Park Na-rae's Former Manager Claims 'Meeting Was a Lie,' Reveals More Controversial Details

A former manager, identified as 'A,' of South Korean comedian Park Na-rae has escalated their public dispute, making further allegations against the celebrity.

The controversy was highlighted on JTBC's 'Event Master' broadcast on the 10th, where A presented their account. This follows Park Na-rae's recent social media post stating that she had resolved misunderstandings with her former managers.

A, however, directly refuted Park Na-rae's claims. According to A, Park Na-rae contacted them in the early morning hours of March 7th to 8th, expressing a desire to meet and reconcile. A claims to have visited Park Na-rae's residence in Itaewon around 3 AM, where they met with Park Na-rae, her current manager, and an acquaintance, engaging in a three-hour conversation.

A alleges that during this meeting, Park Na-rae, who had been drinking, offered no apologies or resolutions as discussed. Instead, A claims Park Na-rae suggested returning to their previous working relationship and even proposed going to a karaoke bar.

Upon waking and seeing Park Na-rae's SNS statement, A expressed disbelief. A then sent a settlement agreement through their lawyer, demanding an apology for the alleged falsehoods. Park Na-rae responded by stating she was scared and suffering from panic disorder and agoraphobia. When Park Na-rae continued to appeal emotionally, A decided to end the conversation, suggesting they resolve the matter through legal evidence.

Further revelations from A include the reason for their departure. A recounted an incident where Park Na-rae demanded a prop for a new variety show shoot shortly before filming. When the prop couldn't be found immediately, A claims Park Na-rae verbally abused them, saying, "If you're going to do such a bad job, why are you even working?" Staff members eventually found the item. A stated that witnessing such behavior, especially towards people they hadn't known long, led them to decide to resign.

Regarding medical procedures, A explained that they photographed medications used by an individual referred to as 'Injection Auntie' because they were shocked to see this person administering injections to a sleeping Park Na-rae, who was receiving an IV drip. A insisted the intention was not to use the photos for blackmail but as a precaution for potential emergencies.

A also claimed that Park Na-rae had expressed doubts about whether 'Injection Auntie' was a qualified doctor. Despite this, Park Na-rae allegedly continued receiving treatments, stating her condition improved. When managers withheld the administered medication out of concern, A alleges Park Na-rae reacted aggressively, questioning their work ethic and threatening them.

Concerning allegations of company funds being paid to a former boyfriend, A, who also handled accounting, confirmed that Park Na-rae paid the ex-boyfriend 4 million won monthly, despite him not working for the company. A expressed bitterness over this discrepancy.

Legal expert Park Ji-hoon commented that the case involves potential violations of medical and labor laws concerning the 'Injection Auntie' and that the mutual lawsuits make a swift resolution unlikely.

In response, Park Na-rae's agency has strongly denied A's claims, filing a counterclaim for extortion. They described the allegations about the former boyfriend's salary as "exaggerated false information" and stated they are preparing a further statement.

Korean netizens are expressing mixed reactions, with some siding with the former manager's detailed accounts and others reserving judgment until the legal proceedings are complete. Comments like "I hope the truth comes out quickly" and "It's hard to judge based on one side's claims" are frequently seen.
