Let's talk in more detail with reporter Kim Deok-hyun who covered this issue.



Q. What are the remaining suspicions surrounding candidate Jung Ho-young?



[Reporter Deok-Hyun Kim: Candidate Jeong gave a little explanation today (17th) focusing on three parts: the transfer process of his children to Kyungpook National University, the co-authoring of his son's thesis, and the physical examination for military service.

However, during the transfer process, two children's volunteer activities were submitted.

Explanations related to this part were a little lacking today.

Candidate Jung explained that there is no need for a request for a hospital service opportunity because anyone can apply for it.

However, the problem is that it is still questionable whether the two children actually faithfully carry out the volunteer activities they submitted.

At the press conference in the afternoon, I was asked if he was willing to submit related evidence, and he replied that the list of commuting records at the time would remain.

Last week, I went down to Kyungpook National University Hospital and met these officials in person, but he replied that he did not leave any photos of his activities at the time.

And we told you yesterday, but when the candidate's son was diagnosed with grade 4 supplementary station, please disclose the original MRI and CT data.

Of course, I explained that I would receive the test again, but the surest way to get rid of the suspicion is to disclose the medical record itself at the time.]



Q. How will the suspicion verification proceed?



[Reporter Deok-Hyun Kim: Candidate Jung requested an investigation by the Ministry of Education on the allegations of transfer admission and preferential treatment itself.

The Ministry of Education also said that once a formal request is received, it will review whether or not to audit itself.

When I asked the Ministry of Education, he explained that it would not be easy to reach a conclusion before the 10th of the next month, when the new government is inaugurated, considering the time it takes for the review and actual inspection.

In addition, it is uncertain whether the re-examination of his son's spine disease will be finalized before the personnel hearing of candidate Chung, as the ruling and opposition parties must agree on the medical institution that received the test.]
