“Controversy Forces Another Departure from Amazing Saturday”

Another cast member has departed from the popular variety show Amazing Saturday due to the ongoing “injection auntie” controversy. Following the exits of Park Na Rae and SHINee‘s Key, YouTuber Short Mouth Sun announced her decision to withdraw from all ongoing programs, including Amazing Saturday, amid allegations of illegal medical treatment.

In a statement released on her official YouTube channel on March 19, 2024, Short Mouth Sun addressed the allegations surrounding her involvement with an individual known only as “A.” This person has faced scrutiny for allegedly practicing medicine without a license on both Park Na Rae and Key. Short Mouth Sun expressed her regret, stating, “I am reflecting on and sorting through the controversies and suspicions raised. If there are mistakes on my part, I will admit them without making excuses or avoiding responsibility.”

She described her initial encounter with “A,” revealing that she met the individual at a hospital in Gangnam-gu, South Korea, through a mutual acquaintance. Believing “A” to be a qualified doctor, she accepted treatment from them. Short Mouth Sun clarified, “On days I was busy, [A] did come to my home. However, I have never been to their home.”

Acknowledging her oversight, she said, “It was a serious oversight on my part not to be more careful and act more prudently regarding various circumstances, and I deeply regret this.” In light of the controversy, Short Mouth Sun has decided to suspend her YouTube activities and all scheduled appearances.

The situation escalated when Dispatch reported suspicions that Short Mouth Sun had received illegal medical treatments from “A.” It was alleged that she was involved in the distribution of psychotropic medications from “A” to Park Na Rae’s manager. While she confirmed receiving swelling medication from the hospital where “A” worked, Short Mouth Sun firmly denied any connection to diet pills or intravenous fluids provided by “A.”

Short Mouth Sun expressed remorse for her actions, stating, “I sincerely apologize to everyone who has loved and supported me despite my shortcomings, and I will approach this matter with a sincere attitude, doing my best. Once again, I apologize to all the many people who have cheered me on.”

This unfolding drama highlights the ongoing challenges faced by those in the entertainment industry regarding reputation and accountability. With multiple cast changes stemming from this controversy, fans and followers are left questioning the future of Amazing Saturday and its remaining members. As the investigation continues, the implications of these allegations may resonate far beyond the show itself.
