, ‘On CBS Radio’s “Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show” on the 19th, Park said, “Representative Han is strongly pushing for the bipartisan legislative council,” adding, “The direction of the council can vary greatly depending on who is leading it.” ‘,
,
, ‘He revealed that he was shocked during a private meeting with Han on August 20th, where Han showed no willingness to resolve the issue of increasing medical school quotas. Park mentioned, “At the time, Han said, ‘I don’t care about the medical community, and I don’t really know the government’s stance,'” adding that “as the ruling party leader, he should have run for party leadership with a clear sense of responsibility for this situation, but it seemed he did not view it as his responsibility.”‘,

Emergency committee chairman Park Dan of the Korean Intern and Resident Association is speaking to the press upon arrival at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s special investigation team in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the morning of August 21st. Yonhap News,
,
, ‘Park argued that the government should stop recruiting new medical school students for the 2025 academic year. Park stated, “Medical students have already expressed their intention to take a leave of absence in March next year,” indicating that even if the number of new students increases, it will be impossible to educate them properly. This is due to the increased recruitment numbers based on government policy, combined with students who had taken a leave in opposition to the quota increase returning, leading to an abnormally large class size that makes education difficult.’,
,
, ‘Park warned that the class size might exceed 10,000 by the 2026 academic year, noting, “I believe education becomes impossible even with just a 1,000 student increase, yet the government misleadingly claims it is feasible.” He further asserted, “As the situation regarding the increase in medical school quotas drags on, it is heading for disaster. To minimize the harm to Korean healthcare and citizens, halting the recruitment of new medical students is the best choice.”‘,
