– Regarding his plagiarism for his master’s thesis at Chosun University, singer Hong Jin-young said, “I am deeply regretting that I accepted the provisional conclusion of the plagiarism of Chosun University. I will acknowledge and reflect on everything,” he officially apologized.
In the official apology distributed on the 18th, Hong Jin-young said, “I have made too much excuse for those who are still preparing their master’s and doctoral thesis day and night.”
Hong Jin-young said, “The moment I admit it was plagiarism, I felt so scared that I would never be able to get on the stage again.” “I was urgent to rationalize myself by saying,’The professor said there was no problem,’ and’I can’t even teach with a degree’.”
He said, “If I’m wrong, I have to apologize properly and get confused, but I was in a hurry to make excuses instead of reflection.”
Hong Jin-young also said, “I have been receiving too much love compared to what I have in the past,” and said, “I will repay the love I received by doing meaningful and good things while taking time to quietly look back at me.”
Hong Jin-young’s master’s thesis at Chosun University’s Department of Trade,’A Study on the Trends of Cultural Contents Industry through the Hallyu’, was suspicious of plagiarism at the beginning of last month as media reports that the plagiarism rate was 74% as a result of the plagiarism review site’Copy Killer’. .
As the suspicion persisted afterwards, Hong Jin-young posted on his Instagram on the 6th of last month, “The parts that passed without problems at the time are now judged to be only a few percent, so whatever I say, it seems frustrating and upset. “I just do it” and did not accept the allegations of plagiarism.
Hong Jin-young also confessed, “I think this is also a part that I should be responsible for, and now that I think about it, it was clothes that didn’t suit me,” and said, “I think I was too greedy.” He said, “I will return my master’s and doctoral degrees,” and apologized, saying, “All of this is unconcerned and wrong.”
On the 15th, the Research Integrity Committee under the Chosun University Research Ethics Institute tentatively judged Jinyoung Hong’s master’s thesis as plagiarism. The Graduate School Committee requested Hong Jin-young to submit the explanatory materials by 5 pm on the 18th. The Graduate Committee, who received this information, finally decides whether to plagiarize.
In the past, Jinyoung Hong obtained his master’s and doctorate degrees in trade from the Graduate School of Chosun University in 2009 and 2013, respectively.
Hong Jin-young recently got off at MBC TV entertainment program’If you don’t fight, it’s good’ as suspicion of plagiarism arose.
