The incoming head of South Korea’s leading doctors’ lobby group reiterated on Sunday the call for the government to scrap the planned medical school quota hike to initiate dialogue with the medical community.

About 12,000 trainee doctors have left their worksites since Feb. 20 in protest of the plan to boost the number of medical students by 2,000, causing delays in medical treatments, with some emergency rooms partially limiting their treatment of critically ill patients.

Lim Hyun-taek, the president-elect of the Korean Medical Association (KMA), pressed the government to fully scrap its proposed medical reform plans, including the medical school quota hike, to open a discussion with doctors from scratch.

“This is not a conflict between the medical community and the government. Rather, it is a unilateral abuse of power by the authorities,” Lim said in a general meeting of the KMA in Seoul. “Otherwise, the medical community will not budge, and not respond to any call for negotiations.”

A presidential com
mittee on medical reform was formally launched on Thursday to seek a breakthrough over a prolonged walkout by doctors, but the KMA has been boycotting the initiative as well.

Lim, known for his hawkish stance in the ongoing stalemate with the government, is set to begin his official term starting on Wednesday.

Last week, the police conducted an additional raid on Lim, who is accused of having instigated collective resignations by junior doctors

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said it additionally seized Lim’s mobile phone and sent investigators to his office in western Seoul and his residence in Asan, 83 kilometers south of Seoul.

The police seized Lim’s phone in their previous raid in March, but it was confirmed to have been used by him in the past.

President Yoon Suk Yeol and opposition leader Lee Jae-myung are set to hold their first-ever meeting this week amid interest in what demands Lee will make in the wake of his party’s landslide victory in the April 10 parliamentary elections.

Yoon and Lee are scheduled to hold a tea meeting at the presidential office at 2 p.m. Monday, both accompanied by three aides each. The talks have been scheduled for an hour but could last beyond that.

It will be the first time the two have held talks since Yoon came into office in May 2022 and demonstrates Yoon’s commitment to working closer with Lee’s Democratic Party (DP) following its win of 175 seats in the 300-member National Assembly.

Yoon will be the first president since South Korea’s democratization in 1987 to work with an opposition-controlled parliament for all five years of his term.

The Yoon-Lee meeting will have no fixed agenda, as Lee agreed Friday to meet unconditionally with the president after working-level talks to coordinate an agenda produced no
result.

The DP had initially delivered a list of requests, which included accepting Lee’s general election pledge to hand out 250,000 won (US$182) each to the entire population to help restore their livelihoods, accepting a special counsel investigation into the death of a Marine last year and an apology from Yoon for vetoing a number of DP-led bills.

Lee is in the process of selecting items to raise with the president with a focus on measures to revive people’s livelihoods and change the principle of state affairs, DP officials said Sunday.

The opposition leader is expected to bring up his cash handout pledge, the special counsel investigation and the vetoes, while also calling for the formation of a four-party consultation body involving the ruling and opposition parties, the government and the medical community to seek a breakthrough in the ongoing standoff over medical reform.

Also drawing attention is whether Lee will raise the issue of pursuing a special counsel investigation into allegations of sto
ck price manipulation involving first lady Kim Keon Hee.
