According to the police on the 23rd, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul transferred the case to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Violent Crimes Investigation Unit on the same day.


Ms. A underwent liposuction surgery three times at one-week intervals at a plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam last November. She was transferred to a university hospital after complaining of severe pain. She was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis that worsened into sepsis and received treatment, but ultimately passed away on the 10th.



The bereaved family filed a complaint against the plastic surgery clinic for professional negligence resulting in death, claiming that appropriate measures were not taken despite the patient's complaints of pain. The police conducted an autopsy on the body on the 18th and are currently awaiting the opinion of the National Forensic Service.
