Park Na-rae Apologizes for Abuse Allegations and Illegal Procedures, Steps Down from All Programs

Comedian Park Na-rae has bowed her head in apology regarding allegations of workplace bullying and illegal medical procedures. She announced her voluntary withdrawal from all programs she was a part of.

In a video released on a YouTube channel on the 16th, Park Na-rae stated, "I am taking to heart the worry and fatigue I have caused many people due to the recent allegations."

She continued, "Due to these issues, I have voluntarily stepped down from all the programs I was involved in. I made that choice in the hope that it would prevent further confusion or burden to the production teams and my colleagues."

Park Na-rae also explained, "There are aspects of the current allegations that require a calm and factual confirmation, and legal proceedings are underway. I will refrain from making any additional public statements or explanations during this process. I believe this matter needs to be objectively confirmed through official procedures, rather than being an issue of personal feelings or relationships."

Furthermore, she added, "This decision is not about blaming anyone or assigning responsibility, but a judgment call to let the process resolve things objectively, excluding emotions and personal judgment. While numerous discussions are ongoing, it is not my intention for anyone else to be hurt or for this to escalate into unnecessary controversy. Therefore, I will be taking a break from all activities for a while to focus on resolving this matter."

Previously, Park Na-rae was exposed by her former managers for alleged workplace bullying, illegal medical procedures, and the so-called 'Injection Aunt' incident. The former managers had announced plans to file for provisional seizure of real estate and claim damages, citing charges such as special assault and workplace harassment.

During this period, further allegations surfaced that Park Na-rae had registered her mother and ex-boyfriend as company employees, providing them with four major insurances and salaries, intensifying the criticism against her.

As a result of this situation, Park Na-rae has withdrawn from her currently airing shows, including tvN's 'Amazing Saturday', MBC's 'I Live Alone', and 'Home Alone'.

Netizens reacted to the news of her program departures with comments such as 'This is shocking,' 'It's good to see her take responsibility for her mistakes,' and 'We hope she returns with a better image after reflecting.'
