As a Korean, I would like to mention that public perception of Hwang has drastically changed during the last two decades. He's now seen as a criminal and a national embarrassment. His story is always mentioned in schools and universities as a prime example of what NOT to do as a scientist. It's also used as a constant reminder that with the right friends, one can get away with almost anything.

I mean there are bad things (faking the research from 2005 and coercing subordinates into donating). But donating the eggs for money should be allowed in my opinion. Yes, poor people will donate to get some money - but that's like saying "let's increase minimum wage to 20 USD, 10 million people will lose their job, but working for 10 USD is bad!" - the women that donated the eggs, donated for a reason. By banning donating for money, you are harming the science and the women (as they won't get the money they need) :) The whole ordeal coming from a bad law from politicians and conservative mindset. How unsurprising.

It's unfortunate but this is quite common in East Asian countries. It's not uncommon in Korea and Japan when a female sexual abuse victim/survivor comes forward against a public official or other famous person, *they* end up apologizing for the scene it creates even when they were innocent and the one who should be apologized to, and far more likely to be on the receiving end of harassment and given the "you'll never work in this town again!" treatment, which hits even worse in societies that have more culture around familial and personal honor. The status of women is certainly improving over time there (despite everything she did wrong, Korea had a woman president decades before even the United States), just not all at once.

I'm sure someone has already pointed it out but I need to say this for my own sanity. There is no such thing as a fancy Peugeot. Peugeot doesn't make ultra luxury super cars for rich people, they mostly make small cost effective hatchbacks. Hwang Woo-suk was admonishing his employee not for driving a Lamborghini but for driving something that in Europe is considered less fancy than a VW. I imagine the real reason Hwang Woo-suk was so angry was because the car wasn't Korean.

I am a former egg donor. Watching this video made me sick to my stomach. At least in the US nowadays, donating takes a long time from the initial request to the actual procedure - several months AT LEAST. There were also SEVERAL TIMES that I was given the option to back out. I was given months to make my decision. I cannot imagine how stressful it must have been to have your employer pressuring you to make a huge decision like this, especially since this was 20 years ago and the procedure was probably more dangerous than it is today. My heart breaks for these women.

For those who don't know, to get your eggs extracted you need to get hormone injections that mess with your health, mood, weight, metal health in general, then they have to invasively use instruments to go up inside you to suck out eggs which is incredibly painful as the cervix is more innervated than your butthole, so it's all round very very unpleasant and prone to fail, so often needs to be done multiple time, and to have THAT many eggs from just 16 people... there's no way all of them escaped gainint negative and permanent health consequences from all of that.

I currently live and work in South Korea as a teacher. The fact they masked the purpose of the egg donation as for IVF is particularly horrifying in light of the fact I have an extremely high (abnormally so) percentage of students who are twins, and I discovered it was because Korea has a high incidence of infertility, so IVF is very common. In very expensive schools it's not uncommon to have a set of twins in nearly every class (of only 14 students each). It is a very common and highly valued procedure, and poorer families will take on massive debt to have it done since carrying on family lines and confucian values are very important here. There's a lot of fear and sadness surrounding the declining population, fed by the many tragedies and constant oppression Korea has experienced as a nation over history, so any way to help their people and culture survive through future generations is is of paramount importance here. To take advantage of those fears and desperate hopes is truly vile, and I understand how people could choose to put on blinders to keep just a thread of hope for the future and progress.

the human-interest angle is definitely what gets a lot of people in the door here and bobby broccoli simply does a phenomenal job of using that to both tell a super engaging journalistic story as well as to educate people … but i’d say we need to maybe stay away from comparisons to gaming and music drama? i _think_ i get what you might be trying to say here: like, maybe that it’s surprising how a video covering science can be _just as interesting_ as drama from the entertainment industry. but i feel like the difference in _the actual content_ and substance between these kind of dramas is really quite important, and perhaps we shouldn’t just be focusing on how the spectacle of the form is similar from the instrumental perspective of our own personal entertainment. these science docs by bobby are usually about things that have had a surprisingly, often not widely known, societal impact. laws changed, people got killed, social norms were altered, etc. over this stuf. the music and gaming drama, by comparison, is often just kind of tabloid-level fluff-which isn’t to dismiss it completely or say that enjoying it makes someone stupid: i eat that shit up like candy, too-but, like, it’s just very much _not_ the same thing in a kind of really important way. and if we had more people making this quality level of science “drama” docs instead of the endless mountains of music and gaming content which require far less of a qualified background to do (which is in part an explanation of why there’s so much more of it), well, i’d definitely make that trade in a heartbeat.

Because the videos can be discovered in any order, the story unfolds differently for each player. (Spoiler-Free details below) In my own playthrough, the LAST video I revealed, which finally unlocked the final piece of the mystery, was instead among the FIRST videos in a different player's run So my own playthrough was to answer "what happened," while theirs was probably to find out "why this happened."

With Ninov, element hunting has little to no real practical value now. All of the radioactive elements that were useful and discovered in the hunt are below 100, so going beyond 118 is honestly just a glorified pissing match. It's nice to have it, but not needed. With Schön, improved semiconductors would have been great and useful, but the thing is they're kind of abstract and distant to the layperson, so it doesn't feel as emotional. With Hwang, stem cell treatment was (and still is) sold as a cure-all. People suffering and dying of incurable ailments finally saw light at the end of the tunnel, only to be crushed by the fraud. Not to mention the medical abuse he inflicted on his egg "donors". Biology scandals just seem to have high stakes, at least emotionally, since the layperson understands their effect even more.

@@Ramboost007 I think it's also the matter of how it affects a nation. Korea was definitely lacking in modern folk heroes since the Korean war, someone to cling to to give the nation a foothold in the international zeitgeist. Hwang in this situation represented more than just a company, or a lab, or a field, he represented the hopes and dreams of a nation. So not only were the actual lives of people involved handled poorly, but the entire nation had to come to terms with this borderline cult figure they rested many of their hopes and dreams on being rather scummy. Like keep in mind by the mid 2000s, people basically always asked "North or South" when "Korea" was mentioned in the States because probably the most famous Korean (either) was one of the Kims of NK, for all the wrong reasons. There wasn't yet the likes of BTS, or a Faker, Bong Joon-Ho hadn't yet made Snowpiercer or Parasite, they had some decently successful baseball players like Chan-Ho Park but nobody who reached the status of "transcending the sport" like Ichiro Suzuki for Japan or Fernando Valenzuela for Mexico.

It is fascinating in a kinda horrific way how for a couple months, several people knew the whole truth, the public knew about the egg donation scandal, and for a less socially talented person this would have meant game over, but Hwang in this position was more popular than ever and managed to repress the damning parts of the story until one random internet post

ADDENDUM: Additionally, by the author's own account, he was hesitant to publish the work precisely due to the Hwang affair until his student can replicate it separately.

I am from the Netherlands. Our society is probably as far removed from Korean society as possible among western countries in terms of cultural norms and values. Still we had the story of social psychologist Diederik Stapel, which is much the same as the stories of Hwang or that organic crystal dude Broccoli made a docuseries about. The problem in all these cases of fraud is not linked to anything typical to the culture. I mean in the story of Hwang there are definitely some cultural aspects that would only exist in Korea, but this is also true for any other story. The culture is just not a key aspect. What is? Implicit trust and lack of oversight. In the case of Stapel he was always at some point in control of the research data and he would change the data to make the outcomes seem interesting (which it normally isn't as humans are scandalously stubborn and boring). No one had any serious reason to ever doubt him and when challenged about the origin of the results he would just get angry and tell people not to waste time on these sorts of questions. Where Hwang and that organic crystal dude were caught pretty quickly because their research made them instant superstars Stapel was in a different field. Stardom as a social psychologist is just not happening. As such there was not a lot of attention. Catching him took well over a decade. In one of the most egalitarian, transparent and least corrupt countries a fraudulent professor was running amok for over 10 years. His punishment? Three weeks of forced labor. Worry about Korea. It is your home. But don't worry about it because of Hwang. Hwang could happen anywhere.

Accepting the pitfalls of one's country and trying to improve instead of claiming to be the best in the world is the difference between patriotism and nationalism. The Newsroom "America is not the greatest country in the world anymore" speech is a great example of that. Anyway, S. Korea is a top country to live in Asia but there are really serious issues that need to be addressed like inequality from the Chaebol dominated economy. When the government pardons fraud criminals like Samsung's ex-chairman Lee Jae Yong citing that he'll improve the economy, it feels S. Korea took nothing away from the Dr. Hwang scandal.

Funnily enough, I saw a similar thing with Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes. I was following it bc heaps of my school friends/colleagues were in biomedical instruments. After the technology fraud was uncovered, professional chatter fell to zero but the public on the whole were under the impression that she could ‘get it right the second time around’ - Like it’s roulette and not technical knowledge/expertise. People assume ‘trustworthy‘ people do good work and if it doesn’t pan out, it’s due to confounding/random variables. Hell, public opinion only really turned on Holmes when the law caught up with her and cracks in her public persona worked. What Kwang did was (diabolical) genius in the sense that he knew the official (lawmakers) and unofficial (the public) calls were what mattered to dodging responsibility, and not the scientific community.

I watch a lot of stories on speedrun cheaters. It's surprising how much their actions and general character matches that of Dr. Hwong. The denial, corruption, tampering, excuses, but specifically the _"i actually succeeded but something went wrong so i cheated to show the results i actually got before."_ is telling. A cheater's mentality is always the same, motivated by the same things. Be they on the front page of Science, or the leaderboards for Spongebob Squarepants the game.

I wonder if something similar happened to Hwang and he felt that he deserved good results because of the cult of personality around him.

It's a very complex story because he seems to have legitimate talent as a cloner and did eventually admit to his fraud. He should've served jail time and should be forced to pay millions in restitution; if he was, I might be ok with him trying to continue research again since he's apparently making real progress, and the money from his company could help repay what he embezzled. It just feels undeserved because he was barely punished.

The first video definitely has more talking points but this one also has a few things I would see as interesting. One, the liberal media outlets where the protagonists against Hwang yet people how would be viewed as liberal like Yoo Shimin and president Noh where advocates of Hwang. Two, 2005 was a important year in women's rights in Korea ending the controversial 'head of the family' system and yet Korea was still shockingly misogynistic for a farley developed nation. I just found these points as interesting and maybe worth thinking about. Great job on the video. Hope you keep up the good work.

Yet, the counter argument arises by itself, when we see that many women on their own volition included fellow scientists and politicians were willing to throw themselves into the procedure just to give this guy more eggs even after the truth surfaced. So the question is where is the line? How can we trust that people truly know what is best for themselves? To give them complete autonomy. The best answer is external regulation. Hwang didn't get away with it because his society was mysoginistic even though it was for the average citizen, the laws were there, more importantly the whole world was watching, he couldn't publicly show his processes and he knew it. He got away because he lied and because of corruption.

It can be difficult to switch language pronunciations for one or two words (names) when they're embedded in a sentence that's a different language. I speak English and Japanese and I have difficulty sometimes saying the Japanese "r sounds" during an English sentence. Ex: I was walking down the street to the ramen shop when Rui saw me. Talking just normally that can be a difficult sentence to say. That's why practice is, as you mentioned, vital. But even with practice I can say confidently that I would not accurately pronounce it sometimes.

your right, though it's not hard to understand why, Korea has been a place of Conflict, economic growth, destruction so on especially in the last 100 years, it means that South Korea as a nation i think is having an identity crisis and struggles with where it wants to be. 1900 it was colonised by Japan until 1945 which during the Second world war was destroyed in an attempt to leave a permanent mark on Korea, and as Imperial Japan is known for commited a few atrocoties, then as soon as the war finished Korea was again divided by foreign intervention with the US occupying the South and the USSR and China occupying the North, this is big cause now 2 ideologically opposed nations had a war despite having the same history, same culture, same people and same way of life were now divided. during the 50s military dictatorship after military dictatorship until about the 90s, South Korea largely stayed extremely poor and in poverty during that time apart from Miracle on the Han river after the war. and from the 90s it has been relatively stable for south koreans. though during the early 2000's political and scandals like in this video made people question national identity, So Koreans have been in hard times from 1910 to the late 2000's. it means there hasn't been time for sociatal development. think of the work and not so much nowadays but defnitely 2 decades ago sociatal culture as the 1970s in most of the western world especially when it comes to women and what role they play in South Korean society and how they are expected and what jobs they can do in an average job, it definitely has gotten a lot better, especially since Koreans have the internet now to see and have access to the outside world, it's definitely getting better as someone who lives in Korea right now but there are still issues to be worked on!
