Broadcaster Park Na-rae's former manager has raised additional allegations related to the so-called "injection auntie," widening the controversy.
On the 19th, an additional interview with Park Na-rae's former manager was aired on MBN 'News Fighter.' The former manager directly revealed pill packets that Park Na-rae had reportedly been receiving continuously from the "injection auntie," and the pill packets contained the pink so-called "butterfly pill" (diet pill) that was also confirmed with the YouTuber Ipjjalbeun Haetnim, who has recently been at the center of the controversy.
A psychiatrist who saw this said, "The drug in question is a controlled substance containing phentermine and is a medication that definitely requires a doctor's prescription," adding, "It suppresses appetite but can cause side effects such as irritability and palpitations (racing heart)." He went on to say, "Because it produces an awakening effect when drowsy or groggy, some people even drink alcohol to offset it, which accompanies additional side effects," and emphasized, "It has a high risk of abuse and is a drug for which doctors are limited from prescribing for more than 28 days."
The former manager also raised suspicion that Park Na-rae may already have developed a tolerance to the drug. He claimed, "She took not one packet but two packets of the medicine she takes before bed." He also said that the pill packets provided by the injection auntie were not clearly divided into the usual prescription times of "morning·noon·evening" and appeared to be arranged without time distinctions so they could be taken at any time, which made abuse seem likely.
In particular, testimony also emerged that "even if she received a two-month supply, she did not get a refill at a prescribed time; it was like being told to contact her when the medicine ran out." According to the former manager, the injection auntie even said during contact, "Ipjjalbeun Haetnim also takes the drug four times a day."
Meanwhile, Ipjjalbeun Haetnim has been booked on charges of receiving the diet pill "butterfly pill," classified as a controlled substance, from the 'injection auntie.' A complaint alleging that Ipjjalbeun Haetnim and his manager violated the Medical Service Act and the Narcotics Control Act was filed with the Seoul Mapo Police Station, and the narcotics crime investigation team has been assigned the case and will begin an investigation.
Ipjjalbeun Haetnim's side denied this, saying, "The person in question was prescribed a 'swelling medicine' at the hospital where they worked, but it is unrelated to diet pills (butterfly pill) or IV drips."
