[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] The YouTube channel 'Garosero Research Institute (Gaseyeon)' attempted to interview Cho Mo, the daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, at the hospital where she works. Former Minister Cho strongly criticized Gaseyeon, which released the video despite Cho’s refusal to be filmed, calling it a "trash-like evil act."

In a video released on the 18th, Gaseyeon said they received a tip that Cho was working as a doctor at a hospital and decided to visit in person to verify.

When Kim Se-ui, the head of Gaseyeon, asked, "Since Cho’s admission to the Busan National University (Medical School) will soon be canceled, shouldn’t she not be practicing as a doctor?" lawyer Kang Yong-seok replied, "I understand that the procedure to revoke her medical license is underway, but she is still officially a doctor for now." Busan National University decided on the 5th to cancel Cho’s admission to the 2015 academic year medical school, but on the 18th, the court partially accepted Cho’s request to suspend the execution of the cancellation. As a result, Cho can maintain her graduation qualification for up to 30 days after the first trial verdict, and her medical license will be maintained temporarily.

In the video, Kim, accompanied by a cameraman, entered the hospital and spotted Cho in the elevator, following her to the staff cafeteria. When Cho received her meal and sat at a table, Kim asked, "I came to ask you something. Have you been coming here for about a month?" Cho expressed refusal to be filmed, saying to the camera, "Is this a hidden camera? I do not consent to filming, so please stop."

Cho then asked Kim, "Are you from Gaseyeon?" and repeated, "This is the staff cafeteria. Filming here is not allowed. Please put the camera away." When Kim continued to ask, "Have you been coming here since about a month ago?" Cho called a hospital staff member and said, "They are not staff," and had Kim and his group removed.

On the 19th, former Minister Cho posted on Facebook, referring to a broadcaster who previously tried to interview at Cho’s daughter’s home, saying, "They came to knock on the door of my daughter’s room where she lives alone, and Gaseyeon trespassed into the hospital staff cafeteria where my daughter works, pointed cameras at her, and tried to interview. The mainstream media reported this as entertainment. I cannot help but call this a trash-like evil act. These so-called reporters do not do this to the children of officials in the Yoon Seok-yeol government. They are extremely polite and gentle," expressing his outrage.

Former Minister Cho also posted another message on Facebook that day, saying, "(The video of my daughter Cho is) not the only one. They went to the hospital room of Professor Jung Kyung-shim (my wife), who was hospitalized in an external hospital for detailed examination and rest based on the detention center’s judgment, opened the door, uploaded the scene on YouTube, and claimed she was hospitalized due to a headache," appealing, "I believe there will be an end to the vicious acts of those obsessed with receiving Super Chats."

Meanwhile, according to the police on the 18th, Gaseyeon members Kim, lawyer Kang, and YouTuber Kim Yong-ho were sent to the prosecution on charges of defamation related to Cho and Lee In-young, Minister of Unification’s son. They mentioned suspicions about former Minister Cho’s children and allegations of Lee’s son’s military service corruption through their YouTube broadcasts. The police judged all of Gaseyeon’s claims to be false and referred the case to the prosecution on charges of defamation by spreading false information.
