[Asia Economy Reporter Seo So-jeong] On the 8th, as residents stopped their collective strike and returned to medical sites, the Korean Intern Resident Association (Daejeonhyeop) formed a new emergency countermeasure committee.

According to the medical community on the 8th, Daejeonhyeop held a general assembly of delegates until dawn and formed a new emergency committee. Daejeonhyeop stated, "We plan to hold a delegates' meeting today to discuss future collective actions."

The new emergency committee is opposing the previous committee's decision for residents to return to work and is signaling a hardline stance. In a statement, they said, "We object to the collective action guidelines that did not sufficiently reflect the opinions of 16,000 residents nationwide." Accordingly, if the emergency committee decides to continue the strike, there is a possibility that residents who had returned to work may resume the collective strike.

Meanwhile, Park Ji-hyun, the emergency committee chairperson of Daejeonhyeop, resigned along with the executive team after announcing the residents' return to work the previous day.
