Cho Jung-sik never gave me 58 million wonAppeals of unfairness over allegations of item trading with incumbent teachers



While star instructor Cho Jung-sik (42) was sent to the prosecution for buying mock test questions for the CSAT for tens of millions of won to an incumbent teacher, he warned of unconfirmed dissemination of false information, claiming 'not guilty'.

On the 11th, Cho Jung-sik, a legal representative for the instructor, said "We announce our official position on the recently reported matter."

He then argued that "the content related to the lecturer Cho Jung-sik, which was recently reported by a media company, contains parts that are different from the facts, which are causing serious damage to the honor and social trust of the lecturer."




The lecturer Cho Jung-sik "The lecturer Cho Jung-sik and our lawyers are confident that it is clear that all charges currently sent to the prosecution are not guilty, and the lecturer Cho Jung-sik has never paid KRW 58 million directly to the teacher in question." he said.

In addition, "The case is currently undergoing strict investigation procedures by the investigative agency, and the judgment on the facts will be clarified through the results of the investigation in the future."

He warned that "We are very sorry that content that is different from the current facts is being distributed indiscriminately without confirmation, and make it clear that we will take all possible legal measures in civil and criminal cases against spreading false information or defaming."
