Jun Hyun-moo Denies Allegations of Illegal Medical Procedures Amid 'Injection Auntie' Controversy

Amidst the ongoing controversy involving celebrities like Park Na-rae and Ki over alleged illegal medical procedures, known as the 'Injection Auntie' scandal, broadcaster Jun Hyun-moo has firmly denied any involvement in such activities.

On the 19th, Jun Hyun-moo's agency, SM C&C, released a statement to clarify the facts regarding past broadcast footage that has been circulating online. The agency stated, "The scene in question is from a 2016 episode of 'I Live Alone.' At that time, Jun Hyun-moo was experiencing throat issues and received treatment based on the diagnosis and prescription of a hospital doctor. Due to time constraints before filming, a portion of the treatment process was unavoidably completed while on the move, which was partially aired."

The agency further explained, "All medical procedures, except for the final touches, were conducted within the hospital under the guidance and prescription of medical professionals. There was no personal summoning of medical personnel or receipt of illegal procedures." They added, "The current allegations stem from misunderstandings due to the lack of context and full understanding of the situation at the time, with certain scenes being discussed online. We urge restraint from baseless speculation and distorted interpretations to prevent the spread of misinformation."
