Content of Traveling to Gangwon-do with an Acquaintance Released
Jogi-sook "Sending Mom to Prison and Then Like That..."
Cho Min, the daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, shared a travel vlog on YouTube showing herself driving a friend's car and visiting a cafe together.
On the 30th, Cho uploaded a video titled "'Domestic Travel' Gangwon-do Goseong Part 1!! The Parasol's Chaos" on her YouTube channel 'Jjomin minchobae'. The video captured her trip to Goseong, Gangwon-do with an acquaintance.
In the video, Cho visits popular Gangwon-do eateries with her friend, enjoying dishes like makguksu and steamed skate, and rushes to secure a good seat at a cafe with a scenic view of Seoraksan Ulsan Rock.

Cho said, "The cafe opens at 8 a.m., but I heard you have to be there by 7:40 to get a good seat," and added, "This is my first time doing a cafe open run," as she took the wheel.
The car logo captured at the steering wheel was Mercedes-Benz, and Cho introduced it with a subtitle saying, "A self-made friend's classy car."
In a video released on the 23rd, Cho drove a car with the word 'FIAT' engraved in English inside a red circle. Although the exterior was not shown, the interior suggested it was a third-generation Fiat 500.
Previously, Cho Kuk’s side filed a lawsuit seeking damages worth around 300 million won against the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) for defamation, claiming false information such as "Cho’s daughter drives a red foreign car." They won the case. At that time, Cho appeared as a witness and stated, "I have never driven a foreign or sports car," and added, "My father drives a domestic car, but there was a perception that his daughter, who is not good at studying, drives a foreign car, which was difficult to endure."
Because of this, after the video released on the 23rd, there was much speculation about the owner of the car Cho was driving. It is presumed that in this new video, she clearly stated it was a "friend’s car."
Cho Gisuk: "Sending Mom to Prison... Is She That Immature?"
Meanwhile, Cho announced on the 12th via her YouTube channel that she would share her daily life and more. As of 9 a.m. on the 31st, her subscriber count exceeded 166,000.
However, concerns have been raised about Cho’s activities. Cho Gisuk, a professor at Ewha Womans University Graduate School of International Studies and former Blue House spokesperson during the late President Roh Moo-hyun’s administration, appeared on KBS Radio’s 'Joo Jin-woo Live' on the 29th and commented on Cho’s active public presence on social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube. She said, "(Cho Min) sent her mother to prison because of her own college entrance exam, yet says, 'I will live my life happily.' The public sees this and thinks, 'Is there anyone that immature?'"
She added, "Ordinary citizens might say, 'At least live happily,' but when people who are clearly members of the Democratic Party act like that, it causes a huge backlash," and "It’s not a political issue, but it becomes politicized and makes people upset."
