[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Korea University has decided to cancel the admission of Cho Min, the daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk.

On the 7th, Korea University stated, "The Admission Cancellation Review Committee deliberated and resolved to cancel the admission approval of the subject on February 22, 2022, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Higher Education Act and the 2010 academic year admission guidelines."

Korea University said, "We received the 'School Life Record' submitted by the subject for the 2010 academic year admission process," and "Upon review, we confirmed that it contained information that the court ruled to be false or untrue."

Korea University explained, "The approval for the admission cancellation was completed on February 25, and the notification of the result was sent to Ms. Cho on February 28, three days later, and it was confirmed that Ms. Cho received it on March 2."

Korea University formed the Admission Cancellation Review Committee in August last year and reached the conclusion to cancel the admission in February after six months. However, the university publicly announced the admission cancellation review result two days after Pusan National University imposed an administrative disposition to cancel admission to its medical school.

Ms. Cho enrolled in the Department of Environmental Ecology Engineering at Korea University in 2010 and was admitted to the medical school at Pusan National University through early admission in 2015, but her admission was canceled after seven years. Ms. Cho passed the national medical licensing examination in January last year and worked as an intern at Hanil Hospital, but due to the degree cancellation, she is at risk of losing her medical license.
