With the premiere nearing, the production company for Sungkyunkwan Scandal has met with some problems after Sungkyunkwan University submitted a request for it to change the drama name.

A spokesperson for Sungkyunkwan University expressed on the 20th, “Sungkyunkwan is Korea’s foremost institution of higher learning and dedicated to building a harmonious society of perfected human beings. By adding ‘Scandal’ to the school’s name, it is undoubtedly the biggest insult to the school. We hope that KBS would take our request to change the drama’s name.”

A KBS representative expressed that the drama’s name was a form of artistic creation and they had no intention of insulting anyone. They will seek to meet with officials from Sungkyunkwan University to resolve the issue amicably and have no present intention of changing the drama’s name.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal is scheduled for broadcast from August 30th through KBS2TV.

Actually I went that university and it wasn't like that at all. Although, they do have automatic locks on the doors so you can't get out of the class in the middle. Terrifying.

But they do have long history and I kind of understand this comment form them but that line among others is a bit too much :/

1.) That is a really horrid picture of Yoochun.
2.) I'm mildly amused. Because, you know, this drama is taking place a few hundred years ago, so it's name is totally relevant to the current university...

the university is the oldest and first in Korea..they did exist couple hundred years ago... so yeah

idk I get where they're coming from, but from my position it seems a bit trivial. I'm surprised they didn't do this earlier. Hasn't this drama been in the works for ages?

They don't know the content of the drama yet..
Above all, I think the drama promote Sungkyungkwan as the best institution for schoolar since hundreds years ago.

The scandal come from the woman disguise as a man in order to pursue her higher education..

From: [identity profile] orenji13.livejournal.com
or perhaps they don't want the SCANDAL, not the SUNGKYUNGKWAN???

so they should name it: Sungkyungkwan Love Story???

From: [identity profile] esmiux.livejournal.com
LOL they really had to wait 10 days before the drama is released to do this?

I mean really?....

i think they're concerned about the "scandal" attached to the name. i mean, google/search it up and the "scandal" part automatically follows "sungkyunkwan." /shugs

no, the title is ‘The Lives of SungKyunKwan Confucian Scholars.'

That description would fit talent agencies which create perfected human beings aka k-idols.
