YouTuber IpjjalbeunHaetnim has also been swept up in allegations surrounding comedian Park Narae's "injection aunt," and Amazing Saturday is checking the facts.
On the 18th, a representative of tvN variety program Amazing Saturday told OSEN, "We have received news related to cast member IpjjalbeunHaetnim and are currently verifying the facts."
That afternoon, a media outlet reported that IpjjalbeunHaetnim was also involved with Park Narae and her "injection aunt," who recently face allegations of illegal medical activity. In that report, IpjjalbeunHaetnim's side denied the related allegations, saying she had received swelling medication from the "injection aunt" but had never been prescribed injections or IVs to be administered at home.
The so-called "injection aunt" Lee was a figure mentioned amid disputes between Park Narae and former managers; the former managers alleged that Park Narae called the "injection aunt" and a "IV aunt" to her home and rehearsal sites to receive proxy prescriptions and illegal medical procedures such as injections. The former managers also accused Park Narae of power harassment and running an unregistered one-person agency, and filed complaints. Park Narae, while saying she feels responsible and halting activities, filed a countersuit against the former managers on extortion charges, and has remained silent about controversies such as the "injection aunt," saying she will settle the matter in court.
Moreover, the "injection aunt" Lee was revealed to have known SHINee member Key. Key said he once visited a dermatology clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, where Lee worked after an introduction from an acquaintance, received treatment at the clinic, and later received treatment at home when clinic visits were difficult. However, because he believed Lee to be a medical professional, he said he was shocked when he learned of the recent controversy and has halted activities.
Amid this, allegations of IpjjalbeunHaetnim's involvement were also raised. Coincidentally, Park Narae, Key and IpjjalbeunHaetnim all appear as regular members on Amazing Saturday. Park Narae and Key have halted activities and left the show, but previously recorded episodes remain and are scheduled to air.
