Broadcaster Kim Sook clarified rumors about her being from a "doctor family."

On the 14th, a video titled "More patients than doctors? A famous doctor family clarifies directly" was posted on tvN's official YouTube channel.

The video featured scenes from an episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' that aired last June.

When Kim Sook appeared as a guest at the time, MC Yoo Jae-suk said, "Your family is quite remarkable."

Kim Sook replied, "What kind of remarkable family? I have an older sister who is a doctor," to which Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Isn't she a famous person in Busan?"

Kim Sook then clarified, "She's not a famous person. We have five daughters. I am the youngest, and I have four older sisters. One is a doctor, and the rest are patients. The ratio of patients is higher. Yet people call it a doctor family."

Netizens who watched the video commented: "Starting with Jung Hae-in, did you aim for that tvN title?", "Are they pulling in all the doctor families from tvN?", "Doctor sister algorithm," "I like Kim Sook's humility," and "Your older sister is a famous doctor in Busan. She has both character and skill."

Kim Sook's remarks about her doctor sister were highlighted as a contrasting case to recent events involving actress Ha Young, who claimed her family had been doctors for four generations before it was revealed that her great-grandfather had collaborated with Japan.

On the 7th, during an episode of KBS 2TV's 'Problem Children in the Attic', Ha Young stated, "My great-grandfather opened Yang (Rep.) in Seoul as the first of its kind and treated Ko Jong (황제)." She also mentioned that her family has been doctors for four generations, including her great-grandfather, grandfather, father, mother, and older sister.

Subsequently, it was revealed that Ha Young's great-grandfather was Ahn Sang-ho, a collaborator with Japan who served as an advisory council member of the Daejeong Friendship Association, a pro-Japanese organization established in Seoul in 1919. In response, Ha Young's agency initially issued a statement saying "the claims are baseless," but later confirmed the facts and released a follow-up statement: "The actress is deeply troubled by this matter. We sincerely apologize for causing concern due to this incident and will move forward with greater caution and humility."
