Police searched and seized the home of a woman known as the "injection aunt" in connection with allegations that TV personality Park Na-rae, 41, received illegal medical procedures.
Seoul Gangnam Police said on the 7th that they searched and seized the home and other locations of a non-medical professional surnamed Lee late last month on suspicion of violating the Medical Service Act, the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, and the Narcotics Control Act regarding psychotropic substances.
Lee is suspected of performing illegal medical procedures by administering IV drips and prescribing antidepressants to Park Na-rae in an officetel and a vehicle without a Korean medical license.
YouTuber Short Mouth Sun, 45, whose real name is Kim Mi-kyung, and SHINee member Key, 35, whose real name is Kim Ki-bum, who admitted receiving house-call treatment from Lee, have also suspended broadcasting activities.
Police plan to summon Lee and Park for questioning soon after analyzing the seized materials.
