Comedian Park Narae's "injection aunt" a person surnamed Lee has hired a major law firm and launched legal action.
Lee Jin-ho said on Feb. 2 on the YouTube channel "Yeonye duiteung" that "recently the injection aunt hired a major law firm. She is actively pursuing legal action."
He added, "Ipjjalbeun Haetnim appears to have actively received prescriptions for drugs herself, and there was evidence that she was prescribed narcotic psychotropic drugs. Not only that, but seeing that she received the drugs and actively distributed them to others, she is in a situation where she cannot avoid criminal punishment."
He continued, "Ipjjalbeun Haetnim's responsibility in this matter cannot be seen as light."
On Jan. 31, the police said Seoul Gangnam Police Station recently placed a travel ban on a nonmedical person surnamed Lee who is suspected of violating the Medical Service Act, the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act and of prescribing psychotropic substances under the Narcotics Control Act.
The person surnamed Lee is accused of performing illegal medical procedures, such as administering IV injections to Park Narae and prescribing antidepressants in an officetel and a vehicle, despite not holding a domestic medical license.
Prosecutors received a complaint on Jan. 6 from Im Hyun-taek, former president of the Korean Medical Association Organization, against the person surnamed Lee and then transferred the case to the police.
Meanwhile, on Jan. 3 former managers of Park Narae filed an application with the Seoul Western District Court to provisionally seize real estate worth about 100 million won, claiming Park Narae's abuse of power, special injury, proxy prescriptions, illegal medical procedures and unpaid production fees. They also warned of a damage compensation lawsuit, claiming harm suffered during their employment. In response, Park Narae denied the former managers' claims and instead countersued the former managers on charges of attempted extortion.
