[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The decision on whether to cancel the admission of Cho Min, daughter of former Minister Cho Kuk, to the Pusan National University Medical School is expected to be finalized around the 18th.

The Pusan National University Admission Fairness Management Committee, which is investigating allegations of fraudulent admission involving Cho Min, is reportedly planning to make a final judgment on the 18th.

The university headquarters will review the committee’s conclusion and then decide on the final cancellation of admission.

According to Pusan National University on the 11th, the committee has been conducting an internal investigation into Cho’s 2015 academic year medical school admission process since April 22.

The committee’s internal investigation included reviewing admission documents, investigating the selection committee members at the time, inquiries and responses from issuing institutions of submitted documents and career-related organizations, as well as requests for explanations from the applicant and their responses.

Following the appellate court ruling on Professor Jeong Gyeong-sim of Dongyang University on the same day, the committee plans to obtain the verdict and review the parts related to the submitted documents for Pusan National University Medical School admission.

The committee will hold a plenary meeting on the 18th to comprehensively discuss the results of its activities and the verdict, and report the outcome to the university headquarters.

A Pusan National University official said, “Once the committee’s report is received, the university headquarters will go through an academic administrative review process and plans to announce the judgment on the fraudulent admission allegations as soon as possible.”

The committee originally consisted of 25 members, but after the chairman voluntarily resigned for personal reasons in May, 24 members are currently active.

In March, the Ministry of Education requested Pusan National University to review and plan measures regarding the admission allegations of Cho Min, and the university conducted an internal investigation into the 2015 admission allegations through the Admission Fairness Management Committee, which guarantees autonomy and independence.

If Korea University cancels Cho’s admission, her bachelor’s degree from the College of Life Sciences will be revoked, and her admission to Pusan National University Medical School will also be canceled, as a bachelor’s degree is required for medical school admission. In this case, the medical licensing exam that Cho passed will also be invalidated.
