SHINee's Key and comedian Park Na-rae have been swept up in allegations of ties to illegal cosmetic procedures — specifically, rumored links to a figure nicknamed the 'injection aunt.'
On various online communities, posts and photos — believed to be from the past SNS of a woman known as A, the so-called injection aunt — have been spreading.
A claimed they received Key's albums via courier service, writing things like, "It's been over 10 years, so of course I thought I'd get it first whenever a new album dropped," and even shared a photo of aquatic plants apparently gifted by Key while chatting casually. A necklace from a luxury brand accompanied by messages like "Just thank you" also fueled speculation that A and Key maintained a close relationship for a significant period.
