Reporter] Broadcaster Park Na-rae is facing the biggest crisis since her debut as conflicts with her former managers have escalated into allegations of criminal activity and privacy revelations. The situation has turned from a simple conflict into a legal battle with specific disclosures, raising red flags for Park Na-rae's entertainment activities.
The incident began last month when Park Na-rae's former managers filed a real estate provisional seizure application at the Seoul Western District Court. They claimed workplace harassment, special injury, proxy prescription, and unpaid expenses, filing a lawsuit for damages amounting to approximately 100 million won. The court granted their provisional seizure application on the 29th of last month. A legal insider analyzed that since the court deemed the provisional seizure necessary, Park Na-rae is likely feeling significant psychological pressure.
Park Na-rae's side has counter-sued the former managers for attempted extortion and embezzlement, but since the beginning of the new year, additional revelations have put her in a difficult position. In particular, the content of the complaint filed by the former managers with the Seoul Regional Employment and Labor Agency has been reported, causing the controversy to spread. The complaint reportedly contains shocking claims that Park Na-rae engaged in inappropriate behavior with a man in the back seat of a work vehicle, threatening safety by kicking the driver's seat.
The former managers argue that they were forced to perceive unwanted scenes and sounds in the confined space of the vehicle, claiming this constitutes workplace harassment using their position as users. In response, Park Na-rae has not provided further explanations since stating her intention to objectively verify the facts through official procedures in a video she released in mid-last month.
Park Na-rae is interpreted to be maintaining silence out of concern that her statements may negatively impact her in future legal battles. However, with allegations of injury from throwing a drink and the controversy over privacy leaks, her public image has suffered significant damage that may be difficult to recover.
Currently, Park Na-rae is undergoing legal procedures, including attending police investigations as a complainant. The entertainment industry and the public are focused on whether she can refute the claims of her former managers and restore her tarnished reputation through a fierce courtroom battle.
