Jinyoung Hong, self-sufficient self-termination? The latest status delivered after two months of acknowledging plagiarism [종합]

[OSEN=장우영 기자] Singer Hong Jin-young acknowledged plagiarism and announced that he would have a self-sufficiency period, and then posted the first social media post and is drawing attention.

On the 4th, Hong Jin-young posted a photo on his Instagram without comment to convey the latest situation.

The photo was taken of the night sky with snow, and did not include Hong Jin-young. It seems that the picture was taken near the house.

This is the first time Hong Jin-young posted a post on social media after acknowledging plagiarism. It is attracting attention as it is the first post posted by Hong Jin-young, who has not been engaged in social media or other activities for about two months after posting an apology on December 18 last year.

On December 18, last year, Hong Jin-young posted a handwritten letter on social media acknowledging plagiarism. Hong Jin-young said, “I know it’s too late and I can’t turn back. But even now, I sincerely apologize and ask for forgiveness, so I held a pen.”

Hong Jin-young said, “On the day of my comeback with the new song, an article about plagiarism came out, and my head was weak. Until then, I couldn’t give up my greed. The moment I admitted that it was plagiarism, I was so scared that I couldn’t get on the stage again. So I was in a hurry to rationalize myself. It was because I was afraid that everything I had lived would be seen as a lie.”

Hong Jin-young said, “I also thought that if I returned my degree, I would just pass it over. Maybe I was just thinking about getting out. If I did something wrong, I had to apologize and get confused, but instead of reflecting, I was in a hurry to excuse. I wasn’t mature and I wasn’t like an adult,” he bowed his head.

Hong Jin-young said, “I will accept the provisional conclusion of plagiarism and deeply regret it. I will calm down and reflect on everything. I have been loved too much for what I have. In the future, I will take the time to quietly look back at me and repay the love I received by doing meaningful and good things.”

The controversy over Hong Jin-young’s thesis plagiarism arose on December 5 last year. Jinyoung Hong’s master’s thesis in the Department of Trade at Chosun University’A Study on the Trend of Cultural Contents Industry through the Hallyu’ recorded 74% of the plagiarism rate as a result of the’Copy Killer’ test for plagiarism review site.

At the beginning of the controversy, Hong Jin-young refuted that it was not plagiarism, but eventually acknowledged the plagiarism and said that he would self-sufficiently. However, less than two months after I started self-sufficiency, I started socializing activities, which is giving rise to speculation that this is a signal of a return. Some fans commented on cheering such as “I missed you”, “Is it correct that you are doing well?” and “I always support you”. However, others responded coldly, asking whether Hong Jin-young had announced the end of self-sufficiency. /[email protected]
