Entertainer Jun Hyun-moo explained a past scene of getting an IV drip in a car, but was drawn into new controversy after the Korean Medical Association Organization pointed out that it could violate the Medical Service Act.
Kim Sung-geun, Spokesperson for the Korean Medical Association Organization, said on the 24th via Channel A, "Even if there is a doctor's prescription and the treatment took place inside a hospital, getting an injection afterward in one's own car is basically not allowed." The explanation was that medical practice outside a medical institution is, in principle, potentially illegal.
However, the prevailing view is that the likelihood of Jun Hyun-moo facing legal punishment is low. In general, if the person who received the procedure did not recognize its illegality and did not instigate a violation of the Medical Service Act, that person is not subject to punishment. In addition, considering that the statute of limitations under the Criminal Procedure Act is seven years, analysts say the chance of actual punishment based solely on the 2016 broadcast case is low.
Suspicions about Jun Hyun-moo first began when Park Narae, Key, and Short Mouth Sun halted activities amid allegations that they received illegal procedures from an "injection aunt." A photo of Jun Hyun-moo getting an IV drip in a car during a 2016 episode of I Live Alone resurfaced. In response, Jun Hyun-moo's agency released records showing that he was lawfully treated at a hospital at the time and denied the allegations of illegal procedures.
According to the 2016 medical records released by agency SM C&C, Jun Hyun-moo received hospital treatment three times for conditions including pharyngitis and laryngitis, and the IV drip was emphasized as a medical staff decision to aid treatment. After the materials were released, the fact that the prescription list included "M-Vix," an erectile dysfunction medication, unexpectedly drew attention online.
