Broadcaster Park Na-rae was recently robbed of valuables at her home, drawing a line against speculation of internal involvement. As a suspect has been identified, the video circulating on YouTube claiming "Jang Doyoun is the culprit" has also been proven to be a lie. Although she was cleared of the charges, Park Na-rae was hurt twice by the absurd rumors.
On the 14th, Park Na-rae's side stated, "We would like to inform you of the current situation regarding the theft incident that occurred at Park Na-rae's home recently. We have determined that the incident was theft by an outsider and requested an investigation by providing CCTV footage from her home to the police on the 8th."
They continued, "Subsequently, after the police identified the suspect's identity, he was arrested, and it is believed that an arrest warrant has already been issued. We are grateful that the suspect was apprehended thanks to the swift investigation of the authorities and appreciate their efforts."
In particular, Park Na-rae's side stated, "While some have raised the possibility of internal involvement, we clearly affirm that this is not the case. We kindly ask that you refrain from reports based on unverified information."
They also stated, "Moreover, groundless false information is being indiscriminately spread through online communities and social media. We emphasize that we will take firm legal action without any leniency against such false information."
Earlier, on the 8th, it was reported that Park Na-rae was the victim of a theft of valuables at her home, and a representative for Park Na-rae told OSEN, "The recent theft occurred, and we confirmed it on the 7th." According to the representative, valuables worth tens of millions of won were stolen.
Subsequently, reports emerged that the police were investigating the case as "internal involvement." Although the theft occurred at Park Na-rae's home, there was no external intrusion. This raised the possibility that the crime was committed by someone who had facial recognition access to her home.
In this regard, Park Na-rae's side expressed, "Since this is an investigation matter, it is difficult to confirm, and we are cautious about making an official statement," requesting understanding. Some speculated based on this information that Jang Doyoun, who is close to Park Na-rae, was the culprit. When searching for "Park Na-rae Jang Doyoun" on YouTube, numerous videos with similar content were also uploaded.
However, after the suspect was apprehended, Park Na-rae's side clarified that it was not internal involvement, leading to the conclusion that all those speculations were fake news. The unreasonable fake news and rumors have caused Park Na-rae and Jang Doyoun to cry twice.
In addition, Park Na-rae and Jang Doyoun expressed displeasure over rumors of discord between them at the end of last year, making the current fake news even more regrettable. When Jang Doyoun appeared on "Narae's Show," Park Na-rae mentioned the rumors of discord by saying, "At some point, someone asked if Doyoun was only friendly with me for the show."
In response, Jang Doyoun remarked, "Just tell them to quit. I'm tired. Why are they causing trouble? We're just having fun together," while Park Na-rae stated, "But the important thing is, when I met Doyoun, it was the most fun," thus ending the rumors of discord.
Meanwhile, the suspect accused of stealing valuables worth tens of millions of won from Park Na-rae's home is currently under investigation following his arrest. The police are examining the circumstances of the crime and whether there were any accomplices, considering that the suspect has multiple prior theft convictions.
