Comedian Park Na-rae is suffering endless backlash over the "injection aunt" controversy. Even recently married actor Lee Jang-woo still remained on the cast list of I Live Alone, but Park Na-rae was removed.
On the 14th, according to a portal site, the cast list for the MBC variety show I Live Alone (abbreviated I Live Alone) appeared as Jun Hyun-moo, Kian84, SHINee Key, Code Kunst, Lee Jang-woo, Lee Joo-seung, Kim Dae-ho, and Kim Kwang-kyu. Park Na-rae, who had left the show, had disappeared.
Notably, even Lee Jang-woo, who recently married, still remained on the I Live Alone cast list. As the title I Live Alone suggests, the program shows the single lives of people living alone, so they naturally leave the program upon marriage.
In addition, actors Kim Kwang-kyu and Lee Joo-seung, who have appeared intermittently on recent I Live Alone episodes, still had their names listed. The fact that only Park Na-rae was quickly removed drew more attention.
Park Na-rae is currently engulfed in various allegations following revelations by former managers. The former managers claimed they were subjected to abusive language, assault, being on constant standby and personal errands, alleging "power harassment." They also accused Park Na-rae of receiving illegal medical procedures from people nicknamed "injection aunt" and "IV drip aunt," and of operating a one-person agency without registration.
Park Na-rae's side countersued, saying the former managers, after leaving without issue and receiving proper severance pay, demanded an additional 10% of revenue and, when refused, continued to make untrue claims. Later, Park Na-rae met with the former managers to clear up misunderstandings and announced she would halt her broadcasting activities, acknowledging responsibility.
Despite this, claims proliferated that while meetings between Park Na-rae and the former managers did occur, Park Na-rae had contacted them unilaterally while intoxicated and that any agreement had collapsed. Subsequently, allegations of illegal medical procedures related to Park Na-rae's "injection aunt" intensified, and the controversy has not subsided.<
