240 Million Won 'Top Seized Money' Jeong Gyeongshim... Jeong Yura "True Creative Economy"

Former Professor Jeong, Over 200 Million Won in Confiscated Funds Over 2 Years

Regarding media reports that former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk's wife, former Dongyang University professor Jung Kyung-shim, received more than 200 million won in prison deposits over two years from supporters, Jung Yura, daughter of Choi Seo-won (formerly Choi Soon-sil), said on the 11th through her Facebook, "A true creative economy soldier."

According to the 'Top 10 Individual Deposit Amounts of Prisoner Deposits at Seoul Detention Center' submitted by the Ministry of Justice to Rep. Yoo Sang-beom of the People Power Party, the prisoner with the highest deposit amount at Seoul Detention Center from January 2021 to the end of February this year was former professor Jung. It was found that she received a total of 241.3 million won.

Earlier, in December last year, a YouTuber supportive of former Minister Cho revealed a photo of former professor Jung receiving an IV drip, along with an address for sending offline letters, instructions for sending online letters, and her bank account number.

It is presumed that supporters of former Minister Cho sent prison deposits to encourage former professor Jung while she is incarcerated. The total amount of her prison deposits is more than twice that of the second place (108 million won) and more than three times that of the third place (73.96 million won).

Former professor Jung was sentenced to four years in prison by the Supreme Court in January last year for charges including forging her daughter's Dongyang University certificate and exerting undue influence on her daughter's college admission (obstruction of business, etc.).

Meanwhile, Kim Geun-sik, former head of vision strategy at the People Power Party, also posted on Facebook on the 10th, saying, "I feel devastated beyond surprise," and added, "While serving time for privileged class college admission fraud, she is increasing her bank balance with hundreds of millions of won in prison deposits. Is this Cho Kuk's version of 'Wise Prison Life'?"
