Seoul: A popular mukbang YouTuber, known as Short Mouth Sun, has admitted to illegally receiving medical services and announced she will suspend all broadcasting activities.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the YouTuber, whose real name is Kim Mi-kyung, apologized for "causing concern" in a post on her YouTube channel. She stated that she decided to "drop out of the programs and suspend activities."

Her announcement came a day after reports surfaced suggesting her involvement in the illegal medical service controversy surrounding comedian Park Na-rae and SHINee's Key. Both Park and Key admitted to receiving medical service from an unlicensed practitioner known as "injection aunt."

The YouTuber operates a mukbang channel, boasting more than 1.75 million subscribers, where she eats large quantities of food while engaging with audiences through a camera. She has been a star on tvN's "Amazing Saturday" since 2018, alongside Park and Key.
