Education Minister nominee Kim In-cheol will withdraw after it was revealed that he once held a Ph.D. dissertation defense at a brothel. Kim is the first of Yoon Suk-yeol's cabinet nominees to withdraw. https://t.co/BZuESHNoDH
… held a Ph.D. dissertation defense at a brothel …

How does that even work? One doesn’t “hold a defense” of one’s own dissertation. One appears before a panel of professors who have arranged the session. Or was this some sort of fantasy defense in which the guy went to the brothel and <i>imagined</i> the panel of professors? Color me confused.

The 이차 exit fee for all PhD graduands to their viva panel.
