The controversy surrounding Park Na Rae has reached a critical point, with allegations expanding beyond workplace conflict to include extensive personal errands and proxy medical prescriptions. The essence of the issue does not lie in a manager’s tears, nor in a manager’s change of position. Rather, it stems from a series of actions initiated by Park Na Rae herself.
Claims surrounding a so called “injection aunt” were not the result of a manager’s introduction, and allegations of physical harm involving a thrown wine glass do not point to the manager as the responsible party. At the center of the controversy is a fundamental question: whether a manager’s professional role can reasonably extend to fulfilling private and personal errands.
The Chanel Bag Airport Return Incident
On November 4, 2023, Park Na Rae and Manager A arrived at Incheon International Airport to film the Taiwan episode of 'I Live Alone.' Both had already completed immigration procedures and were scheduled to board flight KE185, departing at 9 a.m.
At that point, Park Na Rae made a request to Manager A. “Could you go get my Chanel bag from my Itaewon home?” Park Na Rae said. At the time, Park Na Rae was already carrying a Gucci bag. Nevertheless, she requested the additional Chanel bag. “Yes, she said she wanted to bring the Chanel bag as well,” Manager A later stated.
To comply, Manager A exited the departure area through a departure cancellation procedure, which nullifies completed immigration clearance. “I told airline staff that I had forgotten my medication. I then passed back through immigration, the Ministry of Justice, and customs in reverse order to leave the departure area,” Manager A said. Dispatch obtained KakaoTalk messages exchanged between Park Na Rae and Manager A during this process.
Park Na Rae asked how the situation was progressing. Manager A responded that the earliest available replacement flight departed at 5:10 p.m., arriving in Taipei at 7:10 p.m. Park Na Rae asked where the bag had been located. “Where was it? On the dining table?” she asked.
Manager A replied that it was in front of the master bedroom bathroom. “In the bathroom? This makes no sense,” Park Na Rae responded. Despite the delay, Manager A continued coordinating logistics while Park Na Rae had already arrived in Taiwan and was waiting at immigration.
Additional Requests During Transit
During the same exchange, Park Na Rae made another request, asking whether a specific pair of shoes was available at the Hermes duty free shop. Manager A checked and replied that the size was unavailable and would require a special order. Due to the short two night, three day itinerary, the purchase was deemed impractical.
Throughout the conversation, Park Na Rae told the manager to rest, receive a massage, and not rush. Manager A prepared a portable fan in Park Na Rae’s carry on luggage due to the heat and continued providing updates until arriving in Taiwan later that evening.
Park Na Rae traveled to Taiwan solely for filming purposes. The Chanel bag was not a broadcast prop, raising questions over whether retrieving it constituted work related duties or a private errand. Manager B later stated that errands of this nature could be tolerated. However, they emphasized that another issue crossed an irreversible line.
OB GYN Proxy Prescription Allegations
Manager B presented a medical document dated in an unspecified year. It was an obstetrics and gynecology prescription. “She told me to pick up medication she had to take before filming,” Manager B said. Messages exchanged between Managers A and B captured the circumstances. “She asked me to buy medication from an OB GYN clinic,” Manager A wrote. “It had to be taken before recording.”
Manager B responded by questioning whether they themselves needed to receive treatment, expressing anger over the impact on their medical records. Manager A replied that Park Na Rae requested the visit be conducted without leaving a medical record and apologized for not going personally. “This is Park Na Rae’s fault. Why are you apologizing?” Manager B replied, adding that Park Na Rae should treat them properly.
On another occasion, Manager A personally visited an OB GYN clinic on Park Na Rae’s behalf. In a separate exchange, Park Na Rae asked for another favor. “A, I have a request,” she said. Manager A mentioned completing a health check and injections for a pet earlier that day. Following a phone call, Park Na Rae transferred 300,000 KRW (about 203 USD) and asked whether the medication had been secured.“Yes. I received treatment and am now picking up the medication,” Manager A replied. Both managers stated that they visited OB GYN clinics simply because they were women.
“Was it a proxy prescription? I was only thinking about protecting my celebrity,” Manager A said. “I am unmarried. If a future spouse were to see my medical records,” Manager B said, leaving the sentence unfinished. Both Park Na Rae and the managers could potentially face legal consequences under medical law. The managers stated they were prepared to accept any resulting penalties.
Despite this, they chose to speak publicly. “There are things only those directly involved can know. Just because someone cried on the phone does not mean outsiders understand everything,” Manager A said. “People ask how we could do this when she treated us well. But what about what we were never allowed to refuse? Have you ever done these kinds of errands?” Manager B added.
Scope of Personal Errands
According to the managers, the errands extended far beyond isolated incidents. They booked health checkups for Park Na Rae’s younger brother and arranged cosmetic surgery consultations for a friend of her mother, including nose and eyelid procedures. They purchased seafood for drinking gatherings with her boyfriend and bought alcohol by brand and quantity upon request.
Park Na Rae frequently expressed apology and gratitude, repeatedly saying “sorry” and “thank you.” However, the managers argued that these words did not negate the cumulative burden.
Corporate Card Dispute
Park Na Rae’s side has since disputed the managers’ claims, with some media outlets alleging excessive use of corporate credit cards.
One YouTube channel claimed that Manager A incurred 77 million KRW (about 52,256 USD) in corporate card expenses over the course of one year. Dispatch reviewed the actual records. From October 2024 to September 2025, Manager A spent a total of 48.57 million KRW (32,962 USD), primarily on fuel, parking, proxy driving services, snacks, and production-related expenses.
One transaction stood out. On January 16, 2025, a payment of 3.6 million KRW (about 2,443 USD) was made to a plastic surgery clinic under the category of actor beauty expenses. Dispatch compared the payment with KakaoTalk messages and confirmed that the procedure recipient was Park Na Rae’s mother.
Messages showed that Manager A accompanied her mother to the clinic and collected medication afterward. The discounted total amounted to 3.6 million KRW (about 2,443 USD). Manager B used 67.05 million KRW (about 45,503 USD) during the same period, largely for staff dinners and minor expenses. These included program-related dinners, celebratory gifts, comedy show staff meals, and Park Na Rae’s airfare.
Dispatch confirmed that all corporate card transactions were immediately shared with Park Na Rae, who questioned unfamiliar charges in real time. Manager A has since filed a legal complaint alleging false accusations of embezzlement. Police are expected to investigate all corporate cards owned by n.Park, including expenses related to family members.
No Reversal of the Core Issue
Claims circulating in a few media, including allegations regarding falsified career history, insurance disputes, commission demands, settlement requests, or excessive spending, do not alter the core issue. If there were a genuine reversal, the managers argue, it would involve entirely different facts. Attacking the individuals who raised concerns does not obscure the substance of the controversy.
The managers concluded by stating that without genuine dedication to the artist, they could not have endured such working conditions for the compensation provided. “There were no proper days off. The work included endless errands, household tasks, and even cleaning,” Manager A said.
Manager A also released KakaoTalk records confirming prior employment at JDB Entertainment in response to challenges regarding her credentials. They emphasized that questioning the messenger does not change what occurred.
