'The fallout from the so-called 'injection aunt gate' sparked by comedian Park Na-rae spread to broadcaster Jun Hyun-moo, but it has been officially confirmed that this is not true. Questions arose after a past broadcast captured a scene of him receiving an IV in a car, but it was explained that it was treatment according to formal medical procedures.'
On the 19th, Jun Hyun-moo's agency SM C&C told OSEN, "At the time Jun Hyun-moo's throat was not in good condition, so he received diagnosis, prescription and treatment from the attending physician at the hospital," adding, "Because of the tight filming schedule, under the doctor's judgment he was moving while finishing the procedure, and part of that process was exposed on the broadcast."
They added, "All medical procedures except for the finishing of the procedure were carried out inside the hospital according to the medical staff's judgment and prescription, and there was absolutely no personal summons of medical personnel or illegal procedures."
The scene in question was shown on MBC's I Live Alone, which aired on Jan. 29, 2016. At the time Jun Hyun-moo was suffering from vocal cord nodules because of a busy schedule, and he envied Kim Young-chul and Yuk Joong-wan enjoying rest at a jjimjilbang and shared a photo of himself receiving an IV in the car in the group chat. Seeing this, Kim Young-chul called in surprise, and Jun Hyun-moo explained, "My throat isn't good so I'm getting treatment." At the time it was only a topic as the "passionate life of an entertainer," and there was no controversy.
But recently, allegations arose that Park Na-rae received illegal medical procedures from an unlicensed practitioner, and when it became known that SHINee's Key and YouTuber Ipjjalbeun Haetnim were also involved with the same person, Jun Hyun-moo, a cast member of I Live Alone, also became a target of suspicion. The agency drew a line, saying, "This is a misunderstanding caused by only parts of the footage being mentioned online without the full context being conveyed."
Shortly after this explanation, Jun Hyun-moo again received the spotlight as the winner of the 2025 KBS Entertainment Awards. On the afternoon of the 20th, at the ceremony broadcast live on KBS 2TV, he walked onto the stage as if he could not believe it when his name was called as the grand prize winner.
Jun Hyun-moo opened with his trademark wit, saying, "I naturally thought Park Bo-gum would win. Honestly, I only prepared an acceptance speech for the SBS award, so I had no expectation at all," and added, "In 2005, when I was preparing to become an announcer, I remember saying, 'I will definitely go to KBS next year' and sharpening myself to prepare. I joined with difficulty and learned entertainment here," showing deep affection for his home network KBS.
But behind the laughter there was also an untold pain. He said, "The hardest thing for an entertainer is that even when I'm having a hard time I have to make others laugh," and confessed, "Actually, my father has been very ill lately, and I have been going back and forth to the hospital and having a difficult time." The sincere confession hushed the venue. Jun Hyun-moo concluded his remarks, saying, "I don't think an entertainer's whole job is just making others laugh. I will try to be a decent person who makes people feel pleased when they see me."
Having thoroughly washed away the misunderstanding of the 'IV allegations,' Jun Hyun-moo took home the grand prize at his home network KBS. His sincerity, which quietly kept his place amid controversy, resonates even more deeply.<
