Allegations of illegal procedures through "injection aunt" and others involving Park Na-rae have been transferred from the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office to the police.
On the 16th, according to a Yonhap News report, the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office Food and Drug Crime Investigation Division was assigned the case on the 12th in which former Korean Medical Association Organization president Im Hyun-taek accused Park Na-rae and A, known as the "injection aunt," of violating the Medical Service Act and the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act and other charges.
Former Korean Medical Association Organization (KMA) president Im Hyun-taek said on social media that he filed a criminal complaint with the prosecution accusing A of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes, the Medical Service Act and the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, and he said the prosecution should immediately begin an investigation and detain A because A should have her passport suspended, be barred from leaving the country and is suspected of attempting to destroy evidence on charges of fraud under the Criminal Act.
He added that A's husband, Park Na-rae's manager and Park Na-rae should also be strictly investigated and punished according to the law for whether they are co-principal offenders, accomplices or instigators, and he argued that the scope of the investigation should be expanded to include entertainers who committed such illegal acts.
The prosecution said the complaint included charges for which the prosecution does not have direct investigative authority and that the Park Na-rae–related investigation was ongoing with the police, so the case was reportedly transferred to the police.
Earlier, Park Na-rae's former managers filed for a real estate provisional seizure worth 100 million won at the Seoul Western District Court, and they claimed that while working at Park Na-rae's one-person agency they suffered what they called "gapjil" abuses, including verbal abuse, special injury, proxy prescriptions, unpaid production fees and being on constant standby for personal errands.
In addition, it emerged that Park Na-rae had been accused of being indicted for violations of the Medical Service Act for receiving proxy prescriptions and psychotropic drugs from the so-called "injection aunt," and of violating the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act for operating an unregistered one-person agency, which caused shock.
In response, Park Na-rae reportedly filed a complaint with Yongsan Police Station in Seoul accusing her former managers of attempted extortion. In a statement, Park Na-rae's side said the former managers, who worked for one year and three months, demanded an excessive additional amount equal to 10% of the company's previous year's sales after receiving severance pay. They also claimed that regarding allegations of receiving illegal medical treatment, the medical professional "injection aunt" had provided a house call.
However, allegations about Park Na-rae's "gapjil" behavior and the "injection aunt" remain unresolved. Ultimately, Park Na-rae decided to suspend all activities. She subsequently left MBC's I Live Alone, Save Me Homes and tvN's Amazing Saturday, and web variety show Narae-sik and the new variety show I Am Excited were canceled entirely.
At a regular press briefing on the morning of the 15th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency chief said, "There are five cases filed against Park Na-rae, and Park Na-rae filed one complaint," adding, "Investigations of complainants and accusers are not progressing. We will conduct a strict investigation according to subsequent procedures."
