On February 7, the rep stated, "After seeing the news, Jo Kwon said that he was frustrated. Jo Kwon was a very diligent student and went to school earnestly. He was passionate about his studies, and those who went to school with him know this about him. As much as he himself does not believe his academic achievements were the result of his special, celebrity privileges, we find it unfortunate that he has been involved in this controversy."�

Back on February 6, 'SBS News 8' reported that another idol was under fire for receiving preferential treatment at Kyung Hee University, and used a photo which seemed to match Jo Kwon. Cube Entertainment, Jo Kwon's label, has yet to respond to any of the ongoing media reports.�
