Aori wins 4-year legal battle against clinic after health injection gone wrong
Korean influencer and former model Aori has won a four-year lawsuit against a clinic that caused her severe health problems.
In 2021, Aori shared graphic photos showing bruises all over her body after receiving health injections. She suffered excessive blood loss after anesthesia and woke up in critical condition.
Doctors later diagnosed her with pneumothorax, likely caused by a mishandled needle. An unqualified consultant reportedly performed part of the procedure.
The clinic refused to refund her and demanded additional payments for further treatment.
Soon after her story went viral, the clinic sued Aori for defamation, demanding 1.3 billion won (~$940,000).
On May 16, the court ruled in Aori’s favor, confirming her claims were truthful.
“The court stated her claims were truthful.”
The case has sparked outrage over unethical practices in the cosmetic and wellness industry.
