On the 26th, President-elect Lim Hyun-taek of the Korean Medical Association (KMA) and the government discussed the collective action of medical students refusing lectures.

Earlier on the 24th, President-elect Lim posted on his social media: “I was contacted by a medical student who said that the senior secretary for social affairs had requested an investigation, and I told him to rest assured that the Korean Medical Association would protect him completely.” He added: “If the government touches even the slightest detail about medical students, the only thing left is a catastrophe.” “This is something we must keep in mind,” he said.

Police are investigating the Hanyang Medical University Student Council on suspicion of using coercive measures to prevent medical students from returning to study, such as issuing public apologies and banning access to study materials. The Ministry of Education announced on the 21st that it has requested the police to investigate cases of coercion to participate in collective actions reported to the “Center for the Protection and Reporting of Medical Students”.

In response to this, Jeon Byeong-wang, head of the Department of Health and Medical Policy of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said the same day in a briefing at the Central Headquarters for Security Countermeasures and Disasters for the collective action by doctors: “It is difficult to understand why the Korean Medical Association is protecting the medical students who are the perpetrators, while ignoring and neglecting the pain of the medical students who are the victims.” the victims feel anxious and this degrades their dignity.”
