Park Na-rae’s former manager, identified only as A, has reportedly been detained and formally indicted on charges including attempted extortion and is currently being held in a detention center.
According to reports, the Seoul Yongsan Police Station detained A on July 16 on suspicion of attempted extortion against Park Na-rae. A is currently in custody while the legal process continues.
Police allege that A demanded an amount equivalent to 10% of the company’s 2024 revenue from Park Na-rae, claiming that she had used company funds for personal expenses, including spending related to a former boyfriend. A is also accused of embezzling approximately 30 million won from the company. Another former manager facing similar allegations has reportedly been referred to prosecutors without detention.
Following news of A’s detention, comments previously made by attorney Jang Hyun-ho, who represents one of Park Na-rae’s former managers, have resurfaced online. On July 11, Jang revealed on his YouTube channel that one of Park Na-rae’s former managers had contacted his law firm seeking legal representation, and that the firm had agreed to take on the case. Jang explained that the former manager had reached out after watching one of his earlier analysis videos about Park Na-rae’s controversy, titled “In the End, the Manager Wins.” In that video, he predicted that Park Na-rae would ultimately lose the legal dispute.
At the time, Jang commented, “When legal disputes become battles of pride, the only real winners are the lawyers. The lawyers earn a lot of money, the managers might receive around 100 to 200 million won, and Park Na-rae could end up in prison or receive a suspended sentence. Watching this case, I wished everyone had made more rational and reasonable decisions. But pride can drive people to keep fighting. As a lawyer, situations like this don’t surprise me.”
However, in a more recent video, Jang adopted a more cautious tone, saying, “As many people know, both sides have presented conflicting claims, and there are aspects of the evidence that remain unclear. There is significant room for legal dispute, and the case is being fiercely contested. I intend to do my best to represent the manager who has placed their trust in me.”
Meanwhile, Park Na-rae continues to face allegations involving the mistreatment of her former managers, as well as claims linking her to alleged illegal medical procedures associated with the so-called “Injection Aunt” controversy.
