The variety show Amazing Saturday faces another cast change following the ongoing controversy surrounding the so-called “injection auntie.” After the departures of Park Na Rae and SHINee’s Key, Short Mouth Sun has also announced her exit amid allegations related to unlicensed medical practices.
In a video posted on her official YouTube channel on October 19, 2023, Short Mouth Sun addressed the allegations, stating, “I am reflecting on and sorting through the controversies and suspicions raised.” She admitted to some oversight, revealing that she was unaware of the true identity of an individual named Lee, whom she believed to be a licensed doctor. “I deeply regret this,” she added.
Short Mouth Sun indicated that she would withdraw from all ongoing programs, including Amazing Saturday, and suspend her YouTube activities. She expressed her apologies to fans and supporters, stating, “I sincerely apologize to everyone who has loved and supported me despite my shortcomings.”
The controversy intensified when Dispatch reported allegations that Short Mouth Sun had received illegal medical treatments from an individual, referred to only as A, who had already faced scrutiny for practicing medicine without a license on both Park Na Rae and Key. The allegations suggest that Short Mouth Sun may have received diet pills or intravenous treatments from A, drawing significant public interest.
Despite these claims, Short Mouth Sun has reportedly denied any wrongdoing, telling Dispatch, “I did receive swelling medication from the hospital where A worked, but the diet pills and intravenous fluids are unrelated.” This statement has not quelled public scrutiny, as details continue to emerge about the extent of A’s involvement and the implications for those associated with the case.
The fallout from this controversy raises questions about the responsibility of public figures in ensuring their medical treatments are safe and conducted by licensed professionals. As the situation unfolds, the impact on Amazing Saturday and its remaining cast members remains to be seen.
In the wake of these developments, the entertainment industry is closely watching how this situation will evolve and what it means for the future of the show. With Short Mouth Sun’s departure, the program faces challenges in maintaining its viewer base while navigating the repercussions of this scandal.
