[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Pusan National University will announce the final conclusion tomorrow afternoon regarding the medical school admission allegations involving Cho Min, the daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk.

On the 23rd, Pusan National University announced that it will hold a press conference at 1:30 PM on the 24th in the main building of the university headquarters to present the investigation results from the Admissions Fairness Management Committee and the university headquarters' final conclusion.

Pusan National University began investigating the allegations concerning Cho on April 22 this year by convening the Fairness Committee. The committee held weekly meetings to examine Cho’s admission documents and interview the selection committee members at the time. Additionally, inquiries and responses were made to the institutions that issued the applicant’s submitted documents and related career organizations, and explanations from Cho’s side were also heard.

The Pusan National University Fairness Committee submitted its final activity report to the university headquarters on the 19th, and the university will announce the final judgment after reviewing academic administration.

Cho enrolled in the Department of Environmental Ecology Engineering at Korea University in 2010 and was admitted through early admission to Pusan National University’s medical school in 2015. On the 11th, in the appellate trial of Cho’s mother, Professor Jeong Gyeongshim of Dongyang University, the court ruled, as in the first trial, that all seven of Cho’s major credentials were fabricated.

The seven major credentials are ▲Dongyang University President’s Commendation and Research Confirmation ▲Dongyang University Language Education Center Research Assistant Activity Confirmation ▲Dankook University Medical Science Research Institute Internship and Paper ▲Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) Internship Experience ▲Aqua Palace Hotel and Intercontinental Hotel Internship Certificates ▲Kongju National University Life Science Research Institute Internship Certificate ▲Seoul National University Public Interest and Human Rights Law Center Internship Confirmation. Cho passed the national medical licensing exam in January this year and is currently working as an intern at Hanil Hospital, affiliated with the Korea Electric Power Medical Foundation.
