Jomin, Seoul National University Graduate School Admission Also Canceled...? "Academic Status Processing Under Review"

Seoul National University Begins Assessing Academic Record Management Status at Each University
Expected to Take About 3 Months After Reviewing Related Results

Jo Min (32), the daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, has withdrawn her lawsuit challenging the cancellation of her admission, and Seoul National University has been confirmed to have started identifying the status of academic record processing across its colleges.

According to data submitted by Seoul National University to Jeong Gyeong-hee, a member of the National Assembly's Education Committee from the People Power Party, on the 17th, Seoul National University responded to inquiries about the cancellation procedure of Jo Min's admission to the Graduate School of Environmental Studies by stating, "We are currently proceeding with the necessary procedures according to relevant regulations, such as requesting confirmation of the academic record processing results for the university from which she graduated."

Seoul National University further stated, "We became aware of Jo's submission of the lawsuit withdrawal through media reports on July 24," and added, "Typically, it is expected to take about three months after confirming the academic record processing."

Previously, after the Supreme Court confirmed the guilt of her mother, former Dongyang University professor Jeong Gyeong-shim, in January last year, Jo Min filed and then withdrew lawsuits challenging the cancellation of her admission against Pusan National University Medical School and Korea University.

After withdrawing the lawsuits, Jo Min announced through her social networking service (SNS) account, "I intend to withdraw the ongoing lawsuits regarding the cancellation of admission at Korea University and Pusan National University," adding, "I want to abandon everything and return to my original intention to start anew from the beginning."

During this process, despite Jo Min's admission to Korea University being canceled in October last year, it was reported that Seoul National University's Graduate School of Environmental Studies kept Jo Min, who enrolled in the first semester of 2014, in a 'non-registered dismissal' status and maintained her graduate school acceptance, which sparked controversy. Non-registered dismissal is a measure where a student's name is removed from the academic register due to non-payment of tuition fees.

At that time, Seoul National University explained, "We understand that a lawsuit to confirm the invalidity of the undergraduate admission cancellation has been filed," and added, "If the university cancels the admission of the student without waiting for the outcome of the lawsuit, additional legal disputes such as civil lawsuits and injunction applications to suspend the effect may arise."
