Park Na-rae Police Investigation Timeline
Comedian Park Na-rae was questioned as a suspect at the Seoul Gangnam Police Station on February 20th. She was investigated on charges including aggravated assault and violation of medical law, with the questioning lasting approximately 7 hours and 40 minutes until 10:40 PM. This marks the first time she has been questioned as a suspect following her previous appearance as the complainant.
In early December last year, Park Na-rae became embroiled in a controversy over abuse of power and allegations of illegal medical procedures, leading her to decide to halt all entertainment activities. As a result, she withdrew from regular programs including MBC's "I Live Alone" and "Help! Holmes" as well as tvN's "Amazing Saturday."
Conflict with Former Managers
Park Na-rae's former managers filed for asset attachment at the Seoul Western District Court in early December last year. The former managers reportedly announced plans to file a lawsuit seeking damages of over 100 million won, citing workplace harassment, aggravated assault, proxy prescriptions, and non-payment of fees.
Park Na-rae's side also took countermeasures. She filed a counter-suit against her former managers on charges of attempted extortion and embezzlement. Both sides are currently in a situation where they have filed lawsuits against each other.
Park Na-rae's Statement After Police Appearance
After the questioning, Park Na-rae made a statement before reporters. Regarding the investigation, she said something to the effect of: "I cooperated sincerely with the investigators' questions and answered truthfully." On the abuse of power allegations, she stated: "I believe that is something that will be clarified through the investigation in the future."
Particularly noteworthy was her response to a question about whether she had thrown a drinking glass at her manager. Rather than directly answering, Park Na-rae said: "For parts that are not factual, they need to be corrected, and I plan to correct them." This response implied that some allegations are not true while avoiding specific explanations.
Questions Left Unanswered
Park Na-rae reportedly did not answer several questions from reporters. She provided no response to questions such as "Is it true you paid your mother and ex-boyfriend like company employees," "Why did you postpone your planned police appearance last week," and "Do you acknowledge the allegations of illegal drug use."
Park Na-rae also declined to disclose details about the investigation or specific questions asked by police, calling them "sensitive matters." Instead, she maintained a consistent position that "these are matters that will be clarified through the investigation."
Apology and Future Position
After the questioning, Park Na-rae bowed and apologized, saying: "I apologize once again for any inconvenience caused to you." When asked about the disputes with her former managers, she responded "I have nothing to say" and refused to provide further explanation.
Just before getting into her car, Park Na-rae said: "Please be careful. Happy New Year, though it's late," before leaving. The investigation is currently ongoing, and attention is focused on the police investigation results and the court's decision.
