Hani’s fiancé, psychiatrist Yang Jae Woong, is once again under public scrutiny following the official closure of his medical facility, W Jin Hospital.
According to the Bucheon City Public Health Center in Gyeonggi Province, W Jin Hospital filed for permanent closure on April 1, 2026, with the decision confirmed on April 12.
The hospital, established in 2010, specialized in mental health and alcohol addiction treatment, operating with 169 beds. Attempts to contact the facility following the closure reportedly resulted in disconnected phone lines, signaling a complete shutdown of operations.
The closure follows a tragic incident in September 2023, when a woman in her 30s died after 17 days of hospitalization. The reported cause was acute intestinal pseudo-obstruction, though the circumstances surrounding her treatment led to widespread concern.
Authorities launched an investigation, during which the hospital submitted medical records and CCTV footage. However, the situation escalated when the attending physician was arrested on charges of professional negligence resulting in death.
As a result, the hospital faced a three-month suspension earlier this year, remaining closed from January through March before ultimately ceasing operations entirely.
The controversy has also affected Yang Jae Woong’s personal life. His relationship with Hani, a member of EXID, came under intense public attention.
Following the incident, the couple reportedly postponed their wedding, and since then, neither side has provided updates regarding their current status.
While the hospital’s closure marks a significant development, questions remain about accountability and the broader implications of the case.
