[이데일리 스타in 김보영 기자] Singer Hong Jin-young, who was caught in controversy over thesis plagiarism, admitted it after 44 days. Hong Jin-young put the situation, heart and apology of last month when the controversy was raised in a long letter. With the controversy leaving all the broadcasts and events appearing, interest is focused on whether he can recover the lost image through his confession.
Hong Jin-young announced on the 18th through an official press release, “I will accept the provisional conclusion of the plagiarism of Chosun University and deeply regret it.”
He continued, “I have made a great excuse for those who are still preparing their master’s and doctoral thesis day and night,” he said. “I’m sorry. I will acknowledge and reflect on everything.”
He said, “I’ve been getting too much love compared to what I’ve had.”
Previously, according to Chosun University, the Research Integrity Committee under the University Research Ethics Institute recently investigated whether Hong Jin-young’s master’s thesis was plagiarism, and determined it as the final plagiarism.
The Research Integrity Committee delivered these details to the Graduate School Committee as an official letter. The Graduate School Committee requested Hong Jin-young to submit his opinion by 5 pm on the 18th. The Graduate School Committee decided to finally decide whether to plagiarize next week after hearing Jinyoung Hong’s opinion. If the master’s thesis is concluded as plagiarism, Jinyoung Hong’s master’s degree is automatically cancelled. The final decision on whether to plagiarize is made on the 23rd.
Hong Jin-young official position professional.
Hello, this is Jinyoung Hong.
I know it’s already very late and it’s irreversible. But even now, I sincerely apologize and ask for forgiveness, so I picked up the pen.
On the day of their comeback with a new song, the article plagiarism broke out. I was really so scared of what to say and my head went white.
Until then, it seems that I couldn’t get rid of my greed. The moment I admitted it was plagiarism, I felt so scared that I would never be able to get on the stage again.
So I hurried to rationalize myself by saying,’The professor said there was no problem’ and’I’m not even going to teach with a degree’. It was because I was afraid that everything I had lived until now would be seen as a lie.
I also thought that if I returned my degree, I would just pass it over, or maybe he would forgive me. So I used the expression’custom’. Maybe I was just thinking about getting out.
If I did something wrong, I had to apologize properly and get confused, but I was focused on making excuses instead of reflection. I wasn’t mature and I wasn’t even grown up. I was wrong.
I will accept the provisional conclusion of plagiarism from Chosun University and I will deeply regret it. Even now, I have made a great excuse to those who are preparing my master’s and doctoral thesis day and night. Sorry. I will acknowledge and reflect on everything.
In the meantime, I have been loved more than I have. In the future, I will take the time to quietly look back at me and do meaningful and good things to repay the love I received.
Once again, I bow my head and apologize. I am sincerely sorry.
Jinyoung Hong
