Kim Taek-woo, chairman of the Emergency Response Committee of the Korean Medical Association, filed a request for a temporary suspension of the three-month suspension of his medical license, but the court dismissed the request.

The Administrative Court of Seoul, Administrative Division 5 (Presiding Judge Kim Soon-yeol) dismissed Chairman Kim's request for a suspension of the license suspension enforcement filed against the Minister of Health and Welfare on the 11th.

As a result of the court's decision, Chairman Kim's medical license is expected to be suspended for three months starting from the 15th. A suspension of enforcement means that the court temporarily halts an administrative action when it causes irreparable harm.

Earlier, the government delivered a three-month suspension of medical licenses starting from the 15th to Chairman Kim and Park Myung-ha, organizing chairman of the Medical Association's Emergency Response Committee, who are accused of inciting collective resignation of residents and obstructing work.

Meanwhile, Chairman Park, who also received a license suspension, filed a lawsuit and requested a suspension of enforcement, but the results have not yet been announced.
