Broadcaster Park Na-rae's behind-the-scenes conflict over re-signing with her former agency JDB Entertainment was revealed belatedly.
According to OSEN reporting on the 15th, Park Na-rae showed differences of opinion over the signing bonus and future activity direction during discussions about re-signing with JDB Entertainment last year. In particular, both sides reportedly had a larger disagreement over the direction of activities than over financial terms.
JDB Entertainment told OSEN, "The difference was greater in work-related matters than in money," and said, "Park Na-rae initially requested a high signing bonus, but the matter was later sufficiently negotiated."
During this process, former managers also alleged that Park Na-rae and JDB Entertainment CEO a person surnamed Park argued while having a private conversation. Ultimately, unable to narrow the differences over the direction of activities, Park Na-rae chose to part ways with JDB Entertainment, where she had spent about nine years.
The re-signing issue resurfaced recently amid a battle of revelations between Park Na-rae and her former managers. Former manager A said while explaining allegations of inflating his career that at the time Park Na-rae and JDB Entertainment tried to keep him from leaving.
In particular, A said, "Park Na-rae requested a recording to secure a weakness of JDB Entertainment CEO a person surnamed Park, and sent that recording to Park Na-rae and Park Na-rae's boyfriend," adding, "It is still being kept," causing a stir.
Meanwhile, Park Na-rae's former managers filed a damage claim lawsuit seeking about 100 million won against Park Na-rae, alleging workplace harassment, special injury, proxy prescription, and unpaid production fees while they were employed. In response, Park Na-rae has filed criminal complaints against the former managers for attempted extortion and occupational embezzlement and is pursuing legal action.
