According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare on the 20th, the ministry sent a prior administrative disposition notice and hearing guidance to Cho last month on the 17th. Although the hearing was originally scheduled for the 15th, Cho did not attend, so the hearing will be conducted in writing.

A ministry official stated, "We plan to receive a written statement from Cho and send it to the hearing chairperson (an external expert and lawyer). Considering the statement, the hearing chairperson will prepare an opinion letter, which will then be submitted." After completing the related procedures, the disposition is expected within next month.

Earlier in April, the Busan District Court ruled that the cancellation of admission by Busan National University against Cho’s lawsuit requesting the cancellation of the revocation of admission to the medical graduate school was justified. Although Cho appealed, she did not request a suspension of execution, so the suspension period granted in the first trial ended, and the cancellation of admission took effect on May 7.

On the same day, Cho wrote on her Instagram, "I feel responsible for the social controversy caused by me and, with a reflective heart, I will complete only the planned volunteer activities and then cease all medical activities and return my medical license."
