On the 5th, Chairman Park stated on his personal SNS (social networking service), "Is it finally starting?" and added, "I received a summons for a witness investigation from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency by registered mail on August 1st." He continued, "There was no phone call or text, only the mail. Since I have not yet appointed a lawyer, I submitted a request to change the attendance date to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency today."

He also said, "It has already been almost half a year since I submitted my resignation. Seeing the government now even mobilizing police power, it seems they are secretly impatient," and added, "Are they trying to force me to submit by power until the end? I will walk the given path."

However, the police explained that the summons was for a witness investigation to prove the charges against former and current executives of the Korean Medical Association (의협). It is currently known that there is no possibility of Chairman Park being changed to a suspect.

Earlier, the police have been investigating former emergency committee chairman Kim Taek-woo, publicity chairman Joo Soo-ho, organization strengthening chairman Park Myung-ha, and current Korean Medical Association president Lim Hyun-taek as suspects in connection with the Ministry of Health and Welfare's accusation of former and current executives of the Korean Medical Association for violations of the Medical Service Act, obstruction of business under criminal law, instigation, and aiding and abetting.

The government has withdrawn orders for work commencement (return) for the defecting interns and residents but has stated its position to take legal action against acts of instigation and aiding and abetting the collective defection of interns and residents.
