UPDATE: EXID member Hani’s fiancé, Yang Jae Woong, is under intense scrutiny following the arrest of a doctor linked to a tragic patient death at his clinic. The Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency confirmed that Dr. A was arrested on October 20, 2023, charged with professional negligence resulting in death.
The case centers on a woman in her 30s who died while receiving treatment for addiction to narcotic diet pills at Yang’s clinic. Authorities report that Dr. A allegedly failed to implement necessary safety measures, which contributed to the patient’s death.
The Incheon District Court conducted a pre-arrest interrogation of Dr. A and issued an arrest warrant, citing concerns about potential evidence destruction. This alarming development has reignited public outrage over Yang’s role and the clinic’s operations, as he is one of 11 suspects now under investigation.
Yang has publicly maintained that his clinic is not at fault regarding the patient’s death. However, the arrest of Dr. A has drawn renewed media attention and public interest. This incident marks a significant turning point in the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the couple, especially since the initial reports emerged in 2024, forcing Yang and Hani to postpone their wedding plans.
As the situation unfolds, many are watching closely to see how this will impact the couple’s future. With no updates on their wedding since the initial scandal, the emotional stakes are high for both Hani and Yang.
Social media is abuzz with reactions, and fans are expressing concern over the implications of this case on Hani’s career and personal life. The public’s reaction to the medical practices at Yang’s clinic has sparked discussions about safety and accountability in mental health treatment.
Authorities are expected to release further information as the investigation continues. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story, as the ramifications for Yang and Hani could be profound.
