On January 10, Lee Jin Ho uploaded a video claiming he had “exclusively obtained recordings of phone calls exchanged between Park Na Rae and Manager A around 1:40 AM on the night they met.” The call is believed to have taken place shortly before the two met in person for what later became known as the so-called “settlement meeting.”
According to reports, Park Na Rae reached out to her former manager first after allegations of mistreatment surfaced. The two later met for approximately three hours in the early morning hours of December 8, 2025.
In the leaked audio, both Park Na Rae and the manager can be heard crying as they comfort one another, giving the impression that they were reconciling. At one point, Park Na Rae gently asks, “Are you okay?” prompting the manager to break down in tears, responding, “I don’t know how things ended up like this.”
As the call continues, the conversation shifts to personal topics, including Bokdori, Park Na Rae’s dog. When the manager expresses concern over Bokdori’s missed veterinary appointment, Park Na Rae calmly explains that she contacted the vet and updated the dog’s registration under her name. The exchange appears intimate and emotional, further suggesting that tensions between the two were easing at the time.
The tone of the call changes again when the manager lashes out at an individual referred to as “Lee,” believed to be Park Na Rae’s promotional agent. The manager is heard angrily shouting profanities, while Park Na Rae attempts to calm her down through tears.
Toward the end of the recording, the manager—who admits to being drunk—reveals she is near Park Na Rae’s home in Itaewon. It is widely assumed that Park Na Rae then invited her over, leading directly to the in-person meeting later described as a settlement discussion.
Shortly after, Park Na Rae posted a statement on Instagram on December 8, saying, “ I was finally able to meet with my former managers yesterday. We cleared up misunderstandings and distrust, but I believe everything is my fault and I am deeply reflecting.” Lee Jin Ho argued that the leaked call explains why Park Na Rae believed the conflict had been resolved.
However, the situation took another turn when the former manager publicly refuted Park Na Rae’s statement, claiming there was “no sincere apology or settlement.” The manager also accused Park Na Rae of being intoxicated during the meeting—an allegation that contradicts the leaked audio, which instead suggests the manager had been drinking.
Further confusion arose after screenshots of KakaoTalk messages sent by Park Na Rae were revealed. In the messages, the comedian expressed shock and fear after receiving an aggressive settlement proposal from the manager’s lawyer, stating that she genuinely believed they had reconciled the night before.
The revelations have left netizens deeply divided and confused. Online reactions ranged from sympathy toward Park Na Rae to accusations that the situation may have been deliberately escalated.
Comments included:
- It really felt like Park Na Rae thought they had made up.
- This feels like a complete betrayal.
- The leaked audio changes everything.
- This plot twist is shocking. I don’t know who to believe anymore.
Since then, Park Na Rae has denied all allegations of mistreatment and confirmed that she is pursuing legal action to clear her name.
As the dispute continues to unfold, the leaked recording has added a dramatic and unexpected layer to a controversy that shows no signs of ending soon.
