![[Seoul=NEWSIS] Reporter Choi Jin-seok = Lee Ho-seon (Prof.) is giving a lecture at the 2026 NEWSIS Women CEO Leadership Academy, 2nd term, held at the Lotte Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul. 2026.04.29. myjs@newsis.com /Photo=Choi Jin-seok](https://image.starnewskorea.com/21/2026/05/2026050417031751111_1.jpg)
Lee Ho-seon (Prof.) has stated their position after the demeanor they showed during the lecture sparked controversy.
On the 3rd, Lee Ho-seon (Prof.) posted on their personal account, "It seems there are those who are heartbroken. They surely worked hard to deliver the lecture that day as well. They must have tried their best to keep delivering content without rest so that those who came would not leave with empty hearts."
Lee Ho-seon (Prof.) said, "Those who provide counseling know that counseling is never a money-making endeavor," and added, "Nevertheless, counselors work hard believing it is their calling."
Continuing, they stated, "I also work hard to deliver through lectures and reflect on my calling through counseling. For lectures, I am satisfied with effort and content; for counseling, I am content if there is healing for the client. That is my best, but it is also my limit." They further added, "So please do not take offense at the jokes during the lecture. As everyone heard, they were jokes that did not tarnish anyone's reputation."
Additionally, Lee Ho-seon (Prof.) said, "Broadcast counseling also involves many unseen aspects, and since it is a single-session counseling, please do not be too frustrated that it differs from the path you expected." They also clarified, "Nevertheless, I will be extra careful and pay close attention."
Meanwhile, Lee Ho-seon (Prof.) is active as a counseling expert, appearing on various entertainment programs such as JTBC's 'Divorce Reflection Camp', SBS Plus's 'Lee Ho-seon's Cider', and tvN STORY's 'Lee Ho-seon Counseling Office'.
However, criticisms have been raised regarding their direct expressions and counseling methods shown on entertainment programs and lectures.
It seems there are those who are heartbroken.
They surely worked hard to deliver the lecture that day as well. They must have tried their best to keep delivering content without rest so that those who came would not leave with empty hearts.
Those who provide counseling know that counseling is never a money-making endeavor. It is a process of giving artificial respiration to souls and lives, so it is not easy. Nevertheless, counselors work hard believing it is their calling.
I also work hard to deliver through lectures and reflect on my calling through counseling. For lectures, I am satisfied with effort and content; for counseling, I am content if there is healing for the client. That is my best, but it is also my limit.
So please do not take offense at the jokes during the lecture. As everyone heard, they were jokes that did not tarnish anyone's reputation. Broadcast counseling also involves many unseen aspects, and since it is a single-session counseling, please do not be too frustrated that it differs from the path you expected.
Nevertheless, I will be extra careful and pay close attention. I will devote more effort to counseling. Since this is my job, it is right to be careful, pay attention, and devote effort.
The words of advice are even more appreciated at this time. You are telling me to study more and live with my mind fully alert, so I will certainly do so. I will keep this in mind!
