[Asia Economy Reporter Joselgina] Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk criticized some far-right YouTubers for revealing his phone number, calling it a "collective outrage."

On the 26th, Cho Kuk stated on his Facebook, "After a far-right YouTuber known as 'Right-wing Uncle' disclosed the phone number inside my car, I have been receiving calls continuously from unknown numbers or 'No Caller ID'." He added, "The collective outrage continues."

Cho also mentioned his daughter, Cho Min, exercising her right to refuse testimony during the trial concerning allegations of admission fraud the previous day.

He said, "Since the investigation began in 2019, the prosecution has conducted searches at about 100 locations and summoned countless acquaintances of the family for questioning. Those investigated must have been very distressed with surprise and worry," adding, "As my daughter expressed, our family did not even receive contact for evidence collection."

He further explained, "It was because they feared potential harm," and added, "It is a time to deeply realize how difficult self-defense is for the defendant."
