"We need a whole new paradigm, a fresh concept, to develop this country. Ships and semiconductors were not Korean industries. We adopted those products from the outside. The way forward is to pursue technological innovations in a way that only Koreans can. We were conquered by Japan for 36 years. During the Korean war, so many people were killed. The result is a hungry, fighting spirit that other countries find hard to match. Our lab has worked 365 days for 15 years. This concentration and dilligence were really needed. Western cultures cannot understand and cannot endure the hardship. If we deveote ourselves for a few more decades, I strongly believe we wll develop into one of the most advanced countries in the world. This is my dream." Dr. Hwang

Those involved with Dr. Hwang seems to be not running out of their way as I first thought, but instead, they're on track of their own for the respective final goal lines. Now the case has been turned into a bowl of soup seasoned with individual interests; each pours in their "chemicals" and "additives" with their clone-gate scoop everyday, some of which never looks related to the essence of this case at all. This is why we believe, whatever Dr. Hwang’s investigation reveals before us, we’ll have something to learn at least; never the truth tho.
