Homecast is showing strong performance. This is interpreted as being influenced by the release of a Netflix documentary revealing that Dr. Hwang Woo-suk is continuing animal cloning research at the Abu Dhabi Biotech Research Center in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
As of 9:18 AM on the 10th, Homecast is trading at 5,020 KRW, up 6.24% compared to the previous day.
The recently released Netflix documentary, "King of Clones: The Fall of Dr. Hwang Woo-suk," features Dr. Hwang, who had been reclusive after the "nationwide scientific fraud scandal," continuing his animal cloning research at the Abu Dhabi Biotech Research Center in the UAE.
Dr. Hwang referred to Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Vice President of the UAE, as his "boss," and revealed that he settled in the UAE at his invitation. Vice President Mansour is widely known as a global billionaire and the owner of the English Premier League team Manchester City.
When asked, "How many camels have you cloned in the UAE so far?" he answered, "More than 150." The camera showed him commuting through the arid desert, with a caption explaining, "He achieved a historic first in human history but completely fell and collapsed."
Dr. Hwang began his research connection with the Middle East in 2016 when he cloned the deceased pet dog of Princess Latifa Al Maktoum, the Crown Princess of Fujairah in the UAE. He is known to have cloned over 1,000 animals, including dogs and camels.
Meanwhile, Dr. Hwang Woo-suk is the largest shareholder of H-Bion, which is the largest shareholder of Homecast.
