[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] As the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) rapidly spreads in South Korea, former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk has attracted attention by participating in the "Thank You, Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency" campaign.


On the 26th, Cho posted a photo on his Twitter, saying, "COVID-19 cannot defeat Korea."


The released photo contained the message: "Korea has the world's strongest public officials. Korea has the world's strongest medical staff. If we all trust them, follow their advice, and warmly support them, the virus will soon kneel. COVID-19 cannot survive in a warm atmosphere. Right now, we are warm."


At the bottom of the photo, the phrase "Thank You, Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency" was written.


The photo is known to be part of the "Thank You, Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency①" campaign, which copywriter Jeong Cheol revealed on his blog that day.


Cho's post was retweeted about 4,000 times by 5:30 p.m. on the same day, just three hours after it was posted. It was also confirmed to have received over 4,900 'likes.'



Meanwhile, as of 9 a.m. that day, the Central Disease Control Headquarters of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency announced that 169 new COVID-19 cases had been confirmed domestically. The total number of confirmed cases exceeded 1,000 for the first time 37 days after the first domestic patient was reported, reaching 1,146.
