Another Cast Member Exits “Amazing Saturday” Amid Medical Controversy

The popular variety show Amazing Saturday faces further upheaval as another cast member departs due to the ongoing “injection auntie” controversy. Following the exits of Park Na Rae and SHINee member Key, YouTuber Short Mouth Sun has announced she will withdraw from all current programs, including her participation in the show.

In a detailed statement released on her official YouTube channel on the morning of October 19, 2023, Short Mouth Sun addressed the allegations surrounding her interactions with an unlicensed practitioner known as “A.” She expressed regret over her naivety regarding the medical professional’s identity, stating, “I first met the person involved, Lee, at a hospital in Gangnam-gu through an introduction from an acquaintance. Without any doubt, I believed Lee was a doctor and received medical treatment from them.”

Short Mouth Sun took responsibility for her actions and acknowledged the oversight in trusting the individual without verifying their credentials. She stated, “It was a serious oversight on my part not to be more careful and act more prudently,” emphasizing her commitment to accountability. In light of the controversy, she expressed her regret to fans, saying, “I sincerely apologize to everyone who has loved and supported me despite my shortcomings.”

The controversy has drawn significant attention following reports by the media outlet Dispatch. The outlet disclosed allegations that Short Mouth Sun had received illegal medical treatments from the individual known as “A,” who has previously been linked to similar accusations involving Park Na Rae and Key. This has raised concerns about the potential distribution of diet pills and intravenous fluids, with reports suggesting that she may have facilitated the transfer of psychotropic drugs to Park Na Rae’s manager.

Despite the severity of the allegations, Short Mouth Sun denied any wrongdoing in her statement to Dispatch, clarifying, “I did receive swelling medication from the hospital where A worked, but the diet pills and intravenous fluids are unrelated.”

The fallout from this controversy has prompted significant changes in the cast of Amazing Saturday, creating uncertainty about the show’s future as it navigates through these serious allegations of illegal medical practices associated with its members. As Short Mouth Sun steps away from her commitments, the entertainment landscape continues to react to the implications of this situation, leaving viewers and fans eager for clarity and resolution.
