Onew’s Agency Says 2022 Clinic Visit Was Skincare Only, Not Illegal Treatment

GRIFFIN Entertainment says the SHINee singer visited a Sinsa-dong clinic in 2022 for skincare, unaware of any licensing issues.

Overview

  • GRIFFIN Entertainment issued a statement clarifying that Onew received only skincare at a Sinsa-dong clinic in April 2022 and gifted a signed CD as thanks.
  • The agency asked the public to stop spreading unverified claims following online posts linking Onew to the so-called “injection auntie.”
  • Social media scrutiny intensified after users surfaced a suspected account of the unlicensed provider showing a photo of Onew’s signed CD and links to other celebrities.
  • Police have opened an investigation into potential violations of medical and narcotics laws after a complaint by former Korean Medical Association president Lim Hyun-taek.
  • Dispatch previously reported that Park Na-rae received IV drips and other treatments from the unlicensed individual, while Park separately faces staff abuse complaints that she denies as she countersues for blackmail.
