His first proper gig was, aged 11, in the choir in Richard Strauss's Die Frau Ohne Schatten at London's Royal Opera House. He went on to study at the Royal College of Music. At night, he worked on his pop songs or waited tables to pay the studio bills. Eventually a record company showed interest - but only if he did as he was told. "I wrote Grace Kelly as a kind of reaction...
...data. To verify the allegations, MBC requested samples of the stem cells, which Hwang provided. Pursuing their lead, the journalists tracked down two of three researchers from Hwang's lab who had gone to the University of Pittsburgh to work with his American collaborator and co-author, Dr. Gerald Schatten. They tried to strong-arm the Koreans into confirming the charges of data manipulation, and soon after, Schatten abruptly announced that he was terminating his partnership with Hwang, citing "information ... suggesting that misrepresentations might have occurred."

Several days after Schatten?s initial break with Hwang, Seoul?s news outlets cited a Korean government official and other sources in both Korea and the U.S., claiming that Schatten had met with Hwang in October and asked for 50% of the patent on the patient-specific stem cell cloning technique. Schatten also reportedly asked to be named chairman of the board of the newly created World Stem Cell Hub, a research center funded jointly by the South Korean government...
