Doctor Who Created 'Blacklist' Arrested Before Resignation... "Fear of Evidence Tampering"

Violation of Stalking Punishment Act Due to Personal Information Exposure

A resident doctor who posted the names of residents who did not participate in collective action in the medical community online has been detained by the police.

Nam Cheon-gyu, the chief judge in charge of warrants at the Seoul Central District Court, held a pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant substantive examination) on the 20th for Jeong Mo, who is accused of violating the Stalking Punishment Act, and then issued an arrest warrant. Judge Nam stated the reason for issuing the warrant was "concern over evidence destruction."

Jeong is accused of creating a "medical community blacklist" containing personal information of doctors who did not participate in the collective action against the government's medical school expansion policy in July, and posting it multiple times on Telegram and the doctor and medical student community Medistaff.

Jeong was initially booked on charges including violation of the Personal Information Protection Act, but the police applied for an arrest warrant on charges of violating the Stalking Punishment Act, believing that Jeong engaged in continuous and repetitive harassment by posting personal information online against the will of the doctors involved.
