The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Public Crime Investigation Unit announced that on that morning, they summoned Representative Park to the Metropolitan Investigation Division building in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and are currently investigating him as a witness.

Representative Park stated, "The government is ignorant of the essence of medical distortion and is only pushing through misguided medical policies," adding, "This situation will remain a significant stain on Korean society."

He did not respond to the question of whether he agrees with Park Dan, the emergency committee chairman of the Korean Intern Resident Association (Daehan Jeong-ui Hyeob-uihoe, Daejeonhyeop), who claimed that "the collective resignation was the individual choice of each resident."

It is understood that the investigation of Representative Park on this day was aimed at proving allegations that current and former executives of the Korean Medical Association (KMA) incited the collective resignation of residents. The police also summoned Park Dan as a witness for questioning on the 21st of last month.

The police have filed charges against six current and former KMA executives, including Im Hyun-taek, the president of the KMA, Kim Taek-woo, the chairman of the former KMA emergency committee, and Joo Soo-ho, the public relations chairman, for violations of the Medical Service Act, obstruction of business under the Criminal Act, and instigation and aiding, and have been conducting investigations since February.
