[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding the 'Petition Against Admission Cancellation' opposing the decision to cancel the admission of Cho Min, daughter of former Minister Cho Kuk, to Pusan National University, which has gained the support of 350,000 people, the Blue House stated that it "plans to verify whether the related administrative procedures are being properly carried out."

On the 15th, the Blue House responded to the national petition by stating, "Matters concerning student admission and admission cancellation at universities are decided by each university according to their academic regulations in accordance with Article 4 of the Enforcement Decree of the Higher Education Act."

The Blue House added, "Currently, Pusan National University is proceeding with follow-up procedures according to the Administrative Procedures Act," and "The government plans to verify whether Pusan National University is properly conducting the related administrative procedures."

Pusan National University made the decision to cancel Cho's admission to the Graduate School of Medicine on August 24 due to admission-related suspicions. In response, 354,426 citizens agreed with the petition stating that "the admission cancellation decision is invalid based on the presumption of innocence."
