[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] Broadcaster Kim Eo-jun claimed that "it is only natural to ask President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol" regarding the cancellation of Cho Min, daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, from her university admission. Earlier, after the decision to cancel Cho's university admission was announced, former Minister Cho wrote on his Facebook, expressing, "I want to ask President-elect Yoon if he is satisfied."

On the 11th, Kim said on his TBS traffic broadcast program 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory,' which he hosts, "Then you have to ask the President-elect," adding, "He (President-elect Yoon) conducted such an investigation when he was Prosecutor General, and that investigation led to his election. From former Minister Cho's perspective, he has no choice but to ask."

He continued, "All public officials have no choice but to apply the same standards that were used to search him," he pointed out.

Kim said, "They suspected power-related corruption, but (nothing came out), and in the end, because of things like the Dongyang University summer vacation volunteer award and experiential learning, the mother went to prison for four years and the daughter ended up with a high school diploma," and he exclaimed, "Who are they supposed to ask?"

Earlier, Pusan National University and Korea University made decisions to cancel Cho's admission on the 5th and 7th, respectively. Pusan National University announced that, as a result of a faculty meeting, they decided to cancel Cho's admission to the medical school, citing as grounds ▲ school regulations and the Basic Administrative Act ▲ the medical school's admission guidelines at the time, which stated that "if false documents are submitted, admission will be canceled."

Korea University also explained in a press release that "the student record submitted by the candidate for the 2010 academic year admission screening was received from the candidate," and "after reviewing it, we confirmed that it contained information judged by court ruling to be false or untrue," and thus resolved to cancel Cho's admission.

Regarding this, former Minister Cho wrote on Facebook on the 8th that he felt "pain like being stabbed in the heart with an awl and having skin peeled off with a sharp knife," expressing his feelings by saying, "As a father, I want to ask President-elect Yoon, 'Are you satisfied now?'"

He said, "Just as I accepted the verdict in my spouse's trial, I will accept the verdict in my daughter's trial," but added, "I only plead for a thorough review of whether there has been excessive infringement of rights."

He also urged, "This is a plan to slaughter my entire family and a great political success resulting from it," and called for, "Now, please apply the same standards to verify me and my family as you do to high-ranking presidential appointees under President Yoon Seok-yeol."
