Jomin Officially Withdraws Lawsuit Against Korea University Following Busan National University Case

Submission of Lawsuit Withdrawal Document to Court on the 24th

Cho Min (32), daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, has withdrawn the lawsuit related to the cancellation of admission against Korea University following the cancellation of her admission to the Pusan National University School of Medicine. As a result, the legal dispute has been concluded while the cancellation of admission to the Department of Environmental Ecology Engineering at Korea University’s College of Life Sciences and the Pusan National University School of Medicine remains in effect.

On the 24th, according to Korea University and the Seoul Northern District Court, Cho’s attorney submitted a withdrawal of the lawsuit seeking nullification of the admission cancellation by Korea University to the Seoul Northern District Court.

After her mother, former Dongyang University professor Jung Kyung-shim, was convicted last January, Cho filed lawsuits against Pusan National University and Korea University after they canceled her admissions, contesting their decisions.

The first hearing for the lawsuit against Korea University was scheduled for the 10th of next month at the Seoul Northern District Court.

Earlier this month, Cho had announced her intention to withdraw the lawsuits against Korea University and Pusan National University regarding the cancellation of admission. On the 7th, she posted on her social media, “I have been contemplating for a long time, but I have finally gathered the courage to take action,” and stated, “I intend to withdraw the ongoing lawsuits concerning the cancellation of admission by Korea University and Pusan National University.”

She added, “I want to abandon everything and return to my original mindset to start anew from the beginning,” and “I will seriously consider my future, aiming to contribute to society with a sense of social responsibility as a citizen of the Republic of Korea.” She submitted a withdrawal of appeal to the Busan High Court on the 10th.
