On the 17th, Hankyoreh said in an interview with all employee A that "A patient who was hospitalized on the second floor in 2017 had a cutter knife and drew his neck in the smoking room at the end of the ward. When returning from hospitalization, going out or staying out, the inspection of belongings is usually done by guardians, but there were no guardians on the second floor that day. The incident occurred when there was a gap of about two to three hours due to a lack of medical staff during a specific time period. I almost died of excessive bleeding, but it was a clear neglect of the hospital." Then "At that time, there were no nurses and only two nursing assistants, but the two were busy coming and going, delivering only gauze, and the first aid such as hemostasis was provided by the staff of the department until the fire first aid came." At that time, he was not killed because he belatedly discovered the behavior of a mentally ill patient and a strong position among his guardians that the hospital should be held accountable' was divided into opinions that sided with the hospital. As a result, it did not spread to criminal cases and moved on well.," he added.
In response, Director Yang Jae-woong initially denied it, saying it was "groundless", but admitted the exact year. At the time, he argued that "At that time, the ward was an open ward where patients could freely go back and forth outside, so it was easy to bring in prohibited items, and there was a limit to the employees conducting tests." In response, Mr. A refuted that "It was a closed ward, not an open ward" and insisted that "clear patient neglect."
In addition, A claimed that in addition to additional medical accidents in the past, there are employees in charge of rental work.

Regarding this, Yang Jae-woong denied it again, but admitted when he named it. Director Yang said, "The employee has worked at the headquarters since the opening of the hospital until now, and he has been in a mental hospital for 30 years, and his current annual salary is about 140 million won." "Due to the nature of mental hospitals where patients at risk of self-harm are hospitalized, communication with the Ministry of Health and Welfare, public health centers and police (request for hospitalization by city and provincial police stations for psychiatric emergency patients occurring in the region) is required, and he is not in charge of rental work, but is acting as the head of general hospital administration.", he explained.
Meanwhile, the police received a complaint filed by the bereaved family who died after quarantine and coercion at the hospital on May 27 and have been conducting an investigation into Yang Jae-woong and others. It has not yet been decided whether to send it to the prosecution. Director Yang Jae-woong will appear as a witness at the National Assembly Health and Welfare Committee's parliamentary audit on the 23rd. Seo Mi-hwa, an official from the Democratic Party of Korea's lawmaker's office who requested the witness, said, `Chairman Yang Jae-woong has expressed his intention to attend the National Assembly inspection.'
