What’s Happening with Kang Min-kyung?
Hey guys! So, something a little weird has been bubbling up online involving one of Korea’s most loved vocalists, Kang Min-kyung from Davichi. Out of nowhere, she had to post a statement on her Instagram to shut down some pretty wild rumors connecting her to a controversial figure nicknamed the “Jusa-imo,” or “Injection Auntie.”
For those who don’t know, this ‘Injection Auntie’ is at the center of a scandal involving claims of providing private medical treatments, like IV drips, to celebrities outside of a hospital setting, which is a big no-no here. When her social media account was revealed, internet sleuths immediately started digging through her ‘following’ list.
The ‘Death Note’ Connection
This is where it gets dramatic. Netizens found that the ‘Injection Auntie’ follows a bunch of famous people, including Kang Min-kyung. This led to a super spooky fan theory online, calling the follow list the “Injection Auntie’s Death Note.” It’s a reference to the famous anime, implying that anyone on the list might be involved or could face trouble soon. It’s a total stretch, but you know how fast things can spread online!
Kang Min-kyung’s Classy Clapback
Seeing the rumors bubble up in her comments, Kang Min-kyung addressed the issue directly. On December 20th, she posted a message saying she was speaking up cautiously because people were asking about things unrelated to her.
She wrote, “Due to the nature of SNS, it’s difficult to know everyone who follows my account. However, the things you are worried about are completely unrelated to me.” She added that she didn’t want to cause any unnecessary worry for her fans, especially with Davichi’s concert coming up in January. It was a quick, clear, and firm denial.
Why It’s a Big Deal
This whole situation highlights the pressure Korean celebrities are under. Just being followed by a controversial account can spark a nationwide scandal, forcing you to publicly defend yourself over something you have zero control over. It’s pretty intense! Thankfully, Min-kyung handled it with grace and shut it down before it could get any bigger. Now, everyone can go back to being excited for the upcoming Davichi concert!
