Presidential Science Advisor Received Money from Hwang Woo-Seok
The presidential advisor for science and technology Park Ky-young admitted
Tuesday to a conflict of interest arising from W250 million (US$250,000) in
research grants she received from the disgraced cloning scientist Hwang
Woo-suk.
Park has already tendered her resignation. Watching MBC news last night, I also saw Chung Dong-Young trying to explain away his efforts to lure Hwang into the Uri party, although that by itself would be just politics as usual.
