Ocean Hotel Room A206.
Upon arriving at the screening room, an employee standing at the entrance of the conference room looked at Hyun-joon and asked for his identity.
“Are you here to judge? What is your teacher’s name?”
“This is Choi Hyun-jun.”
“Ah, you are Professor Choi Hyeon-joon of Daemyung University. Please sign here first.”
After signing, the staff led us inside.
“This way.”
Medium sized meeting room.
Six monitors were sparsely placed, and the monitors were placed in a semicircle so that the judges could face each other.
In front of it, a beam projector is already projecting light to illuminate the screen. In other words, on the front screen, the subject of evaluation will present the draft of the research plan. The judges sat in front of a monitor to give scores for each item or to ask questions to the judges.
“Professor Choi, the professor’s seat is over there.”
seat of the jury at the end.
The center seat seems to be the seat of the judges. Due to his low age and lack of experience as a professor, Hyeon-joon ended up sitting at the far end of the table.
At this time, the other judges who had come first saw Hyun-joon and bowed their heads in their seats, and Hyun-jun also lightly bowed his head and exchanged greetings.
However, none of these judges know in particular. As if the pool of judges had been expanded to include medical school, biotechnology, and chemistry, most of the people seeing it for the first time are the majority.
Meanwhile, a gray-haired man in his mid-to-late 50s, who was sitting in the center seat of the jury, stood up and shook Hyun-joon’s hand.
“I am Han Sang-soo of Korea University, who served as the chairman of the jury this time.”
“Yes, this is Daemyung University Choi Hyeon-jun.”
“Are you from medical school?”
“no. It is a pharmacy.”
“Ah, that’s right. Today’s teachers’ majors are more diverse than I thought. There is also a material base, biotechnology base, pharmacy base, and even medical school. Oh, I’m in Korea University Medical School.”
“nice to meet you.”
After a rough greeting, Hyunjoon went to his seat and sat down. Then the review management staff came to the side.
“Professor, I will briefly give you the tips for the examination.”
After that, he simply gave me tips on how to look at the monitor and how to proceed with the screening. Hyeon-jun immediately displayed the research plans on the monitor.
Then, after looking at it at a glance, I found that the competition rate for selection for this research project was quite high.
A state that has already been skipped through a written evaluation. Nevertheless, the competition rate for oral presentations is at the level of 5 to 1.
It is a rather arduous process in which one of the five tasks is selected. In other words, if you consider the written evaluation competition rate, it is a fairly harsh competition of about 20 to 1.
Meanwhile, Hyun-joon looked through the research plan files and found a very familiar name.
Sunghan University Professor Yujin Park.
In fact, since I personally conducted the written evaluation, I knew about Hyun-joon. But when I find this name again, I feel strange.
Of course, during the written evaluation, I didn’t evaluate Professor Park Yu-jin’s research plan itself after clicking on the item for exclusion because I thought it would be a reason for exclusion.
Of course, even if the number of judges is not one or two, it is not a big problem to get an average score even if they are eliminated, and on the other hand, the relationship between the subject (professor) and the judges (usually fellow professors) is complicated (school ties, regionalism, etc.), so the actual task evaluation In the past, it was also a realistic rule for the judges to judge morally.
So, in the evaluation of this presentation, I thought that I would not enter the evaluation score for Professor Yujin Park. In other words, if you enter the reason for disqualification from the review, only the rest of the judges will evaluate Professor Park Yoo-jin and give an average score.
And after a while, the evaluation finally started.
#
Ssola. Ssola. Sola…
As such, the announcements that continue without a bird to rest.
At this time, professors from each university, who came out as subject to evaluation, continued their ppt presentations with a somewhat nervous look.
Immediately after the presentation, the judges would bombard with very poignant questions.
Time passed by quite a bit, and it was Professor Park Yu-jin’s turn.
This time, Hyun-jun also clicked on the reason for exclusion and refused to enter the evaluation score, and instead just watched her presentation.
You should do well.
The competition this time is too strong.
If you make a mistake, you can slip right away.
That’s why Hyeon-joon came to support her hard in his heart.
In the past, Stanford University, USA, Professor Park Yoo-jin, who took a postdoctoral course in the same laboratory. Like Hyun-jun, who became a university professor at the age of 28, Professor Park Yoo-jin is the same. Both are very young professors.
On the other hand, Professor Park Yoo-jin looked at Hyeon-jun in the middle of the presentation and showed a strange difference in his eyes. I never knew that Hyun-joon would appear as a judge.
Nevertheless, her presentation continued without a break.
And question time follows.
But at this time, something strange happened.
Professor Han Sang-soo, chair of the jury. He was unique in this presentation and continued to ask sharp questions.
Professor Park Yoo-jin, who has long hair and thick makeup, answered each question very skillfully with twinkling eyes.
However, as if he didn’t like her appearance, the intensity of Professor Han Sang-soo’s remarks is getting stronger.
“Hey, sir! You seem to be doing well with your answers. It’s plausible, so I heard it well. But I still have a lot of concerns about the basics. Since the professor is not a medical major, this kind of knowledge must be lacking a lot, and it seems that the background was wrong from the beginning of the actual research idea. If you approach it that way, you will only waste your time and waste the public’s taxpayer money. If the other judges have no questions, then this is the end of this presentation…”
But at that moment.
“Chairman!”
Professor Park Yoo-jin suddenly cuts off Professor Han Sang-soo, the head of the jury, and makes a remark. In fact, this is a violation of etiquette as a subject of evaluation. However, she seems to have suddenly realized that if the examination is completed in this way, she will be eliminated from the assignment examination unconditionally.
“I’m sorry, Chairman. I can’t agree at all with the previous comment. Regarding the medical field, Professor Seongjin Kim of Sunghan University Medical School, who participated as a co-researcher…”
She expressed her opinion in a very clear voice.
However, even so, Professor Han Sang-soo’s expression is not good.
In the end, Professor Han Sang-soo took offense.
“Ha, true! Teacher! What are you doing? Because there is no time! I highly appreciate your commitment to research, but due to time constraints, I will end this presentation here.”
Then Professor Han Sang-soo cut it like a knife again.
In the end, Professor Park Yoo-jin had to leave the presentation hall with a very stiff expression.
Then, a brief exchange of opinions among the judges followed.
“Commissioners, how was it? But I don’t know what the heck this is all about. Do young professors these days go out like that? It’s like that without knowing anything Tsk tsk. If you go somewhere and talk like that, your face will be embarrassed.”
Professor Han Sang-soo put on a scornful expression, and Hyeon-jun stared at him, then decided to observe the situation a bit more.
And the turn of the last presenter that follows soon.
But this time, it was a presentation by a professor at Hankuk University, the same school as Professor Han Sang-soo.
As expected, the presentation ended without any special problems, but a strange thing happened again during the question time that soon followed.
Unexpectedly, it was because of the reaction of Professor Han Sang-soo, the head of the jury.
As soon as the announcement was over, praise immediately jumped out!
As such, as he led the judging atmosphere, the other judges seemed unable to ask sharp questions because they were paying attention to Professor Han Sang-soo.
However, in Hyun-jun’s view, the research plan itself is a bit strange. It is a topic similar to the content presented in papers by other groups.
Of course, even though there are some technical differences, it doesn’t feel at all superior compared to the previous presenters.
In the end, Hyeonjun frowned. Unable to stand it any longer, Hyeon-jun decided to step out immediately.
“Can I ask you some questions?”
Professor Han Sang-soo immediately nodded.
“Teacher? yes! do it.”
“Then let me ask you a question.”
And from then on, Hyeon-jun’s sharp questions begin.
However, as the question itself kept making the main points too plain, at some point, the face of the subject became more and more hardened.
The expression of Professor Han Sang-soo, the head of the jury, who had been listening intently, also began to distort.
Then, Professor Han Sang-soo suddenly cuts off Hyeon-jun’s words.
“Hmm! Hmm! Teacher! Wait. Excuse me, I’ll make a quick comment on that question. Since this is purely medical, you probably don’t know, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that teacher’s answer. So there is no reason to waste time on useless things.”
As such, Professor Han Sang-soo suddenly takes the side of the presenter.
At this time, Hyeonjun was completely dumbfounded.
A completely different atmosphere than before.
Of course, if the head of the jury had stepped forward like this, usually professors would just say it and move on, but Hyeon-joon suddenly felt angry.
Hyunjoon opened his mouth again.
“Chairman. I’m sorry to say this, but I’ll be precise. By any chance, did the Chairman come to evaluate you? I just asked the presenter a question. It’s not fair at all for you to answer me. The answer will be something I haven’t heard.”
When Hyeon-Jun sternly refused to comment, Professor Han Sang-Soo’s face quickly turned red.
As the atmosphere becomes very strange due to that wind, someone sneaks up on Professor Han Sang-soo at this time.
“Hey, why would you do that? Teacher. I think you, as an expert, added a few words to dispel misunderstandings. I don’t see anything particularly wrong with that statement. Since the chairperson is the only professor of medical school today, wouldn’t it be worse if the assignment evaluation is wrong due to wrong insights?”
However, Hyeon-joon looked straight at him and said with a straight face.
“Teacher. I don’t think it’s wrong for other judges to point out other judges’ errors, but as you can see, I don’t think it’s absolutely right to defend the presenter’s position without any clear evidence. Furthermore, the presenter should answer my question, but the presenter is unable to defend. Am I doing something wrong in this situation? Mr. Kim, please tell me something.”
At this time, Hyun-joon asked the review management staff standing in the corner, and the staff immediately agreed with Hyun-joon’s words.
So Hyun-joon spoke again.
“Again, the chairperson is overly ambitious, and it is very difficult for me to proceed with the evaluation because of that. I will make a separate complaint about that.”
As soon as Hyeon-jun said that, the atmosphere in the hall became more cheap. Because, if this kind of thing goes outside for nothing, it is natural that there will be misunderstanding and confusion.
As a result, Professor Han Sang-soo had a lively expression, but he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
But let’s see where it goes! It’s like that kind of planting eyes.
Hyunjoon didn’t mind at all.
Professor Han Sang-soo is a professor at another university. Also, a medical professor.
No matter how old he is, he should never take lightly the camel mafia.
In the end, as if he had slowly realized that, Professor Han Sang-soo’s face was getting a little redder, and his expression was becoming more and more stern.
On the other hand, a young judge who has been quiet throughout the judging. He didn’t know what was going on, but he looked at Hyeon-joon once in a while with curious eyes.
In the meantime, the screening ended in a cold place.
Soon after, the judges entered their individual scores into a computer in a confidential manner.

And time passes quickly…
5:36:52 PM.
After completing the screening, Hyeon-jun came out of the Ocean Hotel immediately.
Then, like a tramp, I was walking towards the subway station when my smartphone suddenly vibrated.
I immediately took out my smartphone and looked at it, and found that Professor Park Yu-jin had called.
She looks very curious too.
How was the review conducted?
However, at present, Hyun-joon does not know whether Professor Park Yoo-jin’s research project was selected or not.
Nevertheless, since he received the phone call after a long time, Hyun-joon immediately set up an appointment and decided to meet briefly at a nearby coffee shop.
