Yang Jae-woong, a psychiatrist, expressed his position for the first time regarding a patient's death at a hospital he runs.

Yang Jae-woong In an interview with Hankyoreh published on the 19th, "The patient who was hospitalized for treatment has died. I feel so sorry and sorry for this." "As the hospital director, I feel a deep responsibility. I will continue to reflect on the systemic aspects, including treatment, and the missing part of the patient's ecology in emergency situations." However, the hospital did not admit to negligence. "We do not believe that the treatment team intentionally neglected the patient, as exaggeratedly expressed in the media," he said.

Earlier in May, a woman in her 30s visited a hospital run by Yang Jae-woong to treat diet drug addiction, and died 17 days after hospitalization. CCTV released at the time showed A grabbing his stomach and complaining of pain, but late at night, a nursing assistant and a guardian tied A to bed after feeding him/her medicine.

After that, when A had a nosebleed and gasped, the bond was released within an hour, and the nursing assistant and guardian left the room without any action. They started emergency measures against A, who lost consciousness, but in the end, A died. As a result of the autopsy, the cause of death of A was estimated to be a pseudo intestinal obstruction. The bereaved family of A filed a criminal complaint against the medical staff for abandoned death and filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission of Korea. The police booked the CEO and employees for violating the medical law and launched an investigation.

In this regard, Yang Jae-woong said, "I heard that the bereaved family visited the hospital before I went to work on the day of the accident on May 27, and the doctor, the head nurse of the ward, the head of the nursing team, and the head of the Wonmu department met with the mother, who was the main guardian, and expressed his apology and consolation."I heard that my mother left saying "I got it". I was informed that my doctor expressed his condolences not only as a doctor in charge but also on behalf of the hospital", he explained.

Then "That evening, the father, the man who said he was a journalist, and another man came to the hospital asking for CCTV, 'I'll spread it to the media, ' I'll make you close the hospital."' I heard that the employee at the headquarters felt threatened by talking back. Although I am the head of the hospital, I was careful to apologize first and express my condolences, not the doctor in charge.

In addition, he said he was scheduled to hold an interview with the mother of the deceased, but it was canceled because his mother did not show up on the same day. Yang Jae-woong denied claims that the hospital intentionally left the patient unattended, saying that the essential problem of the death case is not isolation or coercion, but the risk of pentamine (diethamine) poisoning, and other poisoning is suspected as well.

In conclusion, he expressed his deepest condolences once again for the loss of his daughter and brother as the head of our hospital"I wish I had the opportunity to deliver an apology without being exposed to the media."."

Meanwhile, Yang Jae-woong was scheduled to marry Hani, an actor from the group EXID, in September, but postponed it in the aftermath of the controversy. Yang Jae-woong's agency Mystic Story told Sports Chosun on the 3rd that "Yang Jae-woong decided to postpone his wedding to Hani scheduled for September."No date has been set yet for the postponement," he said. On the other hand, Hani said "It is difficult to confirm."
