MBC canceled filming for a new variety show that had comedian Park Na-rae front and center. It is seen as influenced by recent allegations that Park mistreated her managers.
According to the entertainment industry on the 5th, the production team for MBC's new variety show "Nado Shinna" notified Park Na-rae and other cast members on the afternoon of the 4th that the filming scheduled for that day was canceled.
The program was planned as a variety travel show featuring Park Na-rae with her friend Jang Doyoun, as well as Shin Giru and Heo Anna. It had been slated to air in January next year.
The analysis is that Park Na-rae being hit with a provisional seizure application on real estate worth 1 billion won by former managers led to the filming cancellation.
According to Dispatch and the entertainment industry, Park Na-rae's former managers on the 4th filed for a provisional seizure on real estate owned by Park at the Seoul Western District Court.
Park Na-rae's former managers also were said to be preparing a damages lawsuit, claiming that Park hurled verbal abuse because they do not drink alcohol, had them run errands for proxy prescriptions, and left expense settlements unresolved.
However, on MBC's "Save Me, Homes," which aired on the 4th, Park Na-rae appeared without edits. Another variety show featuring Park, "Amazing Saturday," is also said to have no changes such as edits so far.
Meanwhile, Park Na-rae has not issued a separate explanation regarding the alleged mistreatment by former managers. It is understood that she is discussing a response with a law firm.
