Park Na-rae said, "I take the concerns and fatigue caused to many people by the recent issues very seriously," and added, "I have voluntarily stepped down from all programs I was involved in due to these issues." She explained that it was a choice made to avoid causing further confusion or burden to the production team and her colleagues.

She continued, "There are aspects of the issues raised that need to be calmly verified, so I am currently undergoing legal procedures," and stated, "I will refrain from making additional public statements or explanations during this process." Park Na-rae concluded that she believes, "This is a matter that should be objectively confirmed through official procedures, not a personal or relational issue."

Park Na-rae emphasized, "This choice is not to blame or hold anyone accountable," stating, "It is a decision made to exclude emotions and personal judgments and to leave it to the procedures for resolution." She expressed, "While many stories are circulating, I do not wish for anyone else to be hurt or for unnecessary disputes to arise."

⬦ 'Injection Aunt' vs 'Large Sum Demands'… The Truth Game Intensifies

Park Na-rae, who debuted as a comedian in KBS's 21st public recruitment in 2006, has gained public popularity through programs such as 〈Living Alone〉 and 〈Save Me, Holmes〉. However, the controversy began on the 4th when former managers claimed to have been victims of abuse and made revelations.

The controversy expanded further with additional allegations that Park Na-rae received illegal medical services, including IV injections, from a person referred to as 'Injection Aunt' and received prescriptions through proxy. The day after the revelations, on the 5th, Park Na-rae distributed a statement through her agency claiming that "the managers demanded a large sum of money," and declared her suspension from broadcasting activities on the 8th via SNS.

At that time, Park Na-rae stated, "I met with the managers to clear up misunderstandings," but the managers refuted that there was no attempt at agreement during the meeting. They continued to make new claims, stating that there is one more person involved in the illegal medical practices, complicating the situation further.
