Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk.

[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk recently expressed his wish for some supporters to "withdraw" their proposal to establish a hospital for his daughter, Cho Mo (30), who failed the resident selection twice.

On the 21st, Cho posted on his Facebook, "There have been media reports that my daughter failed the resident selection. Regardless of her grades, it seems to have been a great 'burden' on the hospital."

He continued, "Afterwards, supporters of prosecutorial reform posted about building a 'Candlelight General Hospital,' and some media mocked it by calling it 'Cho Kuk Hospital.' I appreciate the heart of the person who made the proposal, but I would like them to withdraw such a suggestion."

He added, "Our family is humbly and modestly dealing with various lawsuits in courts and schools," and "We intend to calmly dispute the facts and legal principles while walking through a dark tunnel."

Earlier, on the 19th, a proposal was posted on the SNS account of 'People Who Love Cho Kuk,' a group of supporters, suggesting building a hospital for Cho's daughter, who failed the resident selection exam. The author said, "Cho is repeatedly failing the medical resident exam due to obstruction by corrupt forces. Let's raise a fund to establish a hospital and become shareholders."

Meanwhile, Cho's daughter applied for the emergency medicine residency at Myongji Hospital in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, in mid-December last year but was rejected. She also applied for the additional recruitment of emergency medicine residents at Gyeongsang National University Hospital, which closed on the 13th, but was not accepted.
