A university lecturer has been accused of inappropriate behavior, including sending messages evaluating students' appearances and directly revealing exam questions.

On the 10th, TV Chosun reported that Mr. A, a lecturer of a liberal arts course at a private university in Gangwon Province, sent a text message to a female student right after the final exam last month.

Mr. A sent a message saying, "This is Professor OOO. I was disappointed that you left on the exam day without even saying hello. You got an A+ grade. Congratulations. Thank you so much for taking my course, I am truly grateful. Let's have a meal together sometime." In this message, Mr. A also referred to the female student as "the most beautiful and intellectual person in the school."

Additionally, Mr. A asked some students to stay after class and marked their books with O's and X's, providing detailed information about whether certain questions would appear on the exam. Some students submitted a petition to the school, claiming that Mr. A's conduct was problematic.

When the school began an investigation, Mr. A expressed to the school that he wanted to resolve the issue through dialogue with the students. The school provided Mr. A with the names and phone numbers of the students who submitted the petition.

Subsequently, the students who wrote the petition claimed that they received threatening messages from Mr. A and that he deliberately gave them lower grades.

One student stated, "(Lecturer A) sent threatening texts like, 'Why did you sign the petition? You are an idiot. I will regrade your exam.' He lowered my grade from B0 to F," the student claimed.

In response, Mr. A offered a somewhat absurd excuse, saying, "I did not intentionally give an F grade; I just wanted to talk because the student was not answering my calls, so I threatened them."

The university is reportedly considering holding a personnel committee meeting to discuss disciplinary action against Mr. A.
