Hwang Woo-suk drinks

Mixing 'Hwang Woo-suk' drinks
Korea Herald 24 dec 2005

A new drinking trend to substitute "poktanju" (bomb-shot) culture has surfaced during year-end celebrations among working people.
Dubbed the "Hwang Woo-suk poktanju," it involves creating 11 drinks and numbering them 2 to 12. Of these, all except No. 2 and 3 are made just with beer with an empty shot glass inside.
The "poktanju" or "bomb drink," is a mixed drink notoriously popular among Koreans, concocted with beer and a shot of whiskey or soju, intended to be drunk in one shot, to get the party started.
The new drinking trend, invented by Hwang-weary working people, is a parody of Professor Hwang's 11 stem cell lines of which all except for Nos. 2 and 3 are alleged to be faked. The empty shot glass represents the alleged "fakeness."
"While it is fun to engage in such parody, a part of us is in shock and disappointment over the allegations that Hwang's work may be fake," said a 40-year-old man.
The culture of drinking "poktanju" arose out of a desire for people to get drunk quickly and open up to each other away from the reserved atmosphere prevalent in Korean workplaces
