At the parliamentary confirmation hearing that day, nominee Jo responded to a question from Lee Gwanghee, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, saying, "In 2014, the lease deposit had not been returned, and in 2015, this happened when my wife's nephew entered university."

When Representative Lee said, "This is a clear violation of current law. It is stipulated that one shall be punished by imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to 30 million won," nominee Jo replied, "I am aware."

When Representative Lee pointed out, "Nominee Jo is crossing the line of the law. You do not go easy on criminals, do you?" nominee Jo stated, "I should be reprimanded for that part."
