Hong Jin-young officially apologizes for plagiarism
“Acknowledge everything and reflect”
“Accept the provisional conclusion of thesis plagiarism… ”
“I will take time to quietly look back at me”
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 on the 18th.
Hong Jin-young said in the official apology distributed that day, “I have made too much excuse for those who are still preparing their master’s and doctoral dissertations day and night.”
Hong Jin-young said, “The moment I admitted that 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 in such a way that’the professor said there was no problem’ and’I can’t teach with a degree’ I conveyed my heart.
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.”
In addition, Hong Jin-young said, “I have been receiving excessive 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.”
Chosun University’s Master’s degree thesis’Plagiarism 74%’
Hong Jin-young’s master’s thesis “A Study on the Trends of Cultural Contents Industry through the Korean Wave” was reported in the press that the plagiarism rate was 74% as a result of the plagiarism review site “Copy Killer”.
Afterwards, on the 6th of last month, Hong Jin-young said through his Instagram on the 6th of last month, “The parts that were passed without problems at the time are now judged by only a few percentage points, so whatever I say, it can only be seen as an excuse, so I am frustrated and upset.” And did not accept allegations of plagiarism.
Also, Hong Jin-young said, “I think this is also a part that I should be responsible for, and now that I think, it was unsuitable for me. I think I was too greedy.” “I will return my master’s and doctoral degrees. I apologized, saying, “All of this is my nonsense and my fault.”
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 explanatory materials by 5 pm on the 18th. The Graduate Committee, who received this information, finally decides whether to plagiarize.
On the other hand, Hong Jin-young was caught up in controversy about plagiarism of a graduate school’s thesis recently, and finally got off from all the programs she was appearing in, such as SBS’My Ugly Little Boy’ and MBC’If You Don’t Fight’.
Next is Hong Jin-young’s full apology
Good morning. 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
