Jeong Kyung-shim, a former professor at Dongyang University, the spouse of former Justice Minister Cho Kuk, who is imprisoned on charges such as corruption in children's entrance exams, is receiving treatment at the hospital due to ill health.
Professor Jeong Jeon had problems with her health yesterday (the 9th) and was transferred to an outside hospital, and it is understood that she is currently awaiting the results of a detailed examination.
Professor Jeong, who was handed over to trial on charges of corruption in her children's entrance exams and violation of the Capital Market Act related to private equity, was sentenced to four years in prison by the Supreme Court in January.
Professor Jeong's daughter, Jo Min, recently received a decision to cancel her admission to Pusan National University's Graduate School of Medicine and Korea University's School of Environmental and Ecological Engineering.
Cho is dissatisfied with this and has filed an administrative lawsuit.
