Suspicion of directing the ‘photo of the return of the cake’ of the homeland, a Facebook account published in a year …

Former attorney general Cho Guk denied the suspicion that a photograph used as his symbol was produced after a year.

Cho returned to his apartment in Bangbae-dong, Seoul, around 9 p.m. on September 25 last year, when he was Minister of Justice. He carried a backpack on his left shoulder and a cake in his right hand. In fact, this day was not the birthday of Jo’s daughter, Jo Min (according to the resident record), but the day after the birthday. Also, on the 25th, ‘MLB Park’, a community site that ‘verified’ that Mr. Cho was a previous user, said: “If I took a picture of the back of my homeland carrying a birthday cake (in her daughter’s birthday), she would have exploded with emotions in synergy with mother’s social networks. The post was published.

However, when the scene of Mr. Cho’s return was exposed to the media, his followers made the image in black and white and broadcast it, and also made it as a t-shirt or flag pattern in the so-called ‘Rally of Protection of the Fatherland ‘. In some cases, Jo himself uploaded the image to his Facebook profile for a while and then downloaded it.

On the 27th, Mr. Cho explained on Facebook that it was not an address, referring to the name of the journalist who was handling the content at the time. He said: “Reporter OOO quoted me on September 25, 2019. At 1:30 pm, the Internet community site” MB Park “was posted on” What if the birthday of the daughter of the motherland of yesterday … I haven’t even seen the writing. In addition to the drudgery of official duties as a minister, I was reading the article on a baseball site in a situation where my family was under investigation, “he wrote.” The Minister Justice did not have time to read the article on the site, “he said.” The imagination is amazing. “There was no explanation why I bought the cake after my birthday.

There was also controversy over whether Mr. Cho’s daughter’s birthday was actually September 25. In August 2014, Jo’s daughter changed her resident registration date of birth from ‘February 1991’ to ‘September’ of the same year. At that time, he was in the process of being admitted to the Pusan ​​National University doctor.

When a suspicion about this arose in the “Jungkuk of the Fatherland” in August last year, Mr. Cho said through the Ministry of Justice: “It was a change of resident registration to coincide with the actual birthday.”

According to Mr. Cho’s explanation, it means that “the birth was registered 7 months before a person was born.” Also, according to Representative Kwak Sang-do of the Korean Liberal Party at the time, in 2007, when he was a freshman at Hanyoung Foreign Language High School, when his birthday was announced in September at an alumni cyber cafe. commented: “That’s February.”

Suspicion of ‘directing plagiarism’ rather than ‘simple directing’ also arises with regard to the image of Mr. Cho’s return.

In 2015, during the Park Geun-hye administration, when Yoo Seung-min, then the leader of the Saenuri Party, was pressured to resign from the president and his relatives for criticizing the government, he was exposed to the media after buying bread at high prices. hours of the night. There was a time, because ‘the appearance of holding a bread in the right hand and lowering the head in front of the elevator’ was the same as Cho’s. However, compared to the former hospital representative Yoo, Jo was a bit outside the elevator door and in a better place to take pictures.
