Jung Yu-ra: "Some People Tell Me to Run, but I Know My Place Well"

Criticism on SNS over Jo Guk and Daughter's Candidacy Rumors
Jo Min: "I Won't Enter Politics, I Haven't Given Up My Dream of Becoming a Doctor"

Choi Seo-won (formerly Choi Soon-sil)'s daughter, Jung Yoo-ra, stated, "Sometimes people tell me to run for office, but I understand my place well," adding, "I don't think I can take a seat in the National Assembly for the sake of my own success or for the country."

This appears to be a criticism of recent remarks from ruling party figures such as Kang Hoon-sik of the Democratic Party and former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won, who mentioned that former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk and his daughter might run in next year's general election.

On the 10th, Jung said on Facebook, "The National Assembly is not a place for children of politicians with no background knowledge or qualifications to step into."

Jung added, "The National Assembly election is not a popularity contest. It is a place to serve the country and the people," and "It is not a place to compete over who has more supporters."

However, Cho Min clearly stated that she has never considered entering politics and will not run in next year's general election. On the afternoon of the 11th, Cho said on Instagram, "There are increasing reports that I might run in next year's general election," adding, "I feel fatigued by the repetition of such reports."

Cho said, "Although the situation is difficult now, I have not given up my dream of living as an emergency medicine doctor and am engaged in medical volunteer work," and despite currently being on trial, she announced, "I will create an active life by trying new things in my own way."
