seoul National University of Science and Technology announced that it is considering disciplining Kang Hoon (19), known by the chat name 'Butta,' an accomplice of Jo Joo-bin, the operator of the Telegram 'Doctor's Room' who distributed sexually exploitative videos, at the university level.

According to SeoulTech on the 15th, the college that Kang enrolled in this year requested disciplinary action from the university headquarters, and the university plans to hold a 'Student Guidance Committee' meeting next week with faculty members in charge to decide on whether to discipline him and the severity of the punishment.

The university stated, "According to school regulations, if a student damages the school's reputation or acts against their duties, disciplinary action can be taken," and added, "The Student Guidance Committee will review whether to impose discipline."

Earlier, Kang enrolled in the university this year, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only online classes were conducted, and it is known that he did not attend any in-person classes.

Meanwhile, the prosecution arrested and indicted Kang on the 6th on charges of using the nickname 'Butta' in the 'Doctor's Room,' demanding victims produce sexually exploitative videos, assisting Jo Joo-bin in managing and promoting the Doctor's Room, and withdrawing profits from sexual exploitation.
