URGENT UPDATE: The variety show Amazing Saturday faces another significant shakeup as cast member Short Mouth Sun announces her exit amid the escalating “injection auntie” controversy. This development follows the earlier departures of Park Na Rae and SHINee’s Key, intensifying scrutiny surrounding the show’s cast.
In a shocking statement released early on October 19, 2023, via her official YouTube channel, Short Mouth Sun addressed the allegations linked to the unlicensed medical practices of an individual known as the “injection auntie.” She stated, “I am reflecting on and sorting through the controversies and suspicions raised. If there are mistakes on my part, I will admit them without making excuses or avoiding responsibility.”
The controversy erupted when Dispatch revealed that Short Mouth Sun had allegedly received unauthorized medical treatments from a person identified as A, previously connected to Park Na Rae and Key. According to reports, A has been accused of practicing medicine without a license, raising red flags about the safety and legality of the treatments provided.
Short Mouth Sun clarified her connection to A, saying, “I first met the person involved, Lee, at a hospital in Gangnam-gu through an introduction from an acquaintance.” She claimed she believed Lee was a certified physician and received treatment accordingly. However, she acknowledged, “It was a serious oversight on my part not to be more careful and act more prudently regarding various circumstances, and I deeply regret this.”
The fallout from this controversy is severe, as Short Mouth Sun announced her decision to withdraw from all ongoing programs, including Amazing Saturday and her YouTube activities. “I sincerely apologize to everyone who has loved and supported me despite my shortcomings,” she expressed, emphasizing her commitment to address the situation responsibly.
As the scandal deepens, further allegations suggest that Short Mouth Sun may have facilitated the delivery of psychotropic drugs from A to Park Na Rae’s manager, further complicating her involvement in this troubling situation. Although she denied these specific claims, stating, “I did receive swelling medication from the hospital where A worked, but the diet pills and intravenous fluids are unrelated,” the implications of her association with A have raised serious concerns.
This ongoing controversy has captured the attention of fans and the media alike, highlighting the potential dangers of unregulated medical practices in South Korea. The departures of Park Na Rae and Key, coupled with Short Mouth Sun’s exit, leave Amazing Saturday facing an uncertain future.
As the situation continues to develop, viewers are left wondering who will fill the void left by these controversial exits and how this scandal will impact the show’s reputation moving forward. Stay tuned for more updates as authorities investigate the extent of these allegations and their implications for the entertainment industry.
