There was also a reason to doubt the master's degree itself online. This is an unconfirmed article by a person who introduced himself, "I worked as a secretary at the Incheon Economic Office and oversaw foreign educational institutions."
The author wrote, "There is something suspicious. Joo XX did a master's degree in LLM at Ghent University in 2022, but there was no master's program at Ghent University."
LLM, called a Master of Law, is a one-year education program in which people who majored in law abroad can participate.
The author said, "It's strange that I have provided subsidies (to schools in Songdo) every year and I am in charge of research at Ghent University. If there were such a program, numerous Incheon officials would have attended, but that was not the case. Rather, I suggested it to the school."
Citing Ghent University's characteristics, he also added that it would have been difficult for Joo to obtain a degree. The author emphasized, "Ghent University is not at the level of taking classes while working because of its strict interdisciplinary system. I'm in a tight spot because I can't even graduate from undergraduate school."
Ghent University, a state-run institution in Ghent, Belgium, is one of the world's most prestigious universities that specializes in research. It ranks 38th in the world in life sciences and 70th in the university's evaluation.
Another reason for raising suspicions about a master's degree is Naver's profile.
One netizen posted a picture of lawmaker Joo's Naver profile and paid attention to the revised date, emphasizing, "Ghent University disappeared from the profile. I changed it slightly because I thought it would be caught."
At the bottom of Naver's profile, it is written that "the information can be modified through self-participation in the information managed by the person himself or his representative." It is written that lawmaker Joo's profile was revised to "self-participation" on the 9th. This day was five days after President Lee Jae-myung nominated lawmaker Kim Min-seok as a candidate for prime minister on the 4th.
The profile I saw has changed in the meantime.
I wasn't actually looking for what kind of university it was, but I just thought it was very strange.
However, after correcting in the meantime, as if the other party were spreading false information
We're fighting back.
Personally, I think it's time for a full investigation into the first-term lawmakers of the National Assembly, who have been labeled pro-Yoon.
Perhaps illegal or tax evasion in the formation of such false backgrounds or property
I think there could be a lot.
It may be an unnecessary brain statement, but from their behavior, it seems to be a good enough guess.
