The former manager who raised allegations of power abuse against comedian Park Na-rae has said he is willing to release a recording of their predawn confrontation, further intensifying the controversy.
The former manager A said he recently revealed additional allegations one after another to several media outlets, including that he was verbally abused and suffered special assault by Park Na-rae, and that she abused production staff. On the 11th, Hankyung.com reported that A said about the background to the additional disclosures, "We only respond by disclosing new information when Park Na-rae's side issues a rebuttal."
A emphasized, "What Park Na-rae claims is not true. If positions that differ from the facts continue to be repeated, it is possible to file additional charges such as false accusation."
In particular, regarding the statement Park Na-rae recently posted on social media saying, "I resolved misunderstandings with my former managers," A strongly rebutted it. He said, "Park Na-rae called me at dawn and met me, and she described that meeting as 'clearing up misunderstandings,' but it was not at all the attitude of someone apologizing," and he claimed, "Although the timing is not yet decided, the recording that captures the situation at the time could be made public someday."
He added, "I have not yet received notice of a police investigation, but I plan to schedule and undergo the investigation as quickly as possible."
This situation rapidly escalated after allegations that Park Na-rae verbally abused and inflicted special injury on her former managers, followed by accusations of illegal medical procedures involving a person nicknamed 'drunkard aunt,' and questions about operating a one-person agency without registration. Park Na-rae's side has denied all allegations as "not true" and countersued A and others on charges of attempted extortion.
In the process, Park Na-rae recently met directly with her former managers and said, "the misunderstandings were resolved," and yet she expressed remorse and declared she would suspend all broadcasting activities. However, the former managers rebutted that "there was no apology, let alone clearing up misunderstandings," and mentioned the possibility of releasing new recordings, bringing the two sides into a direct clash again.
Currently, Park Na-rae's lawsuit and complaints by the former managers are proceeding simultaneously, and the case has escalated into a legal dispute. The police plan to verify the facts regarding multiple allegations, including reports of verbal abuse, injury, and illegal medical practices.
