In 2005, an anonymous tip from whistleblower Ryu Young-joon, a former researcher at Hwang's lab, led to MBC program PD Notebook uncovering Hwang's ethical violations and fabricated data, which was confirmed by an SNU investigative panel in 2006.Hwang's research was discredited and in 2009, a South Korean court convicted him of embezzlement and bioethical violations.
