A professor from a university in Seoul has allegedly instructed her students to draw their genitals.

During a class titled "Sexuality and Society," the professor gave the instruction to the class as homework, an online media outlet said Monday.

She allegedly told the students that using a mirror and a selfie stick would help them complete the task, the report said.

Some of the students reportedly went online to express their confusion and disgust at the homework, blowing the issue wide open. The report said the professor allegedly said "it is fun to watch this kind of homework."

Facing the prospect of charges, the professor said the homework was "only to emphasize the importance of the students' affection for their own bodies, responsible decision-making on sexual matters and ego." She also blamed the school for "criminalizing her without hearing details of the matter."

A local media outlet said the homework was "inappropriate in Korea because, opposed to Western culture, the homework's content goes against Korea's traditional conservative culture."
