How to catch a criminal cloner

Want to directly support me and see videos like this 2 weeks early? Nebula is the best way to do that: go.nebula.tv/bobbybroccoli

Saying "sorry I can't verify anything from this paper that my name is on because of a time difference" is actually so funny

Producer's Note: "Do you have any DNA we can test?" Hwang: "I forgor 💀"

As a Korean, I would like to mention that public perception of Hwang has drastically changed during the last two decades. He's now seen as a criminal and a national embarrassment. His story is always mentioned in schools and universities as a prime example of what NOT to do as a scientist. It's also used as a constant reminder that with the right friends, one can get away with almost anything.

The minute your boss tries to imply your job is a "family" you should start submitting applications elsewhere. Literally one of biggest red flags the company is irrecoverably toxic

The dog actually being a real clone is the funniest part of this whole thing, shoutout that dog

I just realized that the cards actually represent the field of each person Hearts is scientists Spades is government Diamonds is the media Clubs is everyone else And the higher cards mean more power I can’t imagine how much work went into making just that graphic

The fact that no one was really upset at him when he coerced women, but they got mad at the fraud… that certainly says a lot.

Park Eul Soon’s diary entry is *heartbreaking*. A young, hardworking scientist, with a heart to help humans fight disease and heal the world, coerced and manipulated, and hurt. I dearly hope she’s doing okay now. God bless her. She did her best. I hope she’s okay.

The money laundering portion was such an OUT OF NORWHERE piece of information. "Buddy what are you doing" is 100% my response.

Props to Snuppy the dog for surviving this mess and being (possibly) the only genuine clone in a sea of fakes.

I find it interesting how he argued that cloning research was completely okay when looked at through the lens of Buddhism, only to violate a frankly obscene number of Buddhist principles behind closed doors.

I salute that person who posted the real photos. 'The show must go on'. They finally pushed through fear and were able to save the entire opposition and enforce it and swing everything in favour against Hwang

I now understand why Hwang was depicted as the “King of Hearts”. That’s exactly what he was in the Korean public eye, and he used that power to his own advantage. Love the way this is formed as a card game, and it’s one hell of a full house

Moral of the story: If you're doing fraud make sure you include and support as many government officials as you can.

For those who don't know, to get your eggs extracted you need to get hormone injections that mess with your health, mood, weight, metal health in general, then they have to invasively use instruments to go up inside you to suck out eggs which is incredibly painful as the cervix is more innervated than your butthole, so it's all round very very unpleasant and prone to fail, so often needs to be done multiple time, and to have THAT many eggs from just 16 people... there's no way all of them escaped gainint negative and permanent health consequences from all of that.

Thanks for talking about the misogyny inherent in egg donation in korea - very sad that the women who donated their eggs without even knowing all the side effects were attacked for donating their eggs

The fact that they masked an IVF assistance website using infertile couples to harvest eggs sent chills down my spine. That's just horrific, I cannot describe how I feel in words.

i'm still impressed at Hwang's ability to navigate the social landscape of the scandal. it's amazing just how much he got away with through networking and people's skills.

I am a former egg donor. Watching this video made me sick to my stomach. At least in the US nowadays, donating takes a long time from the initial request to the actual procedure - several months AT LEAST. There were also SEVERAL TIMES that I was given the option to back out. I was given months to make my decision. I cannot imagine how stressful it must have been to have your employer pressuring you to make a huge decision like this, especially since this was 20 years ago and the procedure was probably more dangerous than it is today. My heart breaks for these women.
