SHINee member Key (real name Kim Ki-beom) and YouTuber IpJjal-eunHaetnim (real name Kim Mi-kyung) were investigated by police on suspicion of receiving illegal medical procedures from a woman referred to as "Syringe Mom" (A).

According to the Seoul Gangnam Police Station, Key and IpJjal-eunHaetnim were summoned in July under suspicion of violating the Medical Act and other charges, and were questioned as suspects. Earlier, in May, broadcaster Park Na-rae also appeared before police for a third summons on similar charges.

All three individuals are suspected of receiving illegal medical procedures from A. In February, A was investigated by police for administering IV drips and prescribing antidepressants to them in private spaces such as office apartments and vehicles without a valid Korean medical license. By the end of 2025, authorities had imposed an exit ban on A and conducted searches and seizures at her residence and other locations.

The Gangnam Police Station is currently investigating all three cases jointly. IpJjal-eunHaetnim filed a complaint with Seoul Mapo Police Station in December 2025, which was later transferred to the Gangnam Police Station. Key's complaint was filed at the Gangnam Police Station earlier this year.

Ultimately, both admitted to having received medical treatment from A and ceased their broadcasting activities. Key resumed his activities last June.
