Should be interesting come exam time when the university's told to pass students as it will cause a loss of face for Min-su and his parents if he fails despite barely ever turning up and when he did, paying more attention to his hair than his studies. Laughing

Cash grab of course. It'll be interesting to see if they will violate their academic principles (let little Dong pass for no work done, truancy, etc) or be given full jurisdiction over their school. I also wonder if the academic quality would be there. I'm betting tuition wont be Korean domestic prices either.

This has potential for one of the best sparkles in a long time. And when I say sparkle, I of course mean boondoggle.
