Gyeonggi gov. orders inspection, after bullying death of nurse

Following the death of a 27-year-old nurse who reportedly committed suicide after experiencing severe workplace bullying, Gyeonggi Governor Choo Mi-ae has ordered inspections of medical facilities in the province. The nurse had previously filed a complaint with the Ministry of Employment and Labor, which investigated and confirmed bullying against only one of the three senior nurses accused. Despite this, the hospital reprimanded the nurse while allowing the others to keep their positions. The practice of 'taeum,' where new nurses are bullied until they resign, has drawn national attention and criticism, including from President Lee Jae Myung, who condemned it as unjustifiable violence. Authorities are now investigating the case, with police interviewing the victim's family and colleagues and examining digital evidence.
