Yang Jae-woong attended the National Assembly Health and Welfare Committee's parliamentary audit on the 23rd as a witness.
Rep. Seo Mi-hwa of the Democratic Party of Korea said "There was a patient death accident. The witness issued an apology through an entertainment agency, not in his name, two months after the death accident was reported in the media. Did you meet the bereaved family and apologize?Yang Jae-woong said, "I'm still.."I couldn't stop talking. Rep. Seo criticized, "(Isn't it the least way to apologize to the bereaved family in person when the patient died at his hospital?" and added, "The bereaved family and the media are raising suspicions of medical negligence." As a result of the National Forensic Service's examination, the cause of death came out as a sudden growth obstruction. Intestinal obstruction causes necrosis of the intestine when treatment is delayed, leading to death. The witness told the media that the cause of death of the deceased was diet drug addiction. "Did the on-duty doctor see the deceased personally and instruct him?" he said, asking about the absence of the on-duty doctor, and Yang Jae-woong declined to say, saying, `I'm sorry, but I'm investigating.'
Rep. Seo also said, `The deceased complained of constipation and abdominal pain a week before his death and showed symptoms of digestive problems until the day before his death. Even if there was a physician, he did not send it to the internal medicine department. Is it a treatment to forcibly lock up patients who complain of pain and feed them with stabilizers. It is violence, not treatment, and neglect. If the doctor had seen the condition of the deceased and treated him, he would not have died. "Do you admit to violating the duty of care and hospital negligence?" he said. Yang Jae-woong `Doesn't admit it. be hard to admit" he said.

Earlier on May 27, a woman in her 30s died at a psychiatric hospital run by Yang Jae-woong. He died of pseudo intestinal obstruction after being hospitalized to treat diet drug addiction. According to the released CCTV, A complained of abdominal pain and asked the hospital for help, but nursing assistants tied A's hands and feet to the bed and gave him stabilizers. Since then, A has died unconscious. The bereaved family claimed that the hospital left A dead and filed a complaint with the police against hospital officials on charges of abandonment and professional negligence.
Yang Jae-woong wrote in his agency Mystic Story "First of all, regarding the incident that occurred during the hospitalization process, he and the former medical staff cannot hide their terrible feelings, and we sincerely apologize to the bereaved families who are grieving after losing the deceased and their families."I apologized, but I couldn't avoid criticism. It was belatedly revealed that Yang Jae-woong announced his marriage to Hani a few days after A's death. He also appeared on entertainment shows and told behind-the-scenes stories of marriage.
In addition, the bereaved family insisted that Yang Jae-woong's apology was 'press play', `When I was protesting in front of the hospital yesterday morning, I passed by and didn't look at him. I can't accept it because it's not a sincere apology." In the aftermath of the controversy, Yang Jae-woong also postponed his marriage to Hani.
