Lim Hyun-taek, president of the Korean Medical Association, criticized the Korean Society of Chosophilia for saying, "It sounds like a schizophrenic patient" in an SNS message, calling it a serious unethical behavior.

The Schizophrenia Society said in its statement that it used the negative image given to individuals or groups to insult and condemn the other person, pointing out that it is an act of perpetuating stigma by maliciously using a specific disease name.

Some celebrities and media have expressed concerns about disparaging their opponents by comparing them to certain diseases, but he said it was very serious that the president of the Korean Medical Association made such remarks, and stressed that no one should do so.

In addition, Chairman Lim said that he should feel a heavy responsibility as the head of the medical association, and I am glad that he apologized quickly, but I urged him to prevent similar things from happening again.

On the 17th, Chairman Lim wrote on social media targeting Jang Sang-yoon, senior presidential secretary for social affairs, saying, "I'm tired of hearing things like schizophrenia every day," so he deleted the post and posted an apology after being criticized for disparaging the disabled.
