The role of nurses, no doubt, is to take care of patients. But a South Korean hospital has given this a new twist, forcing its nurses to wear revealing clothing and dance seductively.

Nurses from the Sacred Heart Hospital of Hallym University said they were forced to entertain 1,000 seniors and co-workers at an annual sports competition in October, according to the Korea Times. They posted photos and videos online as evidence.

As most of them are new recruits, they dare not refuse. Some felt humiliated and cried, but were ignored by seniors.

The Korean Nurses Association condemned such behavior and called for an investigation, adding that the government should protect the nurses from being humiliated. The Ministry of Employment and Labor said an internal investigation would be conducted.

The Sacred Heart Hospital of Hallym University said they did not force the nurses, adding that doctors also performed, but would prevent similar events from happening again.
