A YouTube video featuring K-pop star Miyeon from the girl group i-dle undergoing a medical checkup has caused a stir, leading the production team to deny any sponsorship or promotional intent behind the content. The Jeondosa wellness show's team released a statement on Tuesday to clarify any potential misunderstandings. The producers explained that the show focuses on health, beauty and wellness stories, asserting that the episode was intended to record the cast member's actual medical examination rather than promote a specific medical clinic.
They emphasized that they had not received any requests from the clinic where the filming took place to advertise or promote the content, nor did they receive any financial compensation for the production costs, advertising fees, or sponsorship fees. The team clarified that they covered Miyeon's medical expenses, stating they had no intention of promoting any particular medical facility or personnel.
They also mentioned that certain scenes identifying the clinic were blurred during the re-editing process.
