He demanded a thorough investigation, strict punishment for those responsible, and protections for the victim.<\/p>\n<p>That day, Hong wrote on social media that foreign workers are members of our society who live and contribute alongside us, and that South Korea\u2019s industries would struggle to operate without them. He said Gyeonggi Province, home to one-third of the country\u2019s foreign workforce, requires more respect and consideration than any other region.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, on Feb. 20, reports said the owner of a manufacturing company in Hwaseong City sprayed an air gun at a foreign worker\u2019s body, causing internal injuries. Police are also investigating allegations that the company attempted to exploit the worker\u2019s unstable immigration status to force a return to their home country.<\/p>\n<p>Hong proposed introducing \u201csafe hospitals\u201d for foreigners across Gyeonggi Province so undocumented migrants can seek medical care without fear of immigration enforcement. The model, currently operated in Jeollanam-do, allows treatment with only a doctor\u2019s certification\u2014no immigration documents required\u2014helping to address gaps in medical access.<\/p>\n<p>He added that he would ensure these hospitals are established wherever needed in Gyeonggi Province so foreign workers can seek care safely, regardless of their immigration status.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Seong-kyu, Gyeonggi Province governor candidate, condemns the incident involving migrant workers and calls for thorough investigation
