[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Former Secretary of Strategy for the People Power Party, Kim Geun-sik, criticized former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, saying, "This is typical of Cho Kuk, a master of hypocrisy and lies."

On the 1st, Kim posted on his Facebook, "Although Cho Kuk must have obviously read the verdict for Professor Jeong Gyeong-sim, he shamelessly cited Busan National University’s announcement, which contradicted the verdict by announcing falsified grades and making the absurd claim that the forgery of the certificate of commendation did not affect the admission decision. He showed hypocrisy and duplicity by presuming Cho Min’s excellent grades as fact and attacking the unfairness of the admission cancellation."

Kim also asserted, "In the first trial verdict for Professor Jeong last December, there was a ruling based on evidence that if Cho Min had not forged documents, she would have failed. Seeing that Cho Kuk immediately announced an appeal to contest it after receiving the verdict, it is clear that he read the verdict and knew it contained information about grades and admission decisions."

He continued, "Nevertheless, Cho Kuk shamelessly cited Busan National University’s announcement, which differed from the first trial verdict, on Facebook as if it were true, and brazenly incited the unfairness of Cho Min’s admission cancellation. Where does Cho Kuk’s shamelessness end?"

Furthermore, Kim said, "If by any chance he denies having read the verdict, that would be an even more immoral and inhumane act. His wife was imprisoned, it is directly related to his own charges, and connected to his daughter’s admission cancellation, yet he did not read the verdict and focused only on the political strategy of immediately appealing and contesting it."

Meanwhile, on the 24th, Busan National University announced that Cho’s daughter, Ms. A, ranked 19th in the document screening including the self-introduction, 3rd in university grades, and 4th in official English test scores. However, on the 1st, after Busan National University instructed the Admission Fairness Management Committee to reanalyze Ms. A’s university grades, it was revealed that her grade ranking was 24th, not 3rd.
