Ask what Korea is talking about.

Hwang Woo-suk, the former Seoul National University professor dismissed in 2005 over a stem cell research fabrication scandal, has lost his Korean citizenship after acquiring UAE nationality. The Cheongju Immigration and Foreigner Office under the Ministry of Justice announced on August 13 that Hwang, born in 1953, acquired UAE citizenship on April 9 and consequently lost his Korean nationality, with the loss listed in the official gazette on November 9. Under Article 15 of the Nationality Act, a Korean who voluntarily acquires foreign nationality loses Korean nationality. Korean media, including Yonhap, Chosun Ilbo, and Dong-A Ilbo, report this as a belated confirmation of his status change.
