South Korea Politics · SeoulSouth Korea’s president will pardon jailed former justice minister and liberal ally Cho Kuk this week, officials said Monday, cutting short his two-year sentence for falsifying academic records to help his children enter prestigious schools. The decision will also reinstate Cho’s right to run in elections, likely reviving a political career once seen as having presidential aspirations.
