Yang Jae-woong, are you going back to work to avoid the bereaved family? 'Even if you demonstrate, you won't look at it.' Fury of bereaved families of deceased patients
While famous psychiatrist Yang Jae-woong (42) apologized for the patient's death at his hospital, the bereaved family said "It's not a sincere apology, so I can't accept it." In addition, some claim that Yang Jae-woong went to work through the back door of the hospital to avoid the bereaved families, questioning his sincerity.

In an interview with Hankyoreh on the 30th, the victim's mother said, `Even though you know the phone number of the bereaved family, you should never come to the front and talk through a lawyer, let alone an apology, but since the case is reported in the media, you are playing the media belatedly.' He added "I can't accept it because it's not a sincere apology."

Earlier on May 27, a female patient who was hospitalized at a psychiatric center in Bucheon run by Yang Jae-woong died.

A 33-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital on May 10 to treat diet drug addiction, but she finally died in 17 days.

The released CCTV showed A clutching his swollen abdomen and complaining of pain. Mr. A, bound to the bed, lost consciousness while bleeding and gasping, eventually leading to his death. The autopsy showed that the cause of death was presumed to be a pseudo intestinal obstruction.

Compared to the time of admission, the bereaved family did not receive medical treatment from the internal medicine doctor of the hospital as well as other hospitals, even though the patient's stomach was severely swollen"It's obvious that my stomach is weird, but I tied it up in a single room until I died and gave him medicine," he said. Accordingly, the bereaved families filed a complaint with the police last month against medical staff on charges of abandonment and professional negligence.

As the report became a hot topic, Yang Jae-woong wrote in his agency Mystic Story on the 29th, more than two months after A's death, saying, `I cannot hide my terrible feelings and sincerely apologize to the bereaved families who are saddened by the loss of the deceased and their families," he said.

Then "As the head of the hospital, I take this case very seriously. In the ongoing investigation, the hospital is doing its best to cooperate with external organizations, including providing CCTVs that contain all the circumstances at the time, including medical charts. We will cooperate as much as possible with the future investigation and faithfully perform our responsibilities according to the medical and legal judgment."

However, not only the public but also the bereaved family cannot accept such an apology. In particular, some online communities even claimed that Yang Jae-woong commuted through the back door of the hospital to avoid meeting the bereaved families. The public has responded that it is difficult to trust his sincerity.

In addition, criticism intensified when Yang Jae-woong and his lover Hani announced their marriage on May 31, just four days after the patient's death.

At the time, Hani announced the news of the wedding by hand-written letter, saying, `I have decided to get married.'

Hani was so lucky that she was loved by many people. I grew up well after eating that love, and I grew up well as a person who could share love"Thank you for raising me so well."," he said.

Then he said "And I met someone I wanted to share my life with."That's why I decided to get married. I will always live happily with a grateful heart. We are deeply grateful to everyone who congratulated us."

When the fact became known, he said he had abandoned his courtesy to the deceased and their bereaved families, and malicious comments were also pouring out on social media.

Meanwhile, Yang Jae-woong is about to marry Hani (real name Ahn Hee-yeon, 32), an actor from the group EXID who is 10 years younger.
