Dankook University, whose professor is in charge of the thesis, also held an investigation ethics committee today (22). The issue is how the daughter of a motherland candidate, who was also a high school humanities, could be the first author of a medical thesis, but it may be over five months before the final conclusion is reached.

Dankook University Research Ethics Committee began at 10:30 am today and lasted for almost 3 hours.

Our country's Attorney General, daughter Cho Mo, has undertaken a preliminary investigation into how she is listed as the first author of a research paper.

[Kang, Nae-Won / Director of Dankook University: I have almost decided how to proceed with the scope of the allegations reported in the media in future investigations.]

The main issue of the survey is how Cho's daughter became the first author.

Dankook University defines the act of authorizing thesis author as a research misconduct for the purpose of expressing or appreciating those who have not made scientific or technical contributions.

If the Dankook University Research Ethics Committee judges that the author of the thesis has been wrongly presented, Korea University is likely to consider whether Cho's admission process was justified based on the results.

However, it may take a month and a half before the results of a preliminary investigation by the Dankook University Ethics Committee and more than five months before the final conclusion is reached.

In addition, Mr. Cho's graduate school of medical science also started an internal investigation to see if there were any problems with the admission process.

Pusan ​​National University states that "admission is canceled if it is found that the student has entered the school in an unfair way."
