Please Look After Mom is an award winning book written by Shin Kyung-sook , that was very popular in Korea for a while. But the kicker is another Korean novelist by the name of Lee Eung-jun pointed a finger at Shin and stated that the author plagiarized their work. Like a lot of people, Shin denied the accusations but a few weeks later she admitted that she was guilty.
The production of her books was halted but the companies working with Shin didn't really care about the scandal which caused outrage. This is just another downfall of an acclaimed author.
This wasn't the only case of plagiarism in Korea....
