[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk has filed a request for a suspension of the execution of the cancellation of his daughter's admission by Pusan National University, calling the decision "too harsh."

On the 5th, Cho stated on his Facebook, "My daughter Cho's representative submitted a request for a suspension of the execution to halt the effect of Pusan National University's admission cancellation decision until the final judgment on the main case is confirmed."

He claimed, "Pusan National University conducted its own investigation and stated, 'Cho listed four experiences on the application and did not submit supporting documents, only submitting certificates of commendation. The logic that if the problematic experiences were not listed or certificates not submitted, she would have failed is not valid.'

Former Minister Cho emphasized, "Nevertheless, canceling the admission based on experiences that have no impact on the acceptance decision and ultimately invalidating the medical license is an excessively harsh punishment for the applicant."

Pusan National University announced that it held a faculty meeting in the afternoon and made the final decision to cancel Cho's admission to the Graduate School of Medicine. The university notified the legal representative of the cancellation decision by phone and plans to send written notice to both the party involved and the legal representative.

Pusan National University explained, "The admission guidelines announced by the university are a public promise, and it is of utmost importance to comply with them. The new student recruitment guidelines clearly state that submitting false documents will result in admission cancellation. Following a court ruling that the certificate of commendation from Dongyang University’s president was forged or false, the university made the final decision to cancel the admission in accordance with the recruitment guidelines."
