In the video titled "I prepared ambitiously," Cho answered the question "Will you take political classes?" by saying, "At the moment, I am not interested in politics. People might think I am benefiting from being my father's daughter. I believe much more capable people than me will change policies. For now, please consider that the possibility of me entering politics is almost none."

There was also a question asking if she had undergone plastic surgery. Cho replied, "I get this question quite often, but I don't know why there are suspicions about plastic surgery," adding, "I have not had any plastic surgery anywhere yet."

She mentioned past photos, saying, "My graduation photo from the third year of middle school has been circulating in communities," and explained, "I was at my heaviest weight ever in the third year of middle school. There is an 8kg difference compared to now, and I have been suffering from suspicions that I changed everything from head to toe based on that."

Regarding income from her YouTube channel, she said, "After paying the editor's fee, I don't actually take much for myself," but added, "Since the number of subscribers has increased a lot, external advertisements have come in frequently, and I use the advertising fees for living expenses."

Recently, Cho posted a video introducing a red ginseng product as her first paid advertisement on the channel, but it was set to private after the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety judged it as a "misleading advertisement to consumers."

To the question, "I have an impulse to take revenge on someone who betrayed me; how do you handle it?" she answered, "From my experience, people who commit wrongdoings inevitably get punished in the end," and added, "I want to say that even if I don't take revenge myself, the world takes revenge on my behalf."

About her personality, she said, "I tend not to worry. I'm the type to think 'whatever will be, will be,'" and added, "Even if something bad happens, I forget it quickly. If I make a mistake, I just think 'Well, anyone can make mistakes, and if I made one, I can fix it.'"

Cho recently published her first essay titled "I am Moving Forward Today as Well." In the essay, she talked about why she had an average grade in the 1-point range while attending the medical school at Pusan National University, the controversy over "riding a Porsche," and her reasons for social media activities.

Meanwhile, former Minister Cho Kuk is serving a two-year prison sentence in the first trial for charges related to his children's admission fraud and covering up Blue House inspections, with the appeal trial ongoing. Cho Min, his daughter, was indicted in August on charges of admission fraud.

His spouse, former Dongyang University professor Jung Kyung-shim, was sentenced to prison for charges including children's admission fraud and was paroled on the 27th of last month.

Choi Kang-wook, former Democratic Party lawmaker who was on trial for writing a false internship certificate for Cho Kuk's son, lost his seat last month after his suspended prison sentence was finalized. This came 3 years and 9 months after being indicted in January 2020.
