1. [+394, -8] The standards for this college itself are weird. Looks like singers just get a free pass master's degree.
2. [+388, -13] Hul... this is really serious
3. [+36, -6] JYP lucked out so hard by not renewing their contract with him ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+32, -6] And with this, GD's master's scandal is once again buried~
5. [+27, -3] Netizens are amazing... they knew immediately last night that it was Jo Kwon as soon as news was out. If it wasn't him, Cube would've released statements saying so, just like SM with Kyuhyun. I guess it really is him... there's nothing in this world that can't be bought with money.
6. [+27, -5] Cube is obviously in emergency meetings on how to handle this, tsk tsk
7. [+24, -6] JYP lucked out
8. [+22, -0] Honestly these idols only get these degrees to postpone their enlistments... any male celebrity between 25-30 who hasn't served yet had to have used one of these tactics
9. [+21, -0] Why do you think these celebrities earn master's and doctorates? To get jobs at research facilities??? Obviously to postpone their enlistments
10. [+17, -1] These celebrities boast credentials of master's and doctorates but I bet their actual education level is barely at middle school...

1. [+3,299, -215] But if this really is Jo Kwon, shouldn't JYP be the one under question, not Cube? He was under JYP when this happened
2. [+2,668, -101] Come out with the name already. One thing's for sure, Kyunghee University's status has dropped.
3. [+2,199, -56] The industry is such a mess ㅋㅋㅋㅋ just a mess everywhere ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+436, -15] Kyunghee's graduate school is just one big business. Enough with investigating idols, investigate the school already!!
5. [+396, -22] Didn't Jo Kwon get scholarships for his post modern degree and get all As and everything????
6. [+385, -19] It's obvious special treatment is involved but the fact that these idols have to spend thousands of their own money on a "graduation performance" makes me question whether the school is giving these degrees based on performance or wealth.
7. [+358, -17] It's not only Jo Kwon, tons of celebrities get special perks from schools
8. [+323, -11] Why can't Jo Kwon just come out with the truth? We're in an age where you need to be direct about these things to avoid further damage. If he committed a mistake, just admit it and promise reflection. Avoiding the issue isn't going to resolve it.

1. [+151, -8] Working hard at school is one thing but doesn't explain how you earned your degree with a performance on the street in place of your thesis
2. [+140, -32] Kkap Kwon seems to have worked hard at school
3. [+93, -20] Yeah, everyone starts off by saying it's regretful~ ^^
4. [+25, -2] Don't try to change the subject by trying to get sympathy. Even if you attended class every day without missing a day, what's important here is that you didn't complete your graduation thesis
5. [+20, -12] Doesn't seem like there's much to suspect... he's never disappointed anyone in all his years and I'm inclined to believe him because he's such a hard worker in general
6. [+17, -2] You don't just get a master's degree by "going to school and working hard"... if that's all it took, everyone would have that. You need a thesis to pass in order to get your master's or even your doctorate...
7. [+16, -2] None of these reports ever accused you of not going to school on time... the problem has always been whether you were given special treatment on your graduation thesis or not...
8. [+13, -2] He really landed himself a big one after moving agencies
9. [+12, -3] So why is Cube staying quiet then? If they were so confident you didn't do it, they should be clarifying everything
10. [+8, -1] The reports all said that there was a problem with how you graduated, not that you never attended class or anything. Don't try and change the subject here.

1. [+6,582, -277] Jo Kwon's always been famous for going to class all the time ㅠㅠ
2. [+4,706, -179] Don't put out speculative articles, it turns innocent celebrities into victims
3. [+3,574, -160] Damned media
4. [+3,314, -151] Sick of this trashy media;;;
5. [+961, -36] It's true that Jo Kwon worked hard at school, he even got scholarships and professors always asked him why he attends class so religiously. I guess we just have to wait for Cube's statement now.
6. [+739, -32] Jo Kwon's one of the few celebrities famous for going to class all the time... He really must feel regretful about this
7. [+724, -30] Jo Kwon got into Kyunghee by taking the test twice. Still made time to attend graduation performances while doing 2AM concerts, bought his juniors snacks at the school store, rehearsed with his classmates once he got to graduate school, even released his own self-composed songs with them. It's all on his instagram.
8. [+618, -34] I don't think it's Jo Kwon... he's always had good grades and attended class all the time... ^^
