The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Public Crime Investigation Unit summoned Chairman Joo to the Mapo-gu office for questioning. This was the second investigation following the one on the 6th.


As he entered the office that morning, Chairman Joo said, "Starting today, we will unite the will of 140,000 doctors to launch a movement to oust the Yoon Seok-yeol administration," adding, "If necessary, we will form alliances with political circles."


He continued, "Based on the message that Vice Chairman Kim Taek-woo and President Park Myung-ha (Seoul Medical Association) encouraged members at the rally, a license suspension?a matter as vital as life to doctors?was imposed," emphasizing, "The most important fundamentals to protect liberal democracy are freedom of the press and freedom of assembly and association."



This investigation follows the Ministry of Health and Welfare's complaint filed with the National Police Agency on the 27th of last month against five current and former KMA executives for violations of the Medical Service Act, obstruction of business under the Criminal Act, instigation, and aiding and abetting. The Ministry notified Vice Chairman Kim and Park Myung-ha, chairman of the KMA Emergency Response Committee's Organizational Strengthening Committee, of a three-month license suspension on the 18th.
