Controversial 36-Week Abortion Case Leads to Arrests of Medical Professionals

A YouTuber, known as A, has sparked a significant controversy after revealing her experience of undergoing an abortion at 36 weeks gestation, sharing ultrasound images of the fetus on her channel. Following this revelation, the police have arrested the director and the surgeon of the hospital where the procedure took place, charging them with murder. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced on July 4 that they have transferred the two medical professionals to the prosecution while also charging A with murder. Additionally, two brokers who facilitated the procedure have been charged with violations of medical laws but were not detained.

On June 27 of last year, A posted a video titled 'Total Surgery Cost 9 Million Won, Hellish 120 Hours' detailing her experience of the abortion. This prompted the Ministry of Health and Welfare to request an investigation into A and the medical staff involved in July of the same year.

The police have since charged six medical personnel, one YouTuber, and two brokers, conducting a search of the hospital to collect evidence, including the fetus's cremation certificate and stillbirth certificate. Authorities believe that the fetus died after being delivered, leading to the murder charges against the medical staff. Investigations into the potential complicity of four other medical personnel involved in the surgery are ongoing.
