 'Hani ♥' Yang Jae-woong attends the National Assembly's Witnesses'With the intention to apologize for the bereaved families of the patient's death, it is difficult to admit the hospital's negligence'



Yang Jae-woong, a psychiatrist, attended as a witness to the national audit in connection with the patient's death.

Yang Jae-woong appeared on the 23rd as a witness to the National Assembly's Health and Welfare Committee's parliamentary audit.

When asked by Rep. Seo Mi-hwa of the Democratic Party of Korea, "Do you admit hospital negligence?" he replied, "It is hard to admit."," he replied.



He also avoided answering questions such as "'Was there a doctor on duty at the scene at the time of the death?'", "'Who ordered the patient to isolate and obsess over?' and "'Does he admit false preparation of medical records?'", saying, "I have nothing to say because it is not something I have experienced and is under investigation.'

In particular, Yang Jae-woong drew attention by answering "No" when asked "Did you meet the bereaved family in person and apologize?" He is willing to apologize " (to the bereaved). I trusted the hospital and admitted my daughter, but I apologize again for not being able to recover safely."



In response, Seo said, `The witness's hospital received a commendation from an addiction treatment hospital certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, but according to the hospital submission data, the number of quarantine obsessions until August of this year is the highest. It was an addiction hospital, so tying it up and locking it up was the treatment""The Board of Appeals also received a detailed report that employees in the past were in collusion with the witness hospital and were turning a blind eye to corruption." The Ministry of Health and Welfare said, "Please order an internal audit of the Board of Audit and Inspection and submit the results."

In May, a woman in her 30s, who was hospitalized to treat diet drug addiction, died in 17 days at a hospital in Bucheon, where Yang Jae-woong is the director. According to the released CCTV footage, A complained of abdominal pain, but hospital staff did not take appropriate measures, such as administering stabilizers and binding them to bed. Eventually, A died, and the bereaved family filed a criminal complaint against Yang Jae-woong and other medical staff for abandonment and filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission of Korea. The police booked Yang Jae-woong and his employees on charges of violating the medical law.



In the process, Yang Jae-woong was criticized for announcing his September marriage to Hani, a former EXID member, three days after A's death. Yang Jae-woong then issued an apology through his agency, but the bereaved family resented the apology, calling it an insincere apology. Eventually, Yang Jae-woong dropped out of the program he was appearing on, and his marriage to Hani was postponed indefinitely.
