Comedian and television personality Park Na Rae has become the center of controversy after her former managers filed multiple criminal charges against her. The former managers, referred to as A and B, accused her of workplace harassment, aggravated assault, proxy prescriptions, and unpaid production-related expenses. They further alleged embezzlement under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes, claiming she used company funds for personal purposes, including expenses connected to her ex-boyfriend. They also filed a provisional seizure request for her real estate and expressed intent to pursue a civil lawsuit seeking approximately 100 million won in damages.
In response, Park Na Rae’s representatives denied the embezzlement allegations, calling the claims unfounded. Her agency A&Park stated that the two former managers had worked with her for only about one year and three months. After resigning and receiving severance pay, they allegedly continued demanding an amount equivalent to 10 percent of the previous year’s revenue, which the agency viewed as an unreasonable request.
Park Na Rae’s side also asserted that they identified approximately 25 million won in embezzled funds attributed to the two former managers and were preparing a legal response. Moreover, they filed a formal complaint with the Yongsan Police Station, accusing the managers of blackmail for allegedly demanding large sums based on false claims.
On December 6, another allegation surfaced when Dispatch reported that Park Na Rae had received illegal medical treatments, including IV drips classified as prescription drugs, from an unlicensed provider. Her agency refuted this, clarifying that she only received supplement injections administered by a licensed physician.
Regarding claims that Park Na Rae’s mother transferred 10 million won to each former manager on December 4 in an attempt to reach a settlement, the managers insisted no prior agreement had been made. Park Na Rae’s sources explained that her mother sent the money without the entertainer’s knowledge because the former managers repeatedly brought up financial issues, adding that the transfer did not indicate any settlement process.
As the situation continues to unfold, the conflicting narratives have fueled public debate. The case remains under investigation, and further developments are expected as authorities review the claims from both sides.
