URGENT UPDATE: In a shocking interview on September 23, Park Na Rae’s former manager, Mr. A, unveiled serious allegations about the comedian’s treatment of her staff during the filming of the hit show I Live Alone. He claims to have taken on extensive responsibilities, including cooking and cleaning, while also rebutting accusations of embezzlement against him.
Mr. A’s explosive revelations come amid ongoing tensions, as Park Na Rae recently filed complaints with Yongsan Police Station in Seoul against two former managers for alleged financial misconduct. He expressed deep frustration over what he describes as mistreatment, stating that staff handled preparations and cleanup while Park was seen cooking on camera to entertain guests.
“During filming, while Park was showcased cooking, it was the managers who prepped the ingredients and shopped for groceries,” Mr. A explained to Hankook Ilbo. “When guests arrived at the ‘Na Rae Bar,’ we managed the drinks and cleaned up afterward.” He highlighted the extensive behind-the-scenes work that viewers never see, positioning himself and fellow managers as unsung heroes of the production.
Adding to the drama, Mr. A admitted to receiving gifts from Park, including a luxury handbag and a watch, but insisted that the burdens of managing her events overshadowed these tokens. “On my birthday this year, after a long filming day, I had to wash dishes at her house. I didn’t even receive a present,” he lamented.
The production team of I Live Alone was reportedly aware of the challenges faced by the managers during these filming sessions. Mr. A stated, “The staff witnessed our struggles on-site and knew we were cleaning up after the scenes.”
In a twist, Mr. A vehemently denied the claims made by Park regarding financial improprieties, asserting that his corporation has been operational for over a decade. “All transactions were handled transparently. Park managed all deposits and withdrawals in her agency, receiving immediate notifications for every transaction,” he clarified.
Mr. A emphasized that their goal is not to seek monetary gain but rather to clear their names. “We sought a quiet resolution through legal channels. This isn’t about money; it’s about an apology,” he stressed.
As the situation develops, the public is left questioning the truth behind these conflicting narratives. With ongoing investigations by the police, the outcome remains uncertain.
Stay tuned for further updates on this unfolding story, as the ramifications of these allegations could significantly impact both Park Na Rae’s career and the broader entertainment industry.
