Comedian Park Na-rae is embroiled in controversy over multiple allegations including power abuse, and she is in conflict with a former manager over embezzlement of event fees.
On the 19th, one media outlet reported that it was confirmed that 30 million won in event fees from company L, which should have been paid to Park Na-rae's agency AnPark, was transferred to the account of the corporation YYAC, of which former manager A is the representative. YYAC is a corporation established in August 2015 for the purpose of entertainment business and is a separate company from AnPark.
Park Na-rae's side said in response, "At that time we did not receive any report from A. Park Na-rae later learned the details after communicating directly with company L," the statement said.
According to the report, on July 17 last year A sent YYAC's business registration certificate and a copy of its bankbook to the L representative who requested a business registration certificate and a copy of a bankbook to prepare the contract. After that, at A's request, company L transferred 30 million won in event fees to the YYAC account.
After the report, A immediately refuted it in a media interview. A told Ilgan Sports, "Receiving the event fee into YYAC was done after already discussing it with Park Na-rae." He said that all deposits and withdrawals, transfers, contracts, advertisements and events were carried out with Park Na-rae's confirmation.
A also said that the matter was something he had already answered during a police investigation on the 20th of last month.
According to A, YYAC was created in 2015, and Park Na-rae also knows that A has a corporation. However, A did not explain why the event fee was received into the YYAC account and denied, "It is absolutely not embezzlement."
