Kim Kun-hee's wife is close to being found guilty of plagiarism in a Sookmyung Women's University thesis... but will not appeal (South Korea)

Kim Gun-Hee, wife of President Yoon Seok-Yeol, filed a separate lawsuit in response to a notice from Sookmyung Women's University alleging that her master's thesis was plagiarized.
If the Democratic Alumni Association of Sookmyung Women's University, which raised this issue, does not also demand a second hearing, the Sookmyung Women's University Research Ethics and Integrity Committee (RCIC) will not accept Kim's revision.
The final procedure will be discussed on whether to revoke her bachelor's degree. A source from Sookmyung Women's University told Yonhap News on the 13th, "There were no objections from Mrs. Kim's side until yesterday (the 12th), which was the deadline for applications.
" This raises the possibility that the results of the university's investigation into Kim's thesis, which is plagiarism, will be confirmed. The Democratic Alumni Association of Sookmyung Women's University, which raised the thesis plagiarism allegations, also released a statement on March 4th.
If there are no objections from either side, the university's research committee must deliberate within 60 days and decide on the level of sanctions.
Sanctions may include notifying funding agencies, restricting the supervision and review of the dissertation, and requesting the retraction or revision of the thesis.
The thesis that was accused of plagiarism was published by Kim in 1999 at the Graduate School of Education of Sookmyung Women's University.
The paper was titled "Study on the Characteristics of Paintings by Paul Klee" and was submitted to a graduate school. After it caused controversy, the university formed a research committee in 2022 and began an investigation.
