The truth behind the 'injection aunt gate' that turned the entertainment industry into chaos is revealed.
On the 24th, SBS'Unanswered Questions' will probe the substance of the injection aunt controversy, which alleges illegal medical practices performed on famous entertainers.
Urology specialist Hong Seong-woo, who gained fame as 'Kkwachuhyung' on radio and variety shows. He said that in November last year, an acquaintance introduced him to a woman. She was a woman in her 40s who introduced herself as the head of a cosmetic surgery clinic in Gangnam and the CEO of a company that attracts foreign patients.
"She said she was inviting doctors from overseas to build hospitals. She said she had received a lot of investment, so she must be a big deal in business." (Hong Seong-woo, 'Kkwachuhyung')
The woman, who said she visited Director Hong's clinic and proposed a business to expand into overseas hospitals, was introduced as an older sister at a cosmetic surgery clinic whom the mutual acquaintance knew, and when Director Hong spoke with her she seemed like a doctor. But a few days later, the woman appeared noisily in the news with a suspicious title.
Comedian Park Na-rae, who enjoyed peak popularity but was engulfed in controversy after former managers exposed allegations of abuse of power. One of the controversies surrounding her was that she received medicine, injections or IVs from someone without a medical license outside of a hospital, and the person in question was revealed to be this woman.
An acquaintance who introduced the woman to Director Hong was Park Na-rae. As other famous entertainers also said they believed the woman was a doctor and received medical procedures from her, the controversy grew, but the woman accused of being the so-called injection aunt denied the allegations as unfair.
"Park Na-rae came to our house only once, three years ago. We are not the injection aunt, and the real injection aunt is someone else." (the woman's husband)
The production team, who had difficulty meeting the woman's husband, said he denied the allegations against his wife as nonsense. He said she has a medical license sufficient to be appointed a professor at a Chinese hospital, and that she only did occasional favors for entertainers she was friendly with and did not perform illegal medical acts.
Is the woman's claim that the real injection aunt is someone else true to entertainers? What is the identity of the injection aunt, and where and how could they obtain so many drugs and injectables? On Saturday the 24th at 11:10 p.m., SBS'Unanswered Questions' will investigate the controversy surrounding Park Na-rae and the injection aunt, while tracking the reality of illegal medical practices and the hidden connections.
