A segment featuring comedian Park Na-rae, who has been embroiled in various controversies including power abuse allegations and illegal medical procedures, was still remaining.
On the 17th, tvN's Amazing Saturday released a promotional video titled 'Amazing Saturday' geumeunbang has four people of gold and silver treasures! Typhoon Family Kim Min-seok X Lee Sang-jin Bon Appétit, Your Majesty Lee Joo-an X Yoon Seo-ah.
The released preview contained the content of episode 397, which will air on the 20th. Actors Kim Min-seok and Lee Sang-jin, who appeared in Typhoon Family, and actors Lee Joo-an and Yoon Seo-ah, who appeared in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, appear, showing themselves taking dictation while working with the Amazing Saturday members.
Footage also captured Park Na-rae, who has withdrawn from all broadcasts she had been appearing in amid various controversies and halted activities. Dressed in a 'geumeunbang' concept, Park Na-rae showed a striking presence true to being a 'makeup master.' Although there was no one-shot of her in the preview, she appears in the wide shot and is expected to meet viewers again this weekend. However, considering viewers' reactions and public opinion, it seems unlikely that individual close-ups of Park Na-rae will be shown.
Currently, two major allegations against Park Na-rae are power abuse toward managers and illegal medical practices. Former managers who left alleged that they were forced by Park Na-rae to run personal errands and to procure psychotropic drugs by proxy, and they also raised financial settlement issues such as unpaid rehearsal fees. There are also allegations that a nonmedical person administered cosmetic injections at her home.
On the 16th, Park Na-rae issued a "final statement." Standing before the cameras, Park Na-rae said, "There are aspects of the facts alleged at present that need to be calmly verified, and we are proceeding with legal procedures. In that process, I will refrain from making additional public remarks or explanations. I believe this matter should be objectively verified through official procedures rather than being a matter of personal feelings or relationships," adding, "This choice is not to blame someone or seek responsibility but to set aside emotions and personal judgments and leave it to procedure to sort out. Many stories are circulating now, but I do not want another person to be hurt or for this to spiral into unnecessary disputes."
