Child prodigy Song Yoo-Geun's article deemed plagiarism

An article written by South Korea's child prodigy Song Yoo-Geun has been confirmed to be plagiarized and will be removed from the Astrophysical Journal.

A Ph.D. student at the age of 17, Song's article, entitled “Axisymmetric, Nonstationary Black Hole Magnetospheres: Revisited,”was published last month on the ApJ, a 120-year-old scientific journal of astrophysics, established in 1895.

Song became the youngest university student in Korea when he was admitted at the age of eight.
