Former Korean Medical Association President Noh Hwan-gyu, who has continued to make hard-line remarks against the government’s policy of increasing the number of medical schools, took aim at Min Hee-jin, CEO of Adore, a label under Hive, saying, “Are you saying it’s okay for people like that to make money, but not for doctors?”
On the 26th, former Chairman Roh shared an article about Representative Min on his social networking service (SNS) and said, “This is a world where people who casually use various slang at public press conferences can earn tens of billions of dollars in profit. Well, that’s okay. “Because there are various paths to success,” he began. The article included information that CEO Min, who called Hive Chairman Bang Si-hyuk ‘Mr.
Former Chairman Roh said, “I thought all I had to do was dedicate the golden years of my life to studying, but doctors who have to study their whole lives and even sacrifice time to play with their families are being treated like criminals and are being harassed. “This is a comparison,” he wrote. “It’s okay for people like that to make money through their efforts, but it’s absolutely unacceptable for doctors to make much less money through their efforts, and I feel ashamed of having an allergic reaction to it.”
He continued, “I am not arguing that doctors should make money. “This means that a world where people strive to become such professionals will be maintained only when there is a so-called ‘good job’ where people respect or respect you and you are treated well economically when you put in more effort than others,” he said. “This means that doctors must remain one of those professions,” he emphasized.
He added, “It’s not just for the doctors, it’s for the entire society. “The United States has prevented the shortage of thoracic surgeons by providing respect and high economic compensation to thoracic surgeons whom others avoid, and has made it so that only excellent doctors who survive through competition can perform human heart and lung surgery,” he said. “The government of the Republic of Korea is planning to fill the position with ‘trickle-down doctors,’” he criticized.
Former Chairman Roh was accused by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of inciting collective action by medical residents by posting on social media that “the government cannot defeat doctors.” Earlier on this day, he shared an article on social media that Lim Hyun-taek, president-elect of the Korean Medical Association, was additionally searched and seized, and said, “Searching and searching the president-elect, who is less than a week away from being inaugurated as president in the name of dialogue, is not an obvious political retaliation, but rather a search and seizure of 140,000 people across the country.” “This is a clear threat to all doctors,” he said, adding, “This is truly insane.”
Meanwhile, Hive, Korea’s largest music agency, reported CEO Min and Vice-CEO Mr. A to Yongsan Police Station in Seoul on charges of breach of trust the previous day, saying, “There was an attempt to seize management rights.” In response, Representative Min held an emergency press conference on the same day and refuted, “We never intended or implemented any plan to usurp management rights.” During this process, Representative Min became a hot topic by complaining of unfairness while spouting various swear words.
