There is an editorial in Hankyoreh about some former Seoul National University professor Kim Minsu who was apparently let go because he didn’t have enough research publications. He apparently won a lawsuit against the university. However, the editorial also says, “As a result of the court’s findings, Kim’s assertion that the real reason SNU did not rehire him is because of a paper he wrote about the pro-Japanese, collaborationist activities of the professors who proceeded him in the university’s Colleg [sic] of Fine Arts becomes more convincing.”

I wonder where this article he wrote is and what he said? I’m absolutely fascinated how much this collaboration stuff is in the news these days… Looks like there are lots of articles in the Korean news about it (Google News hits and Naver hits) but I am still too bad at Korean to make my way through at more than a snail’s pace…but some day soon…just you wait…
