Candidate Dong-Hun Han’s eldest daughter is a high school student and has also published a thesis at a prestigious international conference.
The co-author I wrote this time was also the candidate’s daughter’s ‘online tutor’.
This is reporter Park Yoon-soo’s report.

This is a five-page thesis presented by the eldest daughter of Justice Minister candidate Han Dong-hoon at the ‘Association of Electrical and Electronic Engineers’ online conference in February.
It is titled ‘Performance Analysis of Depression Rates Using a Machine Learning Approach’ and states that it was written with a researcher from a university in Bangladesh.
This is the profile of co-author Maria Sultana Keya, a researcher, freelancer, and entrepreneur.
He introduced himself as a master’s degree student in computer science, but he left an online link last year saying he was doing a short-term part-time job.
When I clicked on it, I was connected to the American website that connects professional freelancers.
It is not difficult to find brokers who will write a thesis for you.
I made a call to the Bangladeshi co-author with the contact information written on the SNS.
The connected person is the husband of this co-author who is engaged in the same activity in the same major,
He said his spouse had been an online tutor for the daughter of a candidate for a year.

“She was an online tutor for Ms. Han, so she might write a thesis.”
When I asked if money was transferred during the writing of the thesis, he said that he might not answer that part.

“It’s our secret, so I can’t tell you.”
Also, when I asked how I got to know Mr. Han and what contribution he made to the writing process, I did not answer any further and cut off contact.
An expert in the domestic artificial intelligence field said, “It is not at a level that high school students cannot write, but it seems that they are borrowing the name of an international society and using it to build specifications.”
One candidate’s side sent a reply saying, “We cannot give a specific answer regarding the detailed activities of the underage children who were not involved in the candidate.”
