On the 23rd, the Chosun University Graduate Committee announced that after deliberation on this day, the final judgment of Jinyoung Hong’s master’s thesis as’plagiarism’, and that it will initiate administrative measures to cancel the degree.
The Chosun University Research Integrity Committee recently investigated whether Hong Jin-young’s master’s thesis is plagiarism, and has revealed that it is judged as provisional plagiarism. If the master’s thesis is determined to be plagiarized, Jinyoung Hong’s master’s and doctoral degree will be automatically cancelled.
Jinyoung Hong’s master’s thesis recorded a plagiarism rate of 74% as a result of the’Copy Killer’ test, a plagiarism review site, and found that 124 identical sentences matched 6 words out of 556 sentences in the thesis, and 365 sentences were suspected of plagiarism. Came out. Although there is no standard established by laws related to the plagiarism rate, it is known that the standard is usually 15 to 25% of the plagiarism rate.
However, Hong Jin-young’s side has drawn lines regarding plagiarism. Hong Jin-young made an official position at the time of the controversy and refuted, “This verification method is a verification with a timely error, and this paper was Hong Jin-young’s creation, and there was no plagiarism of other thesis.
Afterwards, the Chosun University side published a handwritten apology saying that it accepted the plagiarism of Hong Jin-young’s thesis after a tentative marriage.
Hong Jin-young said, “I was in a hurry to rationalize’the professor said that there was no problem’, and’I can’t teach with a degree.’ I also thought that I might not forgive me, so I used the expression custom. I don’t know if I was just thinking about getting out.”
At the same time, he apologized, saying, “I will accept the provisional conclusion of plagiarism from Chosun University and deeply regret it.”
Instead of the title of’Doctor Singer’, Hong Jin-young has a scarlet letter called’Thesis Plagiarism’. Everyone got off the entertainment program that was appearing in this incident. Recently, he donated 30 million won to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association, but public opinion is cold.
