Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk.

[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk stated that the reason his daughter, Cho Mo (30), failed to become a resident at Myongji Hospital was not due to failing scores.

On the 27th, Cho Kuk posted on his social media (SNS), "I have confirmed that many people are posting false claims on online forums that my daughter failed the resident exam at Myongji Hospital because she scored below the passing mark (less than 40%) on the intern test."

He added, "This is completely untrue. My daughter scored 72 out of 100."

Cho Kuk warned, "If the false posts are not deleted, I will take civil and criminal legal action."

Earlier, it was revealed that Cho Kuk's daughter, Cho, failed the resident recruitment at Myongji Hospital on the 24th.

Last month, Myongji Hospital announced the recruitment of 22 residents for February interns who had completed their internship. Cho, who was interning at Hanil Hospital, applied to the Emergency Medicine Department at Myongji Hospital.

Myongji Hospital planned to hire two residents for this department through this recruitment, but only one candidate, excluding Cho, was selected. There were a total of two applicants, making the competition ratio 1:1.

Meanwhile, on the same day (the 24th), Cho Kuk's spouse, former Dongyang University professor Jung Kyung-shim, collapsed while returning to Seoul Detention Center after her trial and was hospitalized at an external hospital with a concussion.
