Former Minister Cho uploaded a link to an internet article in the Gyeonggi Newspaper on the 11th, titled “The Suspicion’Shock’ of Pusan ​​Mayor Park Hyung-joon’s child entrance examination,” and deleted it in the morning of the 12th. The article dealt with the suspicion that candidate Park’s wife asked for a good look at Hongik University professor at the time after the 2008 Hongik University College of Art entrance exam.
