Like Seedless Watermelon? Thank a Korean.

Yep -- you guess it! It was a Korean by the name of 우장춘 who developed the seedless watermelon.

Dr. Woo had many notable accomplishments - I would encourage readers to check out the wiki article

우장춘!?
I've never heard about him.
Is he the inventor of "seedless watermelon"?

Do you know him, 유쾌한 씨?
