"이 나라에도 희망이 있습니다" 박정희 대통령이 두 번이나 붙잡은 인재

There was a scientist whom President Park Chung-hee tried to bring back to his homeland not once, but twice. He was a world-renowned theoretical chemist who was recorded as the first Korean to earn a Ph.D. in Chemistry and the first Korean to be nominated for the Nobel Prize. In an era when Korea had no nation, he chose science over guns. And later, his name would be remembered in the language of world science through the "Lee-Eyring Theory." Today's video tells the story of a special meeting between the scientist the President wanted to keep and Dr. Lee Tae-kyu, who prepared the future of his country through science.
