An obstetrics and gynecology clinic's chief director, active on broadcast and YouTube, was caught by police while administering propofol at the hospital they run.
According to the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on the 10th, A, the chief director of an obstetrics and gynecology clinic in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, was arrested in the act on suspicion of violating the Narcotics Control Act and is under investigation.
A is suspected of self-administering propofol used at the hospital they run on the 6th.
Police were dispatched to the scene after receiving a related report at the time, and A was reportedly unconscious.
Propofol is a drug used to anesthetize patients during surgeries and examinations. However, because the risk of misuse and abuse is high, it is designated and managed as a narcotic, and even medical professionals can be punished if they administer it arbitrarily outside proper procedures.
A is known to have built recognition by sharing information on women's health through terrestrial broadcasts and YouTube content.
Police plan to examine, during the investigation, how A administered and obtained the propofol and whether it was habitual.
