What’s Going On?
You guys, some crazy stuff is going down in the Korean entertainment world right now. You know Kian84, the super popular webtoon artist who’s also on a bunch of variety shows like ‘I Live Alone’? Well, a seemingly random comment he made months ago is blowing up online. It’s all connected to a pretty serious scandal involving his friend and fellow comedian, Park Na-rae.
The “Injection Auntie” Scandal
So, Park Na-rae, one of Korea’s most famous female comedians, is currently wrapped up in a controversy involving something called a “Jusa-imo” (주사이모), which literally translates to “Injection Auntie.” This refers to people who aren’t licensed doctors or nurses but visit celebrities’ homes to give them IV drips and other injections. This is illegal in Korea, and the controversy has gotten so big that Park Na-rae has actually paused all her TV appearances. It’s a huge deal right now.
Kian84’s “Prophetic” Joke
Here’s where Kian84 comes in. About four months ago, on his YouTube channel, he was visiting the home of actress Lee Se-hee. They were talking about skincare, and she brought out a high-frequency beauty device she bought secondhand. After some pleasant chat, Kian84 joked, “After all that beautiful talk, you suddenly bring this out… it’s like you’re an unlicensed home-visit therapist.”
At the time, everyone just laughed it off. But now, with the “Jusa-imo” scandal in full swing, people are looking back at that clip and thinking, “Wait a minute…”
Netizens are Buzzing
Korean netizens are masters of digging things up, and this clip is now everywhere. The comments sections are flooded with theories like, “The timing is too perfect to be a coincidence,” and “Did he know something about Park Na-rae’s situation?” Of course, it was likely just a random joke, but given his close friendship with Park Na-rae from ‘I Live Alone’, the speculation is running wild. It’s a classic case of an old, innocent comment gaining a whole new, dramatic meaning because of current events.
