The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, which has been designated as a contentious topic.
This was previously added to the article, but deleted as the source was unreliable (X/Twitter). Now there is a Korean media source reporting on it, with significant amounts of proof that the main claims are true: https://m.ekn.kr/view.php?key=20240526025543819.
Due to Korea's defamation laws, however, the accused cannot be named in full, and is just referred to as "Assistant Professor Lee". There is only one "Assistant Professor Lee" in the KAIST Department of Cultural Technology, which is Lee Jinjoon, the subject of this article: https://ct.kaist.ac.kr/boards/lists/faculty_board.
I believe this should be good enough to reinstate the previous claims that were put on this page, yes? Albatrossahoudori (talk) 01:31, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's definitely a step forward, but has any more mainstream newspaper reported on it? ekn.kr doesn't seem to be cited a whole lot on KO Wikipedia... it'd be best to have really non-controversial, major sources discussing it. SnowFire (talk) 02:33, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So far it seems that there have not been any other news sources yet, but this is breaking news and most of it was over a weekend.
While it isn't one of the "biggest" news sources in Korea, it is a long-running newspaper, it doesn't seem "controversial" in any way, and the sad fact of the matter is that most large media outlets would be hesitant to run news critical of KAIST (for political reasons).
