Cho Kook, former Minister of Justice's wife, Dongyang University professor Jeong Gyeong-shim, was sentenced to four years in prison in the first trial on charges of irregularities in the entrance examination of his children. I am getting attention.



Pusan ​​National University has previously stated that on the 23rd, the day of the sentence of the first trial of Professor Jeong, "The final decision of the court must be made before it can be deliberated on whether to cancel the admission of Professor Jeong's daughter.



Professor Chung's side has immediately announced its intention to appeal.



Professor Jeong, who was charged with 15 charges, took one year and four months to receive a first trial judgment.



Whatever the outcome of the second trial, there is a high possibility that the prosecution or the defendant will appeal, and the trial is expected to be prolonged.



Cho, who passed the Pusan ​​National University Medical Examination in 2014, is currently enrolled in 4th grade after being paid several times and taking a leave of absence.



He is currently taking the 2nd semester of the 4th year, and it is known that he will graduate in February next year if he is taking regular classes without being paid or taking a leave of absence.



If the court's final sentence is prolonged, there is a possibility that Jo will graduate in the meantime.



The problem is when Cho's final court ruling after graduation recognizes Professor Jeong's irregularities in the entrance examination, such as forgery of the Tong Yang University citation.



Hae-young Kim, head of the Busan National University Admissions Headquarters, said, "We will follow the precedent for canceling high school graduation and Yura Jung, the daughter of Choi Soon-sil, whose admission to the university was canceled due to bad admission." Said.



He added, "However, it is not easy to predict when a final court ruling has not yet come out."



The Seoul Central District Court Criminal Division 25-2 (Judge Lim Jeong-yeop Kwon Seong-soo, Deputy Judge Kim Sun-hee) sentenced Professor Jeong to four years in prison yesterday for charges related to child entrance exams and private equity investments. One fact is fully acknowledged, and the internship confirmation is also false.”



Cho applied for the Graduate School of Medicine at Pusan ​​National University in 2014, received a service award from the president of Dongyang University, and submitted a self-introduction letter stating that he completed an internship at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and was finally accepted.



Meanwhile, the Korean Pediatrics and Adolescents Medical Association announced today that it is filing an application for a temporary injunction to suspend the validity of taking the written examination for the National Medical Examination Examination against Mr. Cho until the final decision of the entrance examination corruption trial.
