Hello everyone.
It is known that when the daughter of Minister of Health and Welfare candidate Jeong Ho-young took the medical school transfer exam, her acquaintances, that is, her father’s friends, gave high marks.
Suspicion is growing from the son and daughter’s successive medical school transfer controversy to the son’s military service issue.
Candidate Chung completely denied all allegations and announced that he would hold a press conference tomorrow to explain.
Since these are sensitive issues related to ‘fairness’, there are voices of concern within the people’s power that ‘will this be the case’ and ‘it could be a bad news’.
This is reporter Cho Myung-ah.

Oral evaluation, which is the next step in the document screening in the Kyungpook National University medical school transfer exam.
It is a method of subjectively evaluating the answers to two questions, and the daughter of Minister of Health and Welfare Nominee Jeong Ho-young received a perfect score of 20 from three of the nine evaluation committee members.
However, it is known that all three members who gave full marks were acquaintances of candidate Chung.
Professor A, who was the vice dean of Kyungpook National University College of Medicine at the time and alumni of Kyungpook National University College of Medicine, and the other two co-authored several papers with Candidate Chung.
Candidate Chung’s daughter passed the Kyungpook National University Medical School with candidate No. 5, but the difference in score with the unsuccessful was only 6.81 points on the 800-point test.

“(Candidate Ho-young Jeong)’s daughter’s total score is only 6 points different from that of the unsuccessful, but it can only be said that the perfect score of 20 from three acquaintances of her father had a very decisive influence on her success.”
Suspicion of his eldest son’s military service continues.

According to the medical report of Kyungpook National University Medical School, which was submitted to the Military Manpower Administration and judged as a supplementary service, there is a limit to training due to a herniated disc.
However, according to the documents submitted to transfer to medical school, Jung worked 40 hours a week in the lab at the same time as class at the same time, and helped transfer patients at Kyungpook National University Hospital during vacations.

There was also the issue of Chung’s departure for a business trip to the United States when he was the head of the Kyungpook National University hospital.
In 2018 and 2019, I attended the reunion for 4 days and 3 nights in the United States, and even though most of the schedules were golf and cruise trips, I received 13 million won for official business trips.
Candidate Chung strongly denied the allegations, and announced that he would hold a press conference in person tomorrow to explain various controversies.
However, even within the people’s power, concerns are growing that “it could be trapped in the frame of ‘the people’s power of the country'” and “it could act as a bad news ahead of the local elections.”
The People’s Power leadership will discuss the issue of Candidate Chung at the highest level next Monday.
