He said, "I visited the residential treatment center in Jung-gu, Seoul a while ago and looked at the status of medication for eating treatments. "I met the elderly who were taking the medicine on the screen and asked how they were doing over the phone, and I heard that the elderly were taking the medicine well and are currently improving well without any adverse reactions."
