Science magazine retracted the article about Mr. Hwang's research

Surveys show that two articles about Mr. Hwang's research in Science are wrong

The prestigious American Journal of Science has published two currently scandalous articles by South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk, who have retracted both of these papers after the investigation results show. These two projects are fake.

This magazine said that for this reason they ' immediately withdraw and unconditionally both of these articles '.

Yesterday, Dr. Hwang also publicly apologized and wished the Korean people to forgive him. He said he was responsible for these errors, but still thought he had been deceived by his subordinates.

Currently his case - who has been honored for asexual research and is considered a hero in Korea - is being investigated by prosecutors.

According to local newspapers, today, many scientists in Mr. Hwang's research group were prevented from leaving the country. According to Yonhap news agency, a total of 28 members of the research team were asked to stay in Korea for the investigation.

Mr. Hwang and his research team may be convicted of forgery and embezzlement.
