I understand. Cho was appointed Minister of Justice by then-President Moon in September 2019. He was selected in hopes of reforming the prosecutor's office and breaking down vested interests. However, his daughters and sons were unfairly admitted to prestigious universities.

He added, ``The very scene where such people meet as representatives of both parties shows how abnormal the current South Korean opposition party is.'' On top of that, the newspaper said, ``How good are these two people?''
However, in the end, it means that they want to use the election to exonerate individuals for their wrongdoings and continue to hold onto power."
