With the premiere nearing, the production company for Sungkyunkwan Scandal has met with some problem 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.
