SHINee Onew "'Injection Aunt' Controversy Unrelated… Visit for Dermatology Purpose"

Onew, a member of the group SHINee, has officially addressed the allegations of providing illegal medical services to broadcaster Park Na-rae, known as 'Injection Aunt'. His agency, Griffin Entertainment, revealed the circumstances of Onew's hospital visit in an official statement on the 11th.

Griffin Entertainment stated, "Onew first visited a hospital located in Sinsa-dong, Seoul, in April 2022 upon a friend's recommendation," and added, "Considering the size of the hospital at that time, it was difficult to grasp the current controversy regarding medical licenses that has arisen online."

Recently, it was revealed online that Onew had presented a signed CD to the Injection Aunt, raising suspicions of his involvement in illegal medical practices. In response, the agency clarified that the signed CD was merely a token of gratitude for the treatment received.

Griffin Entertainment stated, "The purpose of Onew's visit was for skin care, and the signed CD was simply an expression of gratitude for the treatment received," and expressed deep regret over the indiscriminate spread of false information regarding their artist.
