On the 19th, the YouTube channel 'Recent Olympics' posted a video titled 'MBC's 'Beautiful Comedian' who became a shaman... Shocking recent news that even acquaintances didn't know about.'
Kim Joo-yeon revealed her shocking current situation, saying that she has been a shaman since 2022. He said, "I've completely quit broadcasting. I have no regrets. To be honest, I don't even know the creator of comedy, but I'm very thankful for the 10 years I worked at MBC. At that time, my heart for comedy had already left."

Kim Joo-yeon said, "Isn't it absurd? I've suffered from a new disease since I was 34 years old. When I think about it now, it was all a new disease. It's a psychological phenomenon, but when I'm not feeling well, I bleed. That's why I bleed." “I did it for two years. I was a new recruit, and all I could think was, ‘I’m not feeling well,’” he said.

Kim Joo-yeon said that after deciding to become a shaman, she had a conflict with her family, and expressed her determination, saying, "Now, I want to speak confidently (as a shaman) and do well." He confessed, "Because I was a shaman, all the people I was close to rejected me and became distant. They treated me like a strange person. I heard all kinds of stories. There was no shaman in my family, but I became one, so even my parents thought the same."
