Overview
- SM Entertainment said Key was introduced to the woman at a Gangnam clinic and initially received treatment there believing she was a doctor.
- When clinic visits became difficult, he received medical care at home on several occasions, which the agency now acknowledges involved an unlicensed practitioner.
- Key will step down from tvN’s Amazing Saturday and MBC’s I Live Alone, and producers confirmed he is no longer hosting the MBC Entertainment Awards on Dec. 29.
- Public scrutiny intensified after the woman’s social media featured images linked to Key, including photos of his dog and home, leading to his Instagram apology.
- SM apologized for a delayed response due to his U.S. tour schedule, while medical groups and authorities continue examining the practitioner and related Park Na-rae allegations.
