A lawyer raised points about comedian Park Na-rae, who is accused of abusive behavior and illegal medical procedures.
On the 16th, Kang Eun-ha, a lawyer who appeared on YTN radio program grants Lee Won-hwa lawyer's Case X File, discussed the conflict between Park Na-rae and her former managers, which has become a hot issue recently.
Park Na-rae's former managers on the 3rd of last month raised allegations against Park Na-rae including workplace harassment, unfair work directives, and suspected illegal medical procedures. In particular, it shocked people when it was reported that during this process Park Na-rae had sexual relations with an ex-boyfriend inside a car while the manager was driving.
Lawyer Kang Eun-ha first expressed views on the tax investigation and tax evasion allegations. At the one-person agency established by Park Na-rae, her mother was listed as the representative director and paid about 80 million won annually in salary, but since it was unclear whether actual work was performed, allegations arose of false payroll accounting, and Lawyer Kang said, "If there was no actual work, it is a serious matter that could go beyond simple tax saving to tax evasion and even embezzlement."
Regarding allegations of workplace harassment and unfair treatment, she said, "Workplace harassment as described in the Labor Standards Act is not limited to a specific office location," and she pointed out, "The key is whether it has a significant connection to work and whether the employer or a superior used that relationship."
She analyzed, "In the Park Na-rae case, legally it should be judged together whether the conduct went beyond what was necessary for work, whether a superior used their position to force an unwanted situation, and whether that caused mental suffering or deterioration of the working environment."
Lawyer Kang said, "Since a vehicle can be seen as an extension of the workplace, if a superior used their position to force an unwanted situation or caused mental suffering, workplace harassment could be established," but she emphasized that the burden of proof on the managers' side is crucial.
In particular, Lawyer Kang said, "Hasty explanations or emotional disclosures intended to sway public opinion could instead be used as unfavorable circumstantial evidence in court. It is important to refrain from emotional responses and respond with a thoroughly evidence-focused legal strategy."
