"Curious Story Y" featured additional testimony from victims of the 'injection aunt.'
The Feb. 2 broadcast of SBS's "Curious Story Y" focused on how the so-called 'injection aunt' controversy surrounding broadcaster Park Narae spread.
Earlier, Park Narae abruptly suspended activities after allegations of abusive treatment of managers were followed by accusations that she received illegal medical procedures. According to former managers' disclosures, Park Narae received injections in places that were not hospitals, and there were claims that she received medications without a prescription.
The procedure in question is known to have been received from a person surnamed Lee, who was nicknamed the 'injection aunt.' In addition, a close friend of Park Narae and YouTuber Short Mouth Sun also admitted to receiving medical procedures from that person, and the controversy spread throughout the entertainment industry.
According to the broadcast, the 'injection aunt' often posted photos on her personal social media of traveling abroad, especially to Inner Mongolia, and actively flaunted her connections with celebrities. Acquaintances said, "She seemed to regard her relationships with celebrities as a kind of power." There was testimony that she actually sent performance gifts to Ki, and behaved like an ardent fan by visiting performance and event venues in person.
A celebrity known to know the 'injection aunt,' person B, said, "She contacted me first saying she was such a big fan," and among those around her there was speculation that "after past controversies related to an idol group, she suddenly tried to expand businesses such as selling cosmetics." It was explained that in such a process trust accumulated, and she gradually came to be called a "doctor."
The broadcast continued with testimony from people who said they actually received procedures. One informant complained, "I received filler injections inside an office, and the side effects were so severe that my face turned red." Another patient said, "I received diet injections and had severe body aches; I suspected it was because of the injections, but she said that she placed the needles at the right acupuncture points so it would work and recommended a 'golden medicine,'" and added, "When a licensed hospital nurse gave it, it did not hurt that much."
An acquaintance who said she met Lee 12 years ago at a Birthcare Center claimed, "She introduced herself as a doctor," and "I saw her give injections myself and witnessed her administering diet injections all over the body." She added, "She said no one knew the composition of the obesity injection, and she knew that celebrities came to get it."
The broadcast noted that Lee was not confirmed as a doctor in China or anywhere in Korea. There was also an allegation that her husband served as a courier for medications. When reporters asked whether he was her husband, the man said, "No. I don't know her and it's hard to answer," and asserted, "The procedures have nothing to do with me, and she is not my wife." He then said, "Please wait on the first floor," went back into the house and never showed himself.
Through this case, the producers focused on the dangers of medical impersonation and illegal procedures marketed on the basis of celebrity connections, and the distorted structure of trust formed as a result<
