I find it interesting that what exposed this fraud was a fellow Korean with a really sharp pair of eyes, IIRC. God knows, my eyes would not have caught it. That nobody else replicated the fraud's work is pretty obvious.
As an aside, it's weird how the NY Times keeps some of its archives freely accessible.

REALLY reviewing submitted papers takes a LOT of energy and focus.
I reviewed probably 7 to 8 papers over the years submitted by Japanese
or European authors.
I've found some really major cock-ups in their initial manuscripts...
but once cleared up, the science was still good and worthy of
publication in major journals.
It takes time and real stamina to catch innocent mistakes or
constructed frauds.

It ain't really laboratory science until the results are replicated. Up to that point it's tentative.
And remember folks, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
