ROK Justice Minister, Cho Kuk Resigns Due to Corruption Allegations
The fact that Korean conservatives were able to mobilize so many people to protest against ROK Justice Minister Cho Kuk forced President Moon to have him resign:
In an unexpected move, Justice Minister Cho Kuk offered to resign Monday amid an ongoing probe into corruption allegations involving his family.
“I judged I should not add a burden to the president and the government regarding my family affairs. I think the time has come for me to step down for the successful completion of prosecution reform,” he said in a statement.
“I was mere ‘kindling’ for reforming the prosecution. My role as ‘kindling’ has come to an end.”
President Moon Jae-in formally accepted Cho’s resignation offer, Cheong Wa Dae said. The president signed a related document at 5:38 p.m., Cheong Wa Dae spokesperson Ko Min-jung, said.

The fact that he resigned I think also may mean there must be some good evidence against him to substantiate the corruption charges. It will be interesting to see if prosecutors continue to go after Cho Kuk and his family on the corruption charges now that he has resigned.
I didn’t think Commie Moon had it in him.

The fact you resort to logical fallacy is unsurprising.
Sure cho is boarding a plane to flee korea very soon.
@Flyingsword Cho Kuk should just cross the DMZ.
