Doctor to Seong Gi-hun on his mother's condition.
This unnamed man is a doctor working at a 24-hour emergency medical center in Seoul, South Korea.
History[]
When Oh Mal-soon passed out, she was brought to the hospital where the doctor worked, and her son Seong Gi-hun was called in. The doctor diagnosed her with type 2 diabetes, and stated that she must have been in much pain. He advised that she stay in the hospital and said that in a worse case scenario, she would have to have her leg amputated. However, due to money issues, Mal-soon decided to leave the hospital, in fear of having more debt.
Trivia[]
- The doctor claimed that Mal-soon was in pain due to her diabetes. This could be an inaccuracy, as the diabetes would have damaged her nerves, thus preventing her from feeling pain in her leg.
Behind the scenes[]
The doctor was portrayed by Song Hyung-soo.
