Singer and actor Block B's Pyo Jihoon (Pyo Jihoon) revealed behind-the-scenes photos of the bright Amazing Saturday set despite comedian Park Narae and SHINee's Key and Short Mouth Sun having left the show.
Pyo posted the photos on his personal SNS on the 25th with the caption Merry Christmas. The released photos showed Pyo and the cast preparing for the tvN variety show Amazing Saturday.
In particular, Amazing Saturday in the photos appeared to be decorated with a Christmas atmosphere. Pyo wore a Rudolph costume and accessories, showing off a cute charm. In addition, rappers Nucksal and Hanhae, former mixed martial artist Kim Dong-hyun, and comedian Moon Seyoon also drew attention wearing outfits exuding a Christmas mood, including Santa Claus and Olaf.
Among them, Park Narae, SHINee's Key, and Short Mouth Sun were not seen, drawing attention. Of course, other Amazing Saturday regulars such as comedian Shin Dong-yeob and Girls' Generation's Taeyeon were also not seen, but the absence of Park Narae, Key and Short Mouth Sun drew even more attention because all three recently left Amazing Saturday amid controversy.
Park Narae, Key and Short Mouth Sun suspended broadcasting activities and left Amazing Saturday in succession due to alleged illegal medical practices involving a person known as A, commonly called the "injection aunt." A is the figure accused by former managers of Park Narae of illegally prescribing and administering diet drugs and injections to Park Narae.
Regarding this, SHINee's Key and Short Mouth Sun said they met A at a hospital in Gangnam, Seoul, through an acquaintance and, believing A was a doctor, apologized for their ignorance and suspended broadcasting activities. Park Narae has sued her former managers on charges including blackmail and embezzlement and is expected to settle the dispute in court.
As a result, the Amazing Saturday production team, having suddenly lost three regular members at once, said they respect the decision to halt activities and that the members will not participate in recordings going forward, adding that there are currently no plans to recruit new members and that they would announce any changes if they occur.
