"South Korean Trainee Doctors Defy Pressure, Continue Strike Despite Threats"

Thousands of South Korean trainee doctors are defying a government deadline to end their mass walkout, protesting a plan to increase medical school admissions. The government has warned of suspending their medical licenses if they do not return to work. The walkout has caused disruptions at major hospitals, leading to patient rejections and canceled procedures. The government has issued a back-to-work order and invited the trainee doctors to a meeting to address their concerns.
