As Key, a member of the group SHINee, announced a hiatus from activities, the production of the YouTube variety show "Closet Raider Reboot," in which he appeared as an MC, will also be suspended. On the 17th, the production team of the YouTube channel "DdeunDdeun" announced through their official channel that "'Closet Raider Reboot' will cease uploading further episodes." The production team added, "After comprehensively considering the position of the cast member and the related circumstances, we have decided to conclude the production of this content. We sincerely thank the subscribers who have cherished and supported the content so far, and we ask for your understanding regarding this sudden news."
"Closet Raider Reboot" is a real fashion talk variety show where Key personally examines guests' wardrobes, analyzes their tastes, and suggests styling by utilizing so-called 'closet items'—pieces that are rarely worn but too valuable to discard. The program was first released on the 21st of last month, and the third episode, scheduled to be released on the 19th, has been canceled due to Key's hiatus.
Key recently became embroiled in controversy over his association with "Injection Auntie," who is suspected of illegal medical procedures. In response, Key expressed his position through his agency and social media. He said, "I sincerely apologize for causing concern to many people due to the various stories related to me recently. I am also confused and embarrassed by the newly discovered facts, and I am sorry for not being able to quickly clarify my position and announce what I will do moving forward."
His agency, SM Entertainment, explained that Key first met "Injection Auntie" at a hospital located in Gangnam-gu upon a friend's recommendation. The agency stated, "Key has continued to receive treatment at the hospital, and when it was difficult to visit recently, he received treatment at home several times." They also added, "Key only recently became aware of the controversy regarding Ms. Lee's medical license and the fact that she is not a doctor, which has caused him great confusion. He deeply reflects on his ignorance."
The agency conveyed that Key recognizes the seriousness of the matter and has decided to withdraw from his scheduled activities and programs in which he is currently appearing. Key said, "I had confidence that I could stay away from such matters, but I think that mindset prevented me from wisely looking around. I feel very sorry and ashamed to the many people who trusted and supported me."
Regarding the decision to suspend the production of "Closet Raider Reboot," the production team explained, "After comprehensively considering the position of the cast member and the related circumstances," and expressed their gratitude to the subscribers. With Key's hiatus, he will withdraw from all programs in which he is appearing, which is expected to have a significant impact on his future activities.
This incident involving Key has once again brought attention to the controversy over illegal medical procedures in the entertainment industry, drawing the focus of fans and the public. Information regarding whether Key will resume activities in the future will be confirmed through official announcements.
