On September 22, 2026, Kukmin Ilbo reported on the problem that children without residence status or health insurance are refused emergency psychiatric admission even when they repeatedly harm themselves. In the article, Youngah Kim, the head of MAP, said that a separate support system is needed that links schools, local mental health welfare centers and medical institutions, detects high-risk children early, and connects them from interpretation and counseling to emergency admission and treatment.
