Park Na-rae Edited Down on 'Amazing Saturday' Amid Illegal Medical Practice Allegations; Key's Appearance Contrasts

Following allegations of illegal medical practices and other controversies, entertainer Park Na-rae's screen time on tvN's 'Amazing Saturday' has been significantly reduced, with her individual shots noticeably absent.

During the opening segment of the show aired on the 13th, while Park Na-rae's voice was heard, the camera did not focus on her individually. Notably, segments introducing the cast's costume concepts, where Park Na-rae, known for her active participation in makeup and costumes, usually features prominently, were completely edited out.

However, due to the nature of the program which heavily involves group quiz segments, Park Na-rae appeared in full shots alongside other members. This selective editing, minimizing her solo exposure, was apparent throughout the broadcast.

Park Na-rae recently became the center of controversy after being sued by her former managers for alleged abuse of power and infliction of special injury. The situation was further complicated by suspicions of illegal medical practices involving an individual referred to as 'Nurse Lee'. Consequently, she announced her intention to step down from her regular programs, including 'Amazing Saturday' and 'I Live Alone'.

In contrast, Key, whose name was also mentioned in connection with the same allegations, did not announce his departure. While it was reported that he missed recent recordings due to international schedules, his appearance on this episode was otherwise unchanged, creating a stark contrast to Park Na-rae's edited presence.

Another controversy surrounding Park Na-rae involves claims by former managers regarding the failure to enroll them in national health insurance. The managers alleged that while Park Na-rae, her mother, and her ex-boyfriend were insured, they were paid without contracts, with only a 3.3% tax deducted from their salaries.

Korean netizens expressed their disappointment, commenting, 'It feels empty without Na-rae's corner,' 'It's heartbreaking to see her being edited out,' and 'Key seems fine, so why is Na-rae being treated this way?', questioning the show's editing decisions.
