Yun Ja Yu’s (Han Hyo Joo) big genetic project seemed impressive in the series Blood Free (2024). He started the BF Group, which successfully launched genetic food items that became popular in the market. Despite facing criticism from different sides, Yun Ja Yu continued his development efforts fearlessly.
However, allegations arose about Yun Ja Yu’s company conducting unethical experiments using human subjects. Is there truth to these claims? If you’re curious, read the full explanation below.
1. Yun Ja Yu’s Twin’s Anthrax Tragedy
Yun Ja Yu’s twin brother tragically died after contracting mad cow disease, commonly known as anthrax. The government hesitated to acknowledge it as an anthrax case, fearing backlash for negligence.
This incident profoundly impacted Yun Ja Yu, making him skeptical of food sourced from animals. He became determined to innovate genetic meat cultivation, collaborating with Professor Kim Sin Gu (Kim Sang Ho). Additionally, they began researching human organ cultivation secretly, aiming to save lives and eliminate transplant-related deaths.
2. Kim Sin Gu’s Wife: First Human Subject
Kim Sin Gu, the sole professor developing genetic processes at BF Group’s lab, successfully conducted various studies, including cultivating food and human organs, along with creating advanced medical devices.
Desperate to save his critically ill wife, Kim Sin Gu took her to the BF Group lab, unaware of the risks. Tragically, she died during surgery using a high-tech machine.
3. Woo Chae Woon: Sole Successful Experiment
BF Group’s lab continuously develops high-tech surgical machines resembling CT scanners, programmed for various medical procedures. Woo Chae Woon’s successful surgery for a gunshot wound showcased the machine’s potential, offering faster recovery than traditional methods.
Yun Ja Yu’s ambitious project with BF Group, though successful in marketing genetically cultivated meat, faces legal hurdles due to human experimentation. Yun Ja Yu maintains strict confidentiality regarding these activities. Stay tuned to Blood Free for the unfolding story!
