SEOUL -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in's plans to quickly install a former senior secretary as justice minister have been dealt a blow with the indictment Friday night of the nominee's wife over suspicions of improperly aiding their daughter in university admissions.
Moon has intended to put Cho Kuk in the ministerial post swiftly. But the indictment of Cho's wife, who was not arrested, has resulted in growing calls for an explanation.
