[Pick] Proud of my unnoticed son… Professor of medical school who raised controversy over’Dad Chance’

Professor Jung Min-seok of the Department of Anatomy at Ajou University School of Medicine, famous for being a’doctor who draws cartoons’, was criticized after posting a “proud of son” on social media.

Professor Minsuk Jung is a character known as the anatomy learning cartoon’Haerangi, Malangi’. This cartoon was also published in the February 2017 issue of the Scientific Citation Index Expansion (SCIE) journal, Anatomy Science Education (ASE).

● Boasting of unnoticed son,’Dad Chance’ controversy

Professor Jeong said on Twitter and Facebook on the 1st that his son Jung Beom-seon became an assistant professor in the anatomy class of Wonju University, Yonsei University.

However, the process was controversial by explaining that “I got a medical doctor with my help” and “My son is the co-author of the neuroanatomy textbook I always talk about.”

Netizens pointed out whether the achievements were achieved through’dad’s chance’, and began to question Professor Jeong’s remarks.

As a result of the Academic Research Information Service (RISS) search, 20 out of 34 journal articles searched by the name of’Jeong Beom-seon’ were identified as co-authors with his father, Professor Min-Seok Jung.

Among the thesis on Professor Jeong’s homepage, many of the first authors were’Chung BS’, which is presumed to be his son, Beomseon.

● Suspicion of following prostitution accounts as’sub-accounts’

In addition, there were suspicions that Professor Jeong was following the prostitution account.

One of the 10 accounts that Professor Jeong followed was his name,’Minseok Jung.’ However, the other’Minseok Jung’ account was mostly following accounts that advertised meeting conditions and prostitution.

When a netizen who discovered this pointed out, “Is both accounts correct?”, Professor Jeong stopped following the account of’Minseok Jung’ right after the question was asked.

So far, Professor Jeong has not revealed any other position regarding the controversy. Currently, his Twitter account has been deleted.
