Guilty of academic fraud participation

Choe Kang-wook, the chief of the minor liberal Open Minjoo Party, leaves the Seoul Central District Court, Thursday, after the court sentenced him to eight months in prison suspended for two years, for fabricating an internship certificate for former Justice Minister Cho Kuk's son in October 2017 while working at a law firm. If the conviction is confirmed at the Supreme Court, he will be deprived of his National Assembly seat. / Yonhap
