I'm not even going to tell you what Cheong Jean-gon (정진곤) confessed to, three days after being nominated, because I really want you to guess. I'll bet you can. Not the first time "you know what" has happened to a public figure. In 2006 the Minister of Education resigned for doing "you know what," and 2007 was a big year in all fields for stuff like "you know what." The Hankyoreh also has the story here, and the Blue House issued a press release here.

I dunno about this one..
"self-plagiarism?" Now that's a crime?
This seems pretty common in Western academia - I guess he could have cited better, but still...
Yeah, on the one hand I don't think it's a big deal. I do it all the time. But there are different standards for academic and professional work, standards one should be aware of. But, I'm sure there's more here than meets the eye, and it wouldn't surprise me if he plagiarized others beside himself. There's certainly plenty of precedent for it.
