About 10 professors at the Kangwon National University College of Medicine held a hair-shaving ceremony to protest the push to expand the medical school’s quota.
In an investigation conducted by the Ministry of Education, Kangwon National University asked to increase the number of medical school students from 49 to 140. The university took class action, claiming that this policy was against to the will of the members.
Professor Seung-Jun Lee of the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Kangwon National University College of Medicine said: “During the faculty meeting held last week, 77% expressed the opinion that they would reject the application for an increase in medical school applications,” and added: “However, the school did not take this into account and sent more people to the Ministry of Education than in the application investigation last November.” “I applied,” he said.
Professor Lee then explained: “We organized a head shaving ceremony to protest the university’s decision which did not take the members’ wishes into consideration at all.”
Professors also come forward one after another saying that if legal action is taken against the residents, they will join a collective action to protect their students.
Professors at Ulsan University’s College of Medicine released a statement saying, “If prosecutions that intimidate residents become a reality, as teachers, we will take action to protect our students,” as did a professor at Chungnam National University Hospital released a statement. , saying, “If unreasonable prosecutions are conducted against residents and students, we will never do anything.” “I will not stand by and I will be with you until the end,” he said.
For the first time since the mayor’s collective action, a professor has expressed his intention to resign.

Professor Yoon said: “There is no bright future, but the surgical residents who came because they liked it are getting discouraged and giving up, and the government is only threatening them, as if slapping a crying baby.” . no rational and logical discussion, and the government focuses only on guiding public opinion.” “It is difficult to expect a reasonable agreement in this situation,” he said.
