Lee Nak-jun, the original author of Netflix's 'Severe Trauma Center', is celebrating a double occasion.

On the 1st, Lee posted on his personal SNS: "I have been appointed as a visiting professor in the Department of Medicine at Inha University School of Medicine, my alma mater. Although it has been more than 15 years since I graduated and I am unsure how I can help my juniors, I will do my best under the guidance of professors who are both seniors and mentors. Thank you for this opportunity!"

A former otolaryngologist, he writes web novels under the pen name Hansani. The Netflix series 'Severe Trauma Center', based on his web novel, received widespread acclaim immediately upon its release in January last year. Production of Season 2 and Season 3 has already been confirmed.

Previously, Lee Nak-jun had shared that he used to work only three days a week as a "pay doctor" and earned a modest salary, but he had planned to go full-time once his income reached two or three times that of a regular physician. He proudly noted that 'Severe Trauma Center' helped him achieve this goal, allowing him to become a full-time writer without incident.

For Lee Nak-jun, the upcoming filming of a new season of 'Severe Trauma Center' in October coincides with his appointment as a visiting professor at Inha University School of Medicine's Department of Medicine—a double celebration. He shared his graduation photo and added, "This is my graduation photo, but strangely, I look quite dashing," eliciting laughter from fans.

Meanwhile, Ha Young, who played the character Cheon Jang-mi in Season 1 of 'Severe Trauma Center' alongside Ji Chang-wook, Cho Young-woo, and Yoon Kyung-ho, faced backlash due to controversies surrounding her alleged pro-Japanese ancestors. Consequently, Netflix officially announced on this day that Ha Young will not appear in the sequel to 'Severe Trauma Center'.
