Comedian Park Na-rae was embroiled in allegations of 'power harassment' by former managers, and as the flagship variety shows on which she is a regular cast member watched the situation closely, she appeared on I Live Alone without a letter.
On the 4th, MBC's I Live Alone told OSEN, "The production team is aware of news related to a grants. However, no separate position has been decided yet," and added, "We are first waiting for Park Na-rae's official response." As a core member of the variety show, the production team also appeared to maintain a cautious stance without taking hasty action.
On the same day, tvN's Amazing Saturday also said, "We currently have nothing official to say," withholding comment and taking a cautious stance. Since the controversy is still in the fact-checking stage, the production teams are generally inclined to first wait for Park Na-rae's explanation.
On the very day the controversy broke, Park Na-rae appeared on MBC's Save Me! Homes exactly as filmed without edits, drawing attention. The broadcast had already been completed, and since Park Na-rae's side said, "We are currently confirming the facts and discussing an official position with legal counsel," the production team appears to have chosen to monitor developments rather than rush to edit.
Also today, the 5th, MBC's I Live Alone broadcast Park Na-rae's segments without deletion, attracting viewers' attention. The fact that both flagship programs maintained an unedited approach is read as evidence that the production teams are deferring judgment at this stage.
Meanwhile, on the same day, Park Na-rae's agency, Anpark Co., Ltd., bowed its head, saying, "We are confirming the exact facts regarding some media reports based on claims by Park Na-rae's former managers, and we deeply apologize for causing confusion and concern by the delay in announcing our position."
In particular, Park Na-rae's side said, "Our company and Park Na-rae recognize areas of operational shortcomings and have no intention of evading responsibility for any wrongdoing. However, faced with continued unnecessary misunderstandings and pressure from claims that differ from the facts, we judged that we could no longer be dragged by unilateral demands. Accordingly, after legal review, we have decided to take necessary legal measures."
