Han Ju-won

Elderly patient lying in a ward bed with monitor leads attached; Han Ju-won touching those leads triggers Woo Jin-han’s intrusion.

Third-year emergency resident. Comforts crying interns, explains the chief’s perfectionism and strictness are teaching not hatred, offers to tip the chief if things are hard, and urges them to learn beside Han Ju-won.

Kim Seung-hwan’s guardian. Arrives with their daughter, tearfully asks about survival odds and her husband’s suffering, decides to stop resuscitation, then breaks down at the bedside.

Hospital doctor and colleague. Appears in the past intern conflict scene and later calls Woo Jin-han after the disaster broadcast, relaying that the chief wants him down immediately because the subway accident has thrown the hospital into chaos.

55-year-old man transferred after office chest pain, anterior MI on ECG, and no response to NTG at hospital A. He still has pain and dyspnea, asks staff not to tell his family because of his high-school daughter and tired wife, but Han refuses. He later goes into V-fib requiring CPR.

Black-haired doctor who finds Han Ju-won on a hospital rooftop after a patient death, confides he cannot imagine losing family, then later declares he wants to become like Han. He resolves to start over, dresses carefully for work, is teased for looking sharp, has his necktie yanked off by Han as an infection risk, and eagerly treats a 17-year-old with chest pain while craving recognition.
