○ [Newstory] The Diet Shot Craze: What is the Hidden Truth Behind the 'Miracle Drug'? (Broadcasted on July 11, 2026)
On social media, along with success stories of obesity treatments, posts complaining about side effects can easily be found. Lee Su-jin (pseudonym), an office worker in her 20s, rushed to the hospital with severe abdominal pain after taking an obesity treatment for about three months and was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Her inflammation levels had soared to nearly ten times that of a normal person, and part of her pancreas had even become necrotic. For Su-jin, who previously had no health issues, the medical staff's warning that diabetes could develop as an aftereffect was sheer terror.
