The controversy surrounding broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo has resurfaced following a cryptic social media post by a figure known as 'Injection Auntie.' This comes after Jeon appeared to distance himself from allegations of 'illegal medical practices' by releasing his medical records.
On October 9, A, known as 'Injection Auntie,' posted on her social media, "Having a near-death experience changes your perspective," along with an image reminiscent of 'Jeon-Moo' and the logo of MBC's variety show 'I Live Alone,' which was later deleted. This post has been interpreted as a possible reference to Jeon Hyun-moo, a cast member of the show. Previously, after a police investigation, A had posted, "9-hour investigation. Now it's your turn. Especially one man," further fueling speculation with her suggestive language.
A is under investigation for allegedly performing medical procedures on celebrities without a medical license, violating medical and narcotics laws. This investigation has also implicated other celebrities, including Park Na-rae, Key, and YouTuber 'Short-Mouthed Sunshine.'
Jeon Hyun-moo's name has also been mentioned in connection with the controversy. A past episode of 'I Live Alone' featuring Jeon receiving an IV drip in a car has resurfaced, placing him at the center of the debate. However, his agency, SM C&C, clarified that the treatment was legal, conducted under hospital supervision and medical prescription. They also released his medical records to emphasize that there were no illegal procedures or private medical calls involved. It was also revealed that Jeon had been prescribed erectile dysfunction medication.
Despite these clarifications, A's recent posts hinting at Jeon following her police investigation have led to speculation that he might have been mentioned during the investigation. Consequently, there is cautious speculation that Jeon Hyun-moo might be considered for questioning as a witness, depending on the investigation's progress. As the 'Injection Auntie' controversy reignites, all eyes are on the unfolding developments surrounding Jeon Hyun-moo.
