[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] A total of eight items, including matters related to off-campus experiential learning, were deleted or corrected from the high school records (saenggibu) of Cho Min, daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk.
According to the office of Hwang Bo-seung-hee of the People Power Party on the 13th, the Academic Performance Management Committee of Han Young Foreign Language High School finalized corrections to Cho Min's saenggibu through four meetings held from February to May this year.
The corrected or deleted contents in Cho Min's saenggibu were eight career records that the court ruled as false or forged during the trial of her mother, former Dongyang University professor Jeong Gyeong-sim.
Six items related to off-campus experiential learning, such as internship experiences, were deleted, along with one misentered career record in another section and one false career among a list of careers in a single sentence.
Neither Cho Min nor her representative attended the Academic Performance Management Committee meetings; the representative submitted a written opinion instead. Even after being notified of the review results, it is reported that no objections have been raised to the school for over a month.
Previously, the Supreme Court recognized former professor Jeong's guilt on charges of submitting false internship certificates and awards, known as the so-called "7 major specs," to her daughter's medical graduate school admission, thereby obstructing the school's admission process, and for using forged official documents or falsified private documents.
Assemblywoman Hwang Bo-seung-hee stated, "It took 1,006 days since the suspicion of fraudulent scholarship receipt at Pusan National University School of Medicine was raised on August 19, 2018, for Cho's fake school records to be corrected," and evaluated this as "a decisive event in which the Moon Jae-in administration and pro-Moon factions, including former Minister Cho Kuk, who boasted moral superiority, collapsed like a sandcastle."
