SEOUL: Son Joo-eun, CEO of Korea's top online private education company, Megastudy, is facing a backlash for inappropriate remarks during a recent lecture to high school students in Daegu.
He called it a “special admissions policy allowing adolescent girls who gave birth to have strong advantages in the college admission process.” Son also seemed to disparage one of his former students -- whom he described as not academically strong -- by comparing her to a sex worker, saying,"I told her, ‘If you keep living like this, your life will turn out worse than a prostitute's.'"
