I received the following email notifying inclusion in the Marquis Who's Who in the World 2009 Edition. I am very honored to hear this news. The Marquis Who's Who is one of the worldwide recognized biographical dictionaries.
As far as I know, however, more than hundreds of Korean people are included in this book in these days. I heard the publisher charged a fee for the certification print. Becuase of this, there is a rumor that the publisher issues certificates for business, that is, making money. I think the rumor seems to be reliable. They offer the print to the people who purchase an original copy of the book. But I am spiritually too rich to pay money for the certificate. :)
Unfortunately, they seem a bit high-hatted and are demanding payment. They are breaking down their historied authority on themselves.
