Kahi, a former member of K-pop girl group After School, was named a visiting professor of the taekwondo department at Wooksuk University Thursday, Yonhap reported.

According to the university, Kahi has given a series of lectures about the performing arts at the school and is known to be proficient in taekwondo.

She was given the honor alongside Choi Young-seok, director of Thailand’s taekwondo team.

A Woosuk representative said they are looking to create a combination of the Korean traditional martial arts and the performing arts. Naming Kahi and Choi as visiting professors at the school is a part of that process, the university said.

Kahi, who is a familiar face to South Koreans through music, television and musical theater, is currently a solo artist.
