[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] The Central Administrative Appeals Commission under the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission has dismissed the administrative appeal filed by Cho Min, daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, who claimed that the cancellation of her admission to Pusan National University was unjust.

According to materials received by Rep. Im Eija of the People Power Party from the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission on the 14th, the Appeals Commission ruled to "dismiss" the administrative appeal filed by Cho on the 6th.

A dismissal ruling means that after reviewing the case, the Appeals Commission determined that the appellant's claims were unfounded and that the original administrative action was lawful and appropriate.

Pusan National University confirmed the cancellation of Cho's admission to the Graduate School of Medicine in April this year. This action was taken following the conviction of Jeong Gyeongshim, former professor at Dongyang University and spouse of former Minister Cho Kuk, for involvement in admission fraud related to their child.

Cho has filed a provisional injunction to suspend the effect of the admission cancellation and a lawsuit seeking nullification of the cancellation at Pusan National University, and the trial is currently ongoing. However, the Appeals Commission's decision does not serve as direct evidence affecting the court proceedings.
