Director Yang Jae-woong expressed his official position on the patient's death accident.

Director Yang Jae-woong said in his agency Mystic Story on the 29th that `First of all, regarding the incident that occurred during the hospitalization process at Wjin Hospital, I and all the medical staff cannot hide their terrible feelings, and I sincerely apologize to the bereaved families who are grieving after losing the deceased and their families," he bowed his head.

"This incident occurred at the hospital where I am currently representing myself, and as the head of the hospital at Wjin Hospital, I take this case very seriously."In response to the ongoing investigation, this hospital is doing its best to cooperate with external organizations, including providing CCTVs that contain all the conditions at the time, including medical charts." he said.

In the meantime, "Since the details of the treatment process and occurrence of the deceased are currently under investigation, please refrain from speculative articles and provocative reports about the treatment process. Under the current medical law, medical personnel are obligated to not divulge patient treatment details, so we ask for your understanding that we cannot give you a detailed answer to your questions," he said.

On the 26th, SBS reported that patient A died at a mental hospital located in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do. According to the report, A was admitted to a hospital in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, to treat addiction to diet drugs containing narcotics, but died 17 days after hospitalization. Autopsy showed that the presumed cause of death was intestinal obstruction.

In a CCTV video released by the bereaved family, A knocked on the door to let him leave the isolation room (stable room) clutching his stomach, and a nursing assistant and a guardian gave him a stabilizer and took compulsive measures to tie his hands, feet, and chest to the bed.

Two hours later, when A, whose stomach was swollen, had a nosebleed and gasped, the medical staff only relaxed their compulsion and left the room without any action, and A later died.

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 criminal complaint against the medical staff for abandoned death and filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission of Korea.

Since then, it has been known that the hospital is run by Yang Jae-woong, and some netizens have left malicious comments not only on Yang Jae-woong's SNS but also on Hani's SNS, a bride-to-be.

Meanwhile, Yang Jae-woong admitted to dating Hani of EXID, who is 10 years younger, in 2022. The two, who have been dating publicly for four years, will get married in September.
