'Injection Aunt' controversy expands beyond comedian Park Na-rae

The investigation into the "Injection Aunt" case, which centers around allegations of illegal medical treatment linked to comedian Park Na-rae, is expanding to encompass other celebrities reportedly summoned by authorities for questioning regarding their alleged associations with the case. The controversy has escalated following the police's questioning of broadcaster Jun Hyun-moo, members Key and Onew from the boy band SHINee, and YouTuber HAETNIM.

Police stated that the Seoul Gangnam Police Station conducted one-on-one interrogations with these individuals between June and July as part of their probe into claims that they received medical procedures from an unlicensed practitioner.

The individuals are accused of having received medical treatment from a woman identified as A, also known by the nickname "Injection Aunt." A is purportedly not licensed to practice medicine in Korea and allegedly conducted medical procedures at various locations, including officetels and inside vehicles. Authorities are reportedly concentrating on ascertaining whether those questioned had prior knowledge that A was not a legitimate medical practitioner.
