‘Thesis plagiarism suspicion’ Hong Jin-young, broadcaster OUT

[이데일리 스타in 윤기백 기자] Singer Hong Jin-young, who is suspicious of plagiarism of his master’s thesis, is stepping out of a broadcaster. Following the SBS entertainment show’My Ugly Cub’, the drop off was also confirmed at MBC’s entertainment show’It’s Glad if I Don’t Fight’.

On the 15th, the production crew of’If you don’t fight, it’s good’ told E-Daily, “The program will have some changes in the cast in the future, and Hong Jin-young has decided to get off.”

Earlier, Hong Jin-young appeared in the broadcast on the 21st of last month, but could not be seen in the broadcast on the 28th. Only a few voices appeared, and it was virtually no different from the full edit.

Even when the suspicion of plagiarism of the master’s thesis was strongly raised, Hong Jin-young cannot be found in’My Ugly Little Boy’, who appeared firmly.

On the 30th of last month, the production crew of’Miwoobird’ added, “Due to recent issues, we have decided not to deal with items related to Hong Jin-young for the time being.

Hong Jin-young joined’Miwoobird’ in December 2018. Along with Jin-young Hong, his general elder sister, Hong Sun-young, also appeared consistently. An official of’Miwoobird’ emphasized that “‘Miwoobird’ is a program that appears on the air while the cast members rotate,” and did not use the expression to get off.

According to Chosun University on the 15th, 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 plagiarism.

The Research Integrity Committee delivered these details to the Graduate School Committee as an official letter. It is known that the Graduate School Committee requested Hong Jin-young to submit his opinion by 5 pm on the 18th.

The Graduate 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.
