UPDATE: A significant shake-up is underway for the popular variety show Amazing Saturday as yet another cast member departs amidst the escalating “injection auntie” controversy. Following the exits of Park Na Rae and SHINee member Key, Short Mouth Sun has announced her withdrawal from the show and all scheduled activities effective immediately.
In a shocking revelation just hours ago on October 19, 2023, YouTuber Short Mouth Sun addressed the allegations linked to the “injection auntie” in a detailed video statement. She expressed her remorse, stating, “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.”
These developments come after Dispatch uncovered that Short Mouth Sun was allegedly involved with an unlicensed practitioner known only as A, previously implicated in providing illegal medical treatments to both Park Na Rae and Key. In her statement, she claimed to have unknowingly received medical treatment from A, who she believed to be a qualified doctor. “I had the understanding that Lee was an actual physician,” she noted, while also admitting a “serious oversight” in her judgment.
The controversy intensified as reports emerged suggesting Short Mouth Sun may have facilitated the delivery of psychotropic drugs from A to Park Na Rae’s manager. Although she has denied these allegations, stating, “I did receive swelling medication from the hospital where A worked, but the diet pills and intravenous fluids are unrelated,” the damage to her reputation has been profound.
Short Mouth Sun, visibly shaken by the fallout, announced her decision to step back from her YouTube channel and all ongoing programs, including Amazing Saturday. “I sincerely apologize to everyone who has loved and supported me despite my shortcomings,” she expressed, pledging to approach the situation with sincerity moving forward.
The ongoing investigation into the “injection auntie” scandal continues to unfold, raising questions about the safety and accountability of celebrities seeking medical treatments in South Korea. As this story develops, viewers will be closely watching the implications for Amazing Saturday and its remaining cast members.
Stay tuned for updates as authorities continue to clarify the circumstances surrounding this troubling issue. The impact of this controversy is likely to resonate beyond the show, affecting the perception of celebrity endorsements and medical practices in the entertainment industry.
