Scientist of the Year Award is one of several awards given in South Korea by the Korea Science Journalists Association (ko). From 1985, it was awarded to one individual. From 1999, it was given to three winners, each within their own category, which changed to one category and one winner in 1996, removed the category system from 2011, and allowed multiple winners the following year. Laureates receive a medal and 3 million KRW (roughly US$3,000) cash prize.[3][4][5]
