Kahi, a former member of K-pop girl group After School, was named a visiting professor of the taekwondo department at Wooksuk University Thursday, Yonhap reported.

According to the university, Kahi has given a series of lectures about the performing arts at the school and is known to be proficient in taekwondo.

She was given the honor alongside Choi Young-seok, director of Thailand’s taekwondo team.

A Woosuk representative said they are looking to create a combination of the Korean traditional martial arts and the performing arts. Naming Kahi and Choi as visiting professors at the school is a part of that process, the university said.

Kahi, who is a familiar face to South Koreans through music, television and musical theater, is currently a solo artist.

in general, you don't need a master/phd to teach in korea?

Not sure. Maybe because she's a visiting professor it's not as a big a deal (maybe it's like being a lecturer?)

I can only speak for foreign languages like English, and in that case, yes, you pretty much need a Masters. Some unis will let people without MAs teach, but those jobs are getting far and few between nowadays.

i was thinking today that kahi being around to tell the CEO of pledis what to do is the main reason AS got to do anything

i believe it. i dont really like kahi but shes a head bitch in charge and probably a more competent businessman than whoevers currently sinking pledis, not that thats a hard standard to achieve. without her its like they lost their direction
