Her contribution, which is known to be her brief internship in the institute, came into question as to whether she properly participated in the internship program. A research director in KIST was sacked for his role in falsifying documents related to Cho Min's internship. KIST announced it will launch a full investigation of all individuals honored in the memorial, and remove any names who did not meet a preset standard. On December 31, 2019, KIST announced it will remove the names of all workers who quit within a month without pay. Cho Min was contracted to work at KIST as a student researcher for a month and received a work certificate. However, in a subsequent investigation, it was found that she only worked for two days. Based on this criterion, 23 names will be removed from the KIST memorial, including Cho Min.
218:. His wife's offices were put under search and seizure to obtain evidence. The President of Dongyang University, Choi Sung-hae, has denied ever awarding her such an award. Choi further added that, after leaving the prosecutor's office, as an educator, he cannot out of good conscience lie and, furthermore, the certificate number on the award in question (which appears to come with an official stamp from his office) is not in line with what his office officially utilises. The official award numbers start with "000"; the number on the allegedly fake certificate started with a "1". This indicates that there was fraud involved because the stamp itself seems similar to the official one. Most noteworthy is that this fake certificate, among other questionable awards in Cho's daughter's name, were used by Cho's family to apply for various top universities.
187:, they were in search of evidence related to Cho's daughter's suspicious academic achievements, including a pathology paper, "eNos Gene Polymorphisms in Perinatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy". The paper was published in an international medical research journal, listing her as the primary author even though she was only a high school student. The medical paper was later retracted due to violations of ethical guidelines. A senior association of medical experts in South Korea condemned the paper as one of the most serious cases of academic misconduct in South Korean history and compared it to the

"A survey of some 1,800 SNU students conducted by the online student community SNULife and released on 15 August, found that 95% of students said Cho was 'not fit for the justice minister position at all'".

On 10 September 2019, shortly after Cho Kuk's nomination hearing, Cho Kuk's wife, Chung Kyung-sim, was officially indicted for forgery of a document by the prosecutor's office.
