She then introduced, "However, President-elect Yoon said that 'there must be certain negative facts'".
Spokesperson Bae said, "We will watch all of these things, and above all, we will listen to the opinions of the people, whether he can convince the public by explaining exactly whether Chung has committed any crimes or misconduct."
Spokesperson Bae also said, "I compare him a lot with Jo Min (daughter of former Attorney General Jo Kuk), but a clear case of forgery and falsification of his academic background has been confirmed in front of the public. It's a very important issue," he said.
She continued, "When I meet with reporters today and explain, I wonder if there has been any legal action that is not in line with the common sense of the people. Since there has been no explanation so far, we judge that the case is different." said.
