Why an Instagram Follow Is Causing a Stir
Hey everyone! So, you know how sometimes the tiniest thing in the K-entertainment world can blow up into a huge deal? Well, that’s exactly what just happened to Kang Min-kyung from Davichi. Fans noticed that a very controversial person, nicknamed ‘Jusa-imo’ (which literally translates to ‘Injection Auntie’), was following Min-kyung’s personal Instagram account. This immediately raised red flags, and people started demanding an explanation.
Who is ‘Jusa-imo’ and Why Is It a Scandal?
For those who don’t know, ‘Jusa-imo’ is at the center of a massive scandal that’s been rocking the Korean celebrity scene. The term refers to individuals, often with some medical background but without a proper license, who provide illegal medical treatments like IV drips outside of a hospital setting. [6, 8] This particular ‘Jusa-imo’ has been linked to several other famous stars, including comedian Park Na-rae and SHINee’s Key, who have since had to suspend their activities due to the controversy. The situation is serious because it involves illegal medical practices, so being associated with this person, even through a simple social media follow, is a huge PR risk.
Kang Min-kyung’s Quick and Clear Response
Seeing the rumors start to bubble up, Min-kyung didn’t wait. She took to her social media to post a clear and direct message. She explained that due to the nature of social media, it’s impossible for her to know every single person who follows her account. She then firmly stated, ‘The things you are worried about are completely unrelated to me.’ She added that she wanted to post the clarification so as not to cause any unnecessary worry for fans who are waiting for Davichi’s concert in January. It was a smart and swift move to get ahead of the story before it could turn into a real problem.
Crisis Averted
In the world of K-Pop, an artist’s reputation is everything, and even a false rumor can cause damage. By addressing the situation head-on with a polite but firm denial, Kang Min-kyung effectively shut down the speculation. Her fans praised her for the quick response and are now able to look forward to her upcoming performances without any distractions. It’s a perfect example of how quickly things can escalate online and why idols have to be so careful about their public image!
