Earlier, on the 3rd, the Emergency Response Committee of the Seoul National University Hospital Medical Residents Council and the Seoul National University College of Medicine Student Council strongly condemned the martial law command proclamation issued immediately after the declaration of emergency martial law as "unconstitutional and oppressive acts." The proclamation explicitly stated that "all medical personnel, including residents who are on strike or have left the medical field, must return to their duties within 48 hours and work diligently; violations will be punished under the Martial Law Act."

Medical school professors are also raising their voices. The National Medical School Professors Emergency Response Committee (Jeon-ui-bi) will hold a "Medical School Professors' National Situation Declaration Rally" from 3 to 5 p.m. on the same day in front of the AT Center in Yangjae-dong, Seoul, condemning the oppression of medical education and healthcare and calling for the resignation of President Yoon Suk-yeol. Participants in the rally have announced plans to march to the Maehun Yun Bong-gil Memorial Hall, where Yun Bong-gil declared his presidential candidacy, to deliver a message urging President Yoon to return to the period before his presidential bid.

Additionally, the Gyeonggi-do Medical Association will hold a protest condemning President Yoon's declaration of emergency martial law on the 7th in front of Daehanmun in Jung-gu, Seoul, with the attendance of Lee Dong-wook, candidate for the Korean Medical Association by-election and president of the Gyeonggi-do Medical Association, among others.
