[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The court dismissed the injunction request filed by a medical association to suspend the validity of the written exam application for the medical licensing examination by Cho Min, the daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk and Professor Jeong Gyeong-sim of Dongyang University, until the final ruling is made.

According to the court on the 6th, the Civil Division 21 of the Seoul Eastern District Court (Chief Judge Im Tae-hyeok) dismissed the injunction request filed by the Korean Pediatric Society against the Korea Health Personnel Licensing Examination Institute.

The court explained, "It is clear from the records that the creditor (Korean Pediatric Society) is not the plaintiff in the main case (the first trial ruling of Professor Jeong Gyeong-sim of Dongyang University) claimed in the application," and added, "There is no evidence to recognize that the creditor has standing as a plaintiff in the main lawsuit."

Furthermore, the court stated, "Cho Min's application for the medical licensing examination is a legal relationship between Cho Min and the debtor (Korea Health Personnel Licensing Examination Institute), and the creditor is not a party to it," adding, "Based solely on the materials submitted by the creditor, it is insufficient to recognize that the creditor's rights or legal interests are infringed by the application, and there is no evidence to support this."

Earlier, on December 24 last year, Lim Hyun-taek, president of the Korean Pediatric Society, filed an injunction request with the Seoul Eastern District Court to suspend the validity of Cho Min's written medical licensing exam application until the final ruling is confirmed for Professor Jeong, who was indicted on charges including admission fraud involving her child and sentenced to four years in prison and a fine of 500 million won in the first trial.

At that time, President Lim argued, "It has been recognized that the certificate of commendation issued by the president of Dongyang University, submitted as admission material for the Busan National University Medical School by Cho Min, was false," and "Since the admission approval to Busan National University was based on false admission materials forged by private document forgery, it should be nullified or canceled, and therefore Cho Min does not qualify to apply for the medical licensing examination."

Meanwhile, it was reported that Cho Min took and passed the practical test of the medical licensing examination held from September to November last year and is expected to take the written exam scheduled for the 7th and 8th of this month.
