Cho Min, the daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, has been sharing her daily life continuously through social networking services (SNS) such as Instagram. Meanwhile, some supporters have drawn attention by urging her to be more reserved, saying she appears to be "resting too much and healing."


While traveling in the United States, Cho posted photos and videos of her trip on Instagram on the 20th, sharing her recent status with the caption, "A rainbow I happened to see, amazing, got completely tanned."

The post received over 23,000 likes and more than 600 comments. Most of the comments were supportive, but a shift in sentiment among some supporters was noticeable. One supporter said, "I support you, but perhaps now it would be better to stop seeking peace of mind and show us that you are focusing on something other than medical work," adding, "Most people who sympathize with former Minister Cho, his wife, and daughter are those who, inevitably, endure sadness and anger day by day in this Republic of Korea, struggling through these hot days."


The supporters seem to imply that it is inappropriate to post only "healing" content on Instagram while others are living difficult lives. Under her post, some supporters criticized the commenter, saying, "How dare you tell Cho Min what to do," and "What right does a young girl have to bear all the burdens of the Republic of Korea?"


In response, the commenter explained, "We are on the same side. However, I just think it would look better if Cho Min helped those who need a helping hand," adding, "But then again, it might seem insincere like Mrs. Kim Geon-hee, so that’s also ambiguous."



Amid the comment fight among supporters, Cho herself stepped in to calm the situation. She wrote in a comment, "I respect all opinions," and added, "I hope no one gets hurt by the comments."
