BREAKING: In an explosive interview on October 23, 2023, Mr. A, the former manager of comedian Park Na Rae, has made shocking revelations regarding his treatment while working on the popular show I Live Alone. This developing story sheds light on allegations of workplace misconduct, embezzlement claims, and the behind-the-scenes struggles of production staff.
During the interview with Hankook Ilbo, Mr. A detailed how he took on the responsibilities of cooking and cleaning during filming, tasks that went unnoticed by the audience. He claimed that while Park was seen entertaining guests at her home, dubbed “Na Rae Bar,” it was the managers who prepared ingredients, shopped for groceries, and cleaned up after gatherings.
Mr. A categorically denied Park Na Rae’s allegations of embezzlement, asserting, “These are all false accusations. I have told the investigators everything during questioning.” He emphasized that all financial transactions related to Park’s agency were strictly monitored and handled by Park herself, with every payment generating immediate notifications to her.
The former manager’s claims come in the wake of reported complaints filed by Park with the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul against two former managers for alleged embezzlement. He stated, “My corporation has been around for more than 10 years. Because of taxes, Park sent payments to my corporation rather than to me personally.” This raises questions about the financial dealings between them.
Mr. A lamented the lack of recognition for the managers’ efforts, revealing, “On my birthday this year, after Park’s schedule, I went to the hospital and then had to wash dishes at Park’s house.” He further noted that while he did receive gifts over the years, including a luxury handbag and watch, the pressure of managing Park’s public persona took a toll on his personal life.
The production team of I Live Alone was reportedly aware of the managers’ challenges during the filming of Park’s cooking scenes, which Mr. A claimed involved substantial behind-the-scenes work. “All deposits, withdrawals, and transfers at Park’s agency are handled solely by Park,” he reiterated, underscoring the complexity of their working relationship.
Mr. A expressed a desire for resolution, stating, “We wanted to handle this through legal proceedings quietly from the start. We never played media games first.” He urged for an apology, countering the narrative that they were pursuing financial gain, stating, “The idea that we’re doing this for money is entirely false.”
As this situation continues to unfold, the implications for both Park Na Rae and her former management team are significant. With public interest piqued, this story is likely to develop further, and more details may emerge in the coming days.
Stay tuned for updates on this urgent and evolving situation.
