Yang Jae Woong expresses deep regret and pledges full cooperation in the investigation following the death of a patient at his hospital

On July 29th, psychiatrist Yang Jae Woong, fiance of EXID Hani, publicly apologized through his agency Mystic Story following a tragic incident at his hospital that resulted in the death of a female patient. In his statement, he expressed deep sorrow and extended his condolences to the bereaved family. “Both myself and the entire medical staff are deeply saddened and cannot hide our profound grief.”

Yang, the hospital’s director, emphasized his commitment to cooperating fully with external investigations. He explained that the hospital had already provided medical charts and CCTV footage from the time of the incident. While bound by medical confidentiality laws, which prevent the disclosure of specific treatment details, he assured that he and the medical team would fulfil their responsibilities based on medical and legal judgments.

The controversy began after reports surfaced regarding the death of a woman in her 30s. The patient, referred to as A, was admitted to Yang’s hospital for addiction treatment related to diet pills containing narcotic substances. The incident has drawn significant public attention, leading to heightened scrutiny of the hospital’s practices.

As the investigation continues, Yang Jae Woong’s apology reflects the serious nature of the situation and the ongoing efforts to address the tragic event with transparency and accountability.

Full statement:

This incident occurred at the hospital where I serve as the representative, and as the hospital director of W Jin Hospital, I take this incident very seriously.

We are doing our utmost to cooperate with external agencies, providing medical charts and CCTV footage that captures the situation at the time of the incident.

Both myself and all medical staff will fully cooperate with the ongoing investigation and will sincerely fulfill our responsibilities based on medical and legal judgments.
