韩国前干细胞科学家黄禹锡被曝已入籍阿联酋 韩国国籍随之丧失

韩国首尔 — 据韩联社11月9日报道,韩国法务部下属清州出入境外国人厅8月13日在电子官报刊登的国籍丧失名单显示,曾因干细胞论文造假丑闻身败名裂的前首尔大学教授黄禹锡,已于今年4月9日取得阿联酋国籍,并因此丧失韩国国籍。法务部官员表示,除公告所载内容外无法提供更多细节。
名单所列之人1953年出生、原籍忠清南道扶余郡,与黄禹锡的出生年份与故乡吻合,他近年来一直在阿联酋活动。按韩国《国籍法》第15条,自愿取得外国国籍的韩国公民自取得之时起自动丧失韩国国籍。黄禹锡目前担任位于阿布扎比的阿联酋生物技术研究中心负责人,从事动物克隆等研究;据韩国媒体报道,他是在阿联酋副总统 Sheikh Mansour 等人的支持下被招揽至该国的。韩国媒体后续报道称,黄禹锡已申请恢复韩国国籍,正等待法务部长官的决定。
黄禹锡2004年至2005年间因宣称克隆出人类胚胎干细胞而一度被奉为韩国民族英雄,其论文随后被查明系伪造,他被首尔大学开除并被判刑。此后他转赴海外继续研究,2019年起在阿联酋政府支持下工作。阿联酋2021年起向科学家、医生与投资者等少数外国人开放入籍通道。

Disgraced South Korean Stem Cell Scientist Hwang Woo-suk Reported to Have Taken UAE Citizenship, Losing Korean Nationality
Seoul, South Korea — Hwang Woo-suk, the former Seoul National University professor disgraced in the stem cell fabrication scandal, acquired citizenship of the United Arab Emirates on April 9 this year and thereby lost his South Korean nationality, Yonhap News Agency reported on November 9, citing a nationality-loss notice published on August 13 in the electronic gazette by the Cheongju immigration office under the Justice Ministry. A ministry official said no details beyond the notice could be provided.
The man named in the notice was born in 1953 with a registered hometown of Buyeo, South Chungcheong Province, matching Hwang's birth year and hometown, and Hwang has been based in the UAE in recent years. Under Article 15 of South Korea's Nationality Act, citizens who voluntarily acquire a foreign nationality automatically lose their Korean nationality. Hwang now heads the UAE Biotech Research Center in Abu Dhabi, working on animal cloning; South Korean media report he was recruited with the support of UAE Vice President Sheikh Mansour. Later reports said Hwang has applied to restore his Korean citizenship and is awaiting a decision by the justice minister.
Hwang was hailed as a national hero in 2004-05 for claims of cloning human embryonic stem cells that were later exposed as fabricated; he was dismissed from Seoul National University and convicted. He later resumed research abroad, working in the UAE with government support since 2019. The UAE opened a narrow naturalisation path for scientists, doctors and investors in 2021.
