On December 20, Park Mison posted about a group purchase of blueberry juice health supplements, promoting the product by saying she also takes it herself. A group purchase refers to a method where multiple consumers join together to buy products as a group, thereby receiving a price discount. SNS influencers often share their daily lives and conduct group purchases to earn commissions.

However, concerns were raised because Park Mison, a popular comedian who recently revealed her battle with cancer, promoted a health supplement whose actual efficacy could not be guaranteed.
