Prosecutors said Monday they have indicted a well-known belly dancer, charging her with forging an undergraduate degree to get a teaching job at a provincial university.
Ahn Yoo-jin, also known as Xena Ahn, was put to trial without physical detention for allegedly forging a graduation certificate of a university in Sydney, Australia, to get a job as a part-time lecturer at Kwangju Women's University in 2006, prosecutors said.
Ahn, who also works as the head of the Korea Belly Dance Association, established the Belly Korea Academy in 1995 and has since then trained dancers.
She became a celebrity by hosting several televised belly dance lectures.
