Yonsei University Professor Ma Kwang-soo, who was suspended from teaching over plagiarizing his student's work, will resume his teaching from next semester, the school announced Monday. The professor of Korean literature and an authority on erotic literature, will teach two classes on ``understanding the theatrical play,'' once a week.
Ma said that he will talk about abnormal sexual desire, which is very important in understanding the psychology in a play. ``I won't be talking about boring principles,'' he said.
There will be 200 students taking the course and a special textbook will be used.
Ma was much in the limelight for being charged with obscenity. He was imprisoned in 1995 for writing ``Happy Sara,'' which was ruled pornographic by the Supreme Court. Recently he was fined 2 million won for posting the novel on his blog. The book is banned for teenagers.
The school did not punish Ma over the incident, for it guarantees the freedom of expression in academy and arts.
The school spokesman said that though his suspension has been lifted, Ma will not teach majors for a while owing to the fact that his plagiarism harmed the school and the department's honor. Ma is one of the most popular lecturers at the school.
