Why Wise Resident Life is facing trouble amid doctors' strike in South Korea?
In February 2024, South Korea’s presidential administration launched a new plan to increase the acceptance numbers for students in medical school. This new plan was to address the longtime shortage of professionals in South Korea. However, the doctors were not happy with the government’s decision, citing that it would drastically decrease the quality of medical education.
To protest, many physicians walked out of their jobs, leading to a massive doctors’ strike in the country. However, at the same time, public opinion didn’t side with them, causing an interruption to a medical drama like Wise Resident Life’s premiere.
