Song Ga-in's Generous Staff Welfare Sparks Discussion Amid Park Na-rae Controversy

Amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding broadcaster Park Na-rae's alleged mistreatment of her managers, trot singer Song Ga-in's exceptional staff welfare benefits are drawing renewed attention.

Having experienced hardship in her early career, Song Ga-in is known for her thoughtful care towards those around her. In a recent appearance on KBS2's 'Delivery Has Arrived,' she revealed, "When we're busy, our staff's monthly food expenses can range from 30 to 40 million KRW." She added, "It breaks my heart to see them subsisting on instant noodles or kimbap. I believe everyone should eat properly." She even mentioned that individual meal costs occasionally reached 600,000 to 700,000 KRW.

Song Ga-in's commitment to her managers' well-being has been a recurring topic on various shows. In 2023, on SBS's 'My Little Old Boy,' it was reported that she directly requested salary increases for her managers from her agency, provided personal bonuses, and even supported them with vehicles and home appliances.

These heartwarming stories of Song Ga-in's welfare practices are gaining traction in contrast to the allegations against Park Na-rae, which include verbal abuse and workplace bullying from former managers. Alongside Song Ga-in, similar gestures of care from fellow celebrities like Jang Young-ran and Jang Yoon-jeong are also being brought back into the spotlight.

Netizens are commenting, "Song Ga-in is truly admirable," "She seems to take good care of them because she went through hardships herself," and "I wish all celebrities were like Song Ga-in," adding to the warm sentiment.
