Mr Joo Chul-hwan, a professor at Ajou University in South Korea, has drawn flak for making insensitive remarks about K-pop singer Goo Hara, 28, who was found dead at home in November.
According to the allkpop portal, Professor Joo, who is with the university's culture department, had questioned the artist's mental strength during a class discussion.At a lecture late last month, Prof Joo told students that if someone does not have mental fortitude, he or she will"become Goo Hara".
Netizens have slammed him for not understanding that depression is a medical ailment and not just a flippant reaction to adverse events. Prof Joo is reportedly going to issue an apology while the university is said to be looking into the matter.
