Korean superconductor drama: lead researcher "K unilaterally submitted without permission from the others"
Important disclaimer - the link is a genuine yonhap (the Korean equivalent to AP or Reuters) article, in which the reporter has some quotes from two of the more prominent researchers. Most of the article cited is a recap of the happenings of the past few days, but at the end exists quotes from two of the more prominent researchers of the project. Don't take my translation as gospel.
From the 7th paragraph from the bottom, here is my translation.
Meanwhile, the writers of the paper have drawn a line, saying that it is not a finished paper and there was no agreement on the reveal.
CEO Lee, in a phone conversation with Yonhap, said that "Research professor K unilaterally submitted (the paper) without permission from the others." and that he "requested that Arxiv remove the submission."
Dr. Kim also said in an interview with the American New Scientist Magazine that "the two papers have many flaws and was posted without his permission."
CEO Lee stated that K was the CTO at Q-Centre, but he relinquished his position 4 months ago and now has nothing to do with the company.
A contact at Korea University said that K is unable to be contacted by them as well.
Researchers have mentioned that the research in question has already improved upon the superconductor paper submitted to the Journal of the KACG (could be wrong about this, let me know), and have asked for a review by international academic journals.
CEO Lee said "We've sent the organized results of the research to the proper academic journals and that will get us peer reviewed," and that "the methodology has already been revealed so we will be judged by academia."
