Earlier, in May, Cho launched a YouTube channel under the name ‘jjomin minchobae.’ The channel rapidly grew, currently surpassing 360,000 subscribers.


In September, she published an essay collection titled “I am Moving Forward Today as Well.” Thanks to the purchasing power of supporters of former Minister Cho, the book ranked 5th on the bestseller list in its first week. It later surpassed former Minister Cho’s book Tears of Dike, which had been in 3rd place, to become the number one online bestseller.


Meanwhile, Cho has been engaged in legal battles with the prosecution since attending her first trial related to the admission fraud on the 8th.


At the trial held that day before Judge Lee Kyung-sun of the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 16, Cho’s lawyer stated, “The prosecution only indicted her for using falsified documents, and she admits to those charges.”


However, while admitting the charges, Cho’s side argues that the prosecution’s indictment constitutes an abuse of prosecution rights and that the indictment itself should be nullified.


The lawyer said, “Cho applied to Seoul National University Medical School and Pusan National University Medical School in February 2013 and June 2014, respectively, but the indictment was made in August of this year. She neither fled nor underwent additional investigation, yet the prosecution did not promptly exercise its prosecutorial authority with lawful intent.”



In response, the prosecution countered, “It is only when a prosecutor arbitrarily exercises prosecutorial authority that it constitutes abuse of prosecution rights. Since this is not the case here, the lawyer’s claim has no grounds.” Cho’s next trial date is scheduled for the 26th.
