    Korea Times Dec 19, 2025

    A popular mukbang YouTuber, known as Short Mouth Sun, has admitted to illegally receiving medical services and announced she will suspend all broadcasting activities. In a post on her YouTube channel Friday, the YouTuber, whose real name is Kim Mi-kyung, apologized for "causing concern" and said she decided to "drop out of the programs and suspend activities." Her announcement came a day after reports surfaced suggesting she was involved in the illegal medical service controversy surrounding comedian Park Na-rae and SHINee's Key, both of whom admitted to receiving medical service from an unlicensed practitioner known as "injection aunt." The YouTuber runs a mukbang channel, with more than 1.75 million subscribers, showing her eat large quantities of food while interacting with audiences through a camera. She has starred on tvN's "Amazing Saturday" since 2018, alongside Park and Key.
