Park Na Rae Issues Apology Regarding Recent Allegations + Announces Temporary Hiatus

Comedienne Park Na Rae has released an apology for the recent controversy involving her former managers.

Last week, it was revealed that two of Park Na Rae’s former managers filed criminal charges against Park Na Rae for workplace harassment, aggravated assault, proxy prescriptions, and unpaid production expenses. Park Na Rae’s agency deniedall charges and filed a countersuit against the former managers.

On December 8, Park Na Rae posted the following statement on her Instagram account, announcing a hiatus from her broadcasting activities.

Hello, this is comedienne Park Na Rae.

In early November, two managers who had been like family to me abruptly resigned, and because I wasn’t given a chance to speak with the parties involved until recently, misunderstandings accumulated between us.

Thanks to the help of many people, I was finally able to meet face-to-face with a former manager yesterday. We were able to resolve the misunderstandings and mistrust between us, but I still believe everything is my fault and am reflecting deeply.

As a comedian whose job is to bring laughter and joy, I cannot continue to be a burden to my programs and colleagues, so I have decided to suspend my broadcasting activities until everything is clearly resolved.

I bow my head and offer my deepest apologies once again to everyone who has believed in and supported me.

Following her post, the production team of “Home Alone” (“I Live Alone”), one of the variety programs on which Park Na Rae appears, issued the following official statement:

Hello, this is the production team of “Home Alone.”

First, regarding the recent allegations concerning cast member Park Na Rae, we apologize for the delay in issuing our official statement, as we sought to assess the matter with an emphasis on fairness.

The “Home Alone” production team has not taken this matter lightly and has carefully continued internal discussions including verifying the facts.

In view of the seriousness of the situation and Park Na Rae’s expressed intention to suspend her activities, the production team decided to halt her appearance on “Home Alone.”

Once again, we sincerely apologize for the delay in our official response.

“Home Alone” will continue to do our utmost to deliver wholesome laughter with an even greater sense of responsibility.
