It was also confirmed that the daughter of the fatherland candidate used the dissertation in question during the process of entering Korea University. So, if the paper itself is canceled, or if Joe loses his qualification as a first author, will he also cancel his or her admission to college? .

This is reporter Jung Kyung-yoon.

In the self-introduction letter submitted by the daughter of my country's candidate, Cho, during the 2010 Korea University Admissions Program, "My name was listed in the paper as a result of the Dankook University internship."

The details were also recorded in Cho's student life record.

At the time, Mr. Cho applied for the screening process in two stages. The first stage was decided only by documents such as self-introductions and student life records submitted by applicants.

If the document is found to have been forged or altered, it will be rejected.

After the controversy over admissions, Mr. Cho sent clarifications.

Since he did not specify in his cover letter that he was the first author of the dissertation and did not submit a dissertation, he insisted that the information that he had written on his application was not wrong.

In response, the Korea University only provided a fundamental response that if a serious defect was found, it could be canceled by Jo through his own review process.

The online community has heralded a candlelight rally calling on Mr. Cho to cancel his degree, and the controversy over Mr. Cho's admission is likely to continue for the time being.

Let's take a closer look with reporter Chung Kyung-yoon who is covering this content.

Q. What is the issue of college cancellation?

[Reporter Chung Kyung-yun: The paper that Mr. Cho participated in was presented at Dankook University, so based on the findings of the Dankook University Ethics Committee, we will deliberate on the issue of cancellation at Korea University. The most important issue is the author, qualification. Today (21st), the preparations for the Homeland Candidate Personnel Hearings emphasized that Mr. Cho wrote a paper on his case but did not say that he was the first author, nor did he submit a thesis. College admission will not be canceled, which is the logic. However, if this thesis goes to cancellation, it can be canceled as there was a similar case in the past because "major defect" was found in the expression of Korea University. So I think we should watch the results of Dankook University.]

Q. Suspicious Graduate Scholarship?

[Reporter Chung Kyung-yun: The non-speakable part was covered today. As you said, after he graduated from Korea University, he went to Seoul National University Graduate School and left only two semesters. A total of 8 million won was paid. Normally, when a student applies for a scholarship to the department, the department will review the department and notify the scholar. In our report, Mr. Cho has never applied for a scholarship. Also, the school has never recommended Joe. Then we went to the scholarship foundation that paid the scholarship and we answered that we could not check because there was no data left. As you know, Joe dropped out of the second semester of Seoul National University and went on to become a medical school at Pusan ​​National University, which was controversial after three years of scholarship despite failing grades. This time, however, it seems more controversial to receive a scholarship that I have not applied for. I think this part should be answered by SNU, and I need more thanks.]

Q. A lot of people point out that things don't fit the people's eyes.

[Reporter Chung Kyung-yoon: The country's candidate is no legal problem, but in fact, the university community just mentioned, there is a lot of public writing. In addition, the Blue House petition has been posted, especially since this is a problem about the fairness of college entrance examination, there are a lot of expressions such as 'community in the youth'. Particularly this week's candlelight vigils are foreseen, and interest in this issue will continue.]
