Dean Kim, "Mushroommates"
Dean Kim is a minor character in the series Kiff. He is the dean of Table Town University, as well as Beryl Chatterley's boss.
Profile[]
Dean Kim is the dean of Table Town University. Beryl Chatterley, as a professor at the university, works under him.
Personality[]
Dean Kim is a genial boss who gets along well with his fellow professors and often engages with them in social activities, including regular Saturday barbecues, which he encourages as he believes they improve team spirit.
In "Mushroommates", Beryl hosts the professors' barbecue at her home, but the backyard ends up being overrun by biting mushrooms due to Kiff and Martin's yardwork procrastination. Dean Kim, however, is sympathetic to Kiff and Martin's predicament, saying that he also used to procrastinate until just a month earlier, when he was inspired to be more responsible after seeing the quote "If it takes less than five minutes, do it now." printed on a box of Andrew's Mix cereal. The professors turn out to be interested in studying the mushrooms, and Dean Kim afterwards commends Beryl for setting up a perfect team building exercise for them. He then asks her to write an informative essay about the day's events for other institutions to learn from.
Later in "Dial B for Butt", Beryl receives a butt dial from an unknown caller who seemingly plans on turning Pegasus Field into a golf course and destroying Table Town, and she and Kiff incorrectly presume the caller to be Dean Kim, resulting in his boardroom being raided by authorities just as he is about to leave to golf with his colleagues. After the situation is resolved, Kiff begs Dean Kim not to fire Beryl, to which he replies that he would never do so (and cannot, since she has tenure), and that he in fact thinks quite highly of Beryl, calling her a "brilliant woman".
