[Exclusive] Park Na-rae speaks out herself..."I heavily acknowledge causing concern and exhaustion...I will entrust it to the proper procedures."

In a video shared with Ilgan Sports on the 16th, Park Na-rae said, "Hello. I am comedian Park Na-rae," and "I am heavily acknowledging the concern and exhaustion I have caused many people due to the recently raised issues." She continued, "I voluntarily stepped down from all the programs I was doing because of these issues," explaining, "I made that choice because I didn't want the production staff and colleagues to face any more confusion or burden." She added, "We are currently undergoing legal procedures as there are parts regarding the factual basis of the currently raised issues that need to be calmly confirmed," stating, "I will not make any additional public statements or explanations during that process." She then explained, "I believe this is not a matter of personal feelings or relationships, but one that needs to be objectively verified through official procedures," adding, "This choice is not meant to criticize anyone or assign blame, but rather a decision to exclude emotions and personal judgment and settle the matter through due process."

Park Na-rae stated, "Currently, countless stories are being exchanged, but I do not want someone else to get hurt or for unnecessary disputes to spread. Therefore, I plan to temporarily halt all activities and take time to focus on resolving this matter. I will reflect on my responsibilities and attitude in my position. Issues that require time will be calmly handled through the proper procedures. I thank the many people who cherished me, and to avoid causing further controversy, I will not make any related comments after this video."

Previously, Park Na-rae's former managers, Mr. A and Mr. B, filed for a provisional attachment of her real estate on the 3rd and announced a lawsuit for damages. The two claimed Park Na-rae committed various illegal acts, including special assault, workplace bullying, sexual harassment, proxy prescription, and delayed payment of personal expenses. Park Na-rae's side countered on the 5th, stating, "The former managers demanded an amount equivalent to 10% of the company's previous year's revenue in addition to receiving their severance pay," and "The demanded amount gradually increased, reaching hundreds of millions of won." Subsequently, Park Na-rae's side also filed a criminal complaint against Mr. A and Mr. B for extortion. After Park Na-rae filed the complaint, Mr. A and Mr. B also filed a criminal complaint against Park Na-rae late that night at the Gangnam Police Station for charges including special assault, defamation by spreading false information, and violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization. They also accused her of embezzlement under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes, claiming she privately used company funds. In addition to these suspicions, there were recent reports that Park Na-rae received IV injections from a person dubbed 'Injection Auntie' (Jusaimo), adding suspicion of illegal medical practices. Park Na-rae's side clarified regarding that person, "We understood they were a medical professional with a doctor's license." Amidst the back-and-forth of criminal complaints and accusations, a face-to-face meeting between the two sides took place early morning on the 8th. Afterwards, Park Na-rae stated on SNS that morning, "Misunderstandings and distrust have been resolved," but also announced, "I will suspend broadcast activities until everything is settled." However, former manager A refuted this, saying, "It is true we talked for three hours, but there was no apology or settlement."
