Final Ruling on Cho Kuk Confirmed by Supreme Court on 12th
After Verdict Confirmation, Malicious Comments Flood Cho Min's SNS
Former leader of the Innovation Party, Cho Kuk, was sentenced to two years in prison by the Supreme Court on the 12th for charges related to his children's admission fraud and covering up Blue House inspections. Amid this, malicious comments continued to flood the social media accounts of Cho's daughter, Cho Min. Recently, Cho Min expressed her stance, stating, "I completely respect whatever my father does or whatever path he takes."
Jo Min, who was sentenced to a fine of 10 million won in the first trial for allegations of entrance exam fraud around last March, is leaving the Seoul Central District Court building.
On the 10th, Cho Min uploaded a video titled "The Last Counseling Session of 2024" on her YouTube channel. In the video, she said, "There are many people telling me to tell my father to do this or that. Conversely, there are also many people telling my father to tell Min to do this or that," adding, "My father is a public figure, and now that my face is known and my communication channels are active, I think that's why."
She continued, "Our family is maintained with complete respect. I fully respect what my father does, and my father fully respects what I do. I think this is a healthy family relationship," and added, "I respect whatever my father does or whatever path he takes. Because my father respects me, I am truly sorry, but it would be much better if you give advice or feedback about my father directly to him rather than to me. Even if you tell me, it won't be conveyed."
Former leader of the Innovation Party, Cho Kuk, who was sentenced to 2 years in prison by the Supreme Court on charges including 'child admission corruption' and 'cover-up of Blue House inspection,' is holding a press conference at the National Assembly on the 12th.
Meanwhile, on the 12th, the Supreme Court confirmed the original sentence of two years in prison for former leader Cho, who was indicted on charges including bribery and abuse of power. This is about five years after the 'Cho Kuk incident.' Accordingly, Cho lost his parliamentary seat. Following this, Cho Min's social media was flooded with malicious comments such as "Shame on you," "Take good care of your father in prison," "You need to work hard in business to send money to your father," and "Congratulations on your father's prison sentence."
In response, Cho Min said, "I don't get hurt much even when I see malicious comments," and added, "Rather, I feel sorry for those who leave such malicious comments." She further expressed, "I don't even know those people, so how little do they have to do, how unrecognized must they be in their daily lives to curse and try to boost their self-esteem? I can't empathize with people who behave below common sense."
