Professor rekindles feud with Kim Yu-na
By Jung Min-ho
Professor Hwang Sang-min went back on the offensive against Olympic figure skating champion Kim Yu-na saying, “Kim is putting on another show by saying that she will drop the charges, if I make a public apology.”
Hwang used the same word that got him into trouble with Kim in the first place when he referred to her teaching practice as nothing but “a show” and that it lacked sincerity.
The Yonsei psychology professor said on a Channel A television program on Monday that he sent Kim a signed copy of his book as a token of apology but she refused to accept it, questioning his sincerity. For that, the 50-year-old scholar criticized Kim for “looking down upon others.”
