'5 billion times in self-sufficient' Hong Jin-young, will the comeback public accept it in two years?
Trot Singer Hong Jin-young will return after finishing his self-rearing in more than two years, although he has decided to return to a heart of atonement, the public's response seems still cold.
Hong Jin-young announced his comeback on the 21st after a year and five months. On this day, IMH Entertainment, a subsidiary of the agency, announced that Hong Jin-young will release a new song on April 6.
“Hong Jin-young has decided to return carefully with his gratitude to the fans who have been cheering for him and his atonement for his mistakes and inconsistencies that have caused great disappointment to the public as a public figure,” the agency said.
"I will do my best to become a Singer who returns to the beginning and looks back on himself and conveys hope to the public rather than hoping to get full popularity. Please watch Hong Jin-young with a warm gaze. "
Hong Jin-young stopped his activities in November 2020 due to the plagiarism controversy of his paper and brought time for self-reliance. At that time, Hong Jin-young's master's thesis on the cultural contents industry trend through Korean Wave, which was a master's thesis on trade at Chosun University, was controversial, with a plagiarism rate of 74% as a result of the plagiarism review site Copy Killer test.
Hong Jin-young said that he did not plagiarize at all, and Hong Jin-young said, "I am just frustrated and upset. I think he was overly greedy. I will return his master's and doctoral dissertations. " However, the Chosun University concluded that Hong Jin-young's paper was plagiarism, and Hong Jin-young said he would acknowledge and reflect on everything.
Hong Jin-young's degree was canceled and Hong Jin-young later donated 30 million won to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association to overcome the species corona virus infection (Corona 19), but public opinion was cold. In the process of the controversy over plagiarism in the paper, criticism has increased because there was a lot of noise while refuting and explaining it several times.
Then, in November last year, KOSPI listed company Asen EXO D.O. acquired shares of IMH (IMH) Entertainment, a one-person agency of Hong Jin-young, and Hong Jin-young exceeded 17.5% of its stake. The company acquired 5 billion won worth of convertible bonds (which can be converted into stocks after a certain period of time).
Hong Jin-young continued to grow up quietly after that. However, her sister Hong Jin-young, who appeared on SBS's Ugly Little Boy together, was caught on KBS's relay camera on the 9th, which was the 20th presidential election. Hong Jin-young was once again noticed as a scene of cheering with supporters celebrating the election in front of the home of President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol was revealed.
Ten days later, Hong Jin-young announced his comeback, and it seems that he should watch whether the two-year self-reliant period is too early or enough time.
