Korean psychiatrist Yang Jae Woong, who is better known to K-Pop fans as EXID member Hani‘s fiancé, has responded to the recent news surrounding the death of a patient who was admitted to his hospital for addiction treatment.

Hello, this is Yang Jae Woong. First and foremost, we—including myself and the entire medical team—are deeply distressed by the incident that occurred during the hospitalization process at W Hospital. We sincerely apologize to the bereaved family who are grieving the loss of their loved one.

This incident occurred at the hospital where I am currently serving as the CEO, and as the director of W Hospital, I take this matter very seriously. The hospital is fully cooperating with the authorities involved in the ongoing investigation, including providing medical charts and CCTV footage that captures the situation at the time.
Since the investigation is ongoing, we ask all to refrain from speculative posts and scandalizing reports about the treatment process and the incident. Under current medical law, medical professionals are obligated to maintain patient confidentiality, so we regret that we cannot provide detailed responses to your inquiries.
— Yang Jae Woong
He assured his cooperation with the investigation, pleading that no more speculations stem from the CCTV footage.
Both I, as the hospital director, and all medical staff will cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation and will diligently fulfill our responsibilities based on medical and legal judgments. Once again, we extend our deepest condolences and sympathy to the bereaved family.
