Comedian Park Na-rae is facing criticism over allegations of power abuse raised by former managers and allegations of illegal medical procedures received from the "injection aunt," and she is scheduled to record I Live Alone today (8th).
Today (8th), with a studio recording of MBC variety show I Live Alone scheduled, attention is focused on whether Park Na-rae will attend. Originally, Park Na-rae is an indispensable regular member who appears on the I Live Alone studio shoot together with broadcaster Jun Hyun-moo. However, recent controversies surrounding her private life have made her appearance uncertain.
On the 3rd, Park Na-rae was served with an application for a provisional seizure of real estate at the Seoul Western District Court by her former managers. The former managers claimed they suffered so-called "power abuse" while working at Park Na-rae's one-person management company, including verbal abuse, special assault, proxy prescriptions, nonpayment of hosting fees, and being on standby for personal errands at all times. In addition, it was revealed to wide shock that Park Na-rae had been accused of violating the Medical Service Act by receiving proxy prescriptions and psychotropic drugs from a person known as the "injection aunt" and of violating the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act for failing to register her one-person management company.
However, on the 5th Park Na-rae's side rebutted in a first statement, saying that two employees who worked for about one year and three months demanded an additional 10% of the company's revenue after resigning despite receiving their rightful severance pay, and after rejecting this demand they continued to make false claims that caused unnecessary misunderstanding and pressure, so they decided to take legal action. Regarding the allegation that she received illegal medical treatment, they also claimed that the medical professional known as the "injection aunt" made a house call.
Meanwhile, Park Na-rae appeared without edits in broadcasts of the MBC variety shows Save Me! Homes, I Live Alone, and the tvN variety show Amazing Saturday from the 3rd to the 6th. However, unlike those previously filmed segments, the VCR studio recording of I Live Alone is a schedule taking place after Park Na-rae's controversy. Therefore, attention is focused on whether Park Na-rae will attend.
Meanwhile, the person known as the "injection aunt," A, deleted all the posts she had posted on her personal social media. Previously she posted a number of captured images on SNS, including a photo of wearing a doctor's coat and an online profile apparently written in Chinese. She also claimed, "About 12 to 13 years ago I studied hard going back and forth to Inner Mongolia, and I served as the youngest Professor Choi at the Inner Mongolia Pogang Medical University Hospital as the first foreign and native physician. Thanks to the consideration of the hospital director and the head of the department of plastic surgery and active help from local officials in Inner Mongolia, we were able to attract the Korea Plastic Surgery Center. As the center director, I did not refuse TV interviews and lectures to promote Korea, and I lived my life working hard." She also added, "But at the end of 2019 COVID broke out, and I had no choice but to give up everything in Inner Mongolia, and my body and mind were hurt," and said, "Manager, do you know the life I have lived? What do you know about me, turning me into gossip?"
Moreover, on her SNS profile she listed, "Inner Mongolia Pogang Medical University Hospital Korea Plastic Surgery center director (special appointment professor), S&H Medi Group CEO (hospital management, foreign patient recruitment, overseas hospital consulting), (Lioracell) hospital exclusive. home care exclusive specialized cosmetics," asserting she was a medical professional related to plastic surgery.
However, on the evening of the 7th, one of the physician groups, the doctors' group for a fair society (abbreviated Gonguimo), said the Inner Mongolia Pogang Medical University that A claimed to have attended is a nonexistent "ghost medical school," and even if A graduated from a local Chinese medical school, practicing medicine in Korea would be illegal. A deleted all her personal SNS posts, strengthening claims that she is not an actual medical professional.
In a statement titled "Park Na-rae's 'injection aunt' came from Pogang medical school, the reality is a 'ghost medical school'," the doctors' group said, "A, known as comedian Park Na-rae's 'injection aunt,' denied illegal medical practice and claimed on Instagram that she 'served as a professor at Inner Mongolia Pogang Medical University Hospital.' However, upon verification, the medical school called 'Pogang Medical University' did not exist."
According to the doctors' group, the number of Chinese medical schools is confirmed to be between 162 and 171 depending on counting methods. Inner Mongolia is one of China's 33 provincial-level administrative regions, yet the 'Inner Mongolia Pogang Medical University' cannot be found in materials from China's official medical school accreditation body, the "National List of Clinical Medicine Universities."
Above all, the doctors' group emphasized that even if the 'injection aunt' graduated from a Chinese medical school, practicing medicine in Korea would be clearly illegal. They explained, "Graduates of Chinese medical schools are not granted eligibility to take Korea's national medical licensing examination. Even if A graduated from a Chinese-recognized medical school and holds a Chinese medical license, Korea does not recognize graduates of Chinese medical schools. Therefore, it is fundamentally impossible for a Chinese medical school graduate to obtain a Korean medical license, and if they performed medical acts in Korea, that is clearly illegal."
Meanwhile, on the night of the 7th, a Park Na-rae representative told OSEN, "We are currently preparing an additional statement. We cannot confirm a specific distribution time yet, but it is being prepared and will be made available tomorrow (8th) once written. As far as I know, there are no changes to the I Live Alone shooting schedule planned for tomorrow," as an official position. Attention is focused on Park Na-rae's forthcoming additional statement.
The following is the full text of the doctors' group's statement regarding Park Na-rae's 'injection aunt' coming from a ghost university.
Park Na-rae's 'injection aunt' came from Pogang medical school, the reality is a 'ghost medical school'
A, known as comedian Park Na-rae's 'injection aunt,' denied illegal medical practice and on the 7th claimed on Instagram, "I served as a professor at Inner Mongolia Pogang Medical University Hospital." However, the doctors' group for a fair society (hereafter Gonguimo) confirmed that a medical school called 'Pogang Medical University' does not exist.
Inner Mongolia is one of China's 33 provincial-level administrative regions. The number of Chinese medical schools is confirmed to be between 162 and 171 depending on counting methods. According to materials from China's official medical school accreditation body, the "National List of Clinical Medicine Universities," there are 162 medical schools in China, and there are only the following four medical schools located in the Inner Mongolia region.
① Inner Mongolia Medical University
② School of Medicine, Inner Mongolia University for the Nationalities
③ Chifeng Medical University (Chifeng medical school)
④ Baotou Medical College (Baotou medical school)
The 'Pogang Medical University' that A claimed to have served as a professor at was not found on the list of 162 medical schools. In other tallies, including the 171 medical schools listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools, the only medical schools located in Inner Mongolia were the same four, and 'Pogang Medical University' did not exist.
Graduates of Chinese medical schools are not granted eligibility to take Korea's national medical licensing examination. Even if A graduated from a recognized Chinese medical school and holds a Chinese medical license, Korea does not recognize graduates of Chinese medical schools. Therefore, it is fundamentally impossible for a Chinese medical school graduate to obtain a Korean medical license, and if they practiced medicine in Korea, that is clearly illegal.
Also, someone who is not a doctor can still use the title 'medical school professor.' Even if A actually used that title, it is necessary to separately verify whether she is a medical professional, and a thorough investigation is needed.
