The current affairs show ¡°PD Diary¡±, which sparked a storm of
controversy with its expose of flawed occyte procurement for Prof.
Hwang Woo-sook¡¯s stem cell research, will air a second program on the
cloning pioneer¡¯s research next Wednesday. The MBC program is planning
to investigate the leading geneticist¡¯s overall achievements. Meanwhile, all the show¡¯s commercial sponsors have pulled out under threat of a boycott from Hwang supporters.
The Korea Broadcasting Advertising Corporation (KOBACO) said
Monday that Calaway was the last of 12 advertisers to cancel a
commercial due to air during this Tuesday¡¯s program. Unless any new sponsors come forward by 3 p.m. on Tuesday, this week¡¯s ¡°PD Diary¡± will unprecedentedly air without commercials.
