Travel creator GwakTube has recently drawn attention again as the episode where he was rejected by comedian Park Narae for an invitation to the 'Narae Bar' coincides with various controversies surrounding Park Narae.
In the MBN entertainment program 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan' aired in May last year, GwakTube expressed his desire to be invited to the Narae Bar, known as a celebrity hotspot. In response, Jeon Hyun-moo connected a call to Park Narae on the spot to facilitate a conversation. At that time, Jeon Hyun-moo heightened Park Narae's expectations by saying the other party was a younger man with idol qualities, but upon hearing GwakTube's voice, Park Narae immediately showed disappointment, eliciting laughter.
GwakTube actively sent love calls, saying he would rush over anytime if invited to the Narae Bar, but Park Narae firmly rejected him, making excuses like not drinking alcohol and that alcohol is harmful, showing an ironclad attitude. This scene, which was consumed for its entertainment value at the time, has resurfaced among netizens as it overlaps with Park Narae's recent hiatus from activities.
Currently, Park Narae is going through a tough time, embroiled in various allegations, including legal battles with former managers. On the 3rd, former managers filed a lawsuit for damages against Park Narae, claiming workplace harassment and unpaid expenses, along with a request for real estate seizure. Following this, allegations of unlicensed medical practices, known as the 'Injection Aunt' procedure, and proxy prescriptions for antidepressants have emerged, causing the controversy to escalate uncontrollably.
In response, Park Narae's side clarified that there were no illegal medical practices and that she received IV drips from a licensed medical professional. However, as the controversy continued, Park Narae announced on the 8th that she would suspend all broadcasting activities until all matters were resolved, stating that she could not cause inconvenience to her colleagues and programs.
Subsequently, Park Narae expressed through an additional statement that she does not wish for unnecessary disputes to arise and will take time to calmly engage in legal procedures to resolve the issues. After conveying her intention to reflect on her responsibilities and attitude, Park Narae has currently stepped down from all broadcasts and is refraining from external contact.
The reason the Narae Bar episode with GwakTube, which once brought delightful laughter, is gaining attention from viewers again is interpreted as a contrast between the glamorous peak of Park Narae and her current difficult situation.
