Park Na-rae sent to prosecutors over manager abuse, assault allegations

Broadcaster Park Na-rae has been forwarded to prosecutors on charges of alleged abuse of power and assault against former managers, approximately seven months after the initial complaint was filed. The Seoul Gangnam Police Station transferred Park on charges including special assault and violation of the Information and Communications Network Act.

Park's former managers lodged a complaint last December, accusing her of special injury, defamation by false facts, and violating the Information and Communications Network Act. One former manager, identified as A, submitted a medical diagnosis certificate for a two-week recovery period, claiming Park verbally abused him for not drinking alcohol and caused a facial bruise and a hand injury requiring four stitches by throwing a wine glass.

Park's representatives have refuted these claims. They stated that while a wine glass was indeed thrown, it was directed at the floor and not at any specific individual. Furthermore, they asserted that the injury claim made by A is untrue. The police are continuing their investigation into allegations that Park received illegal medical treatment through a third party, known as 'Jusa Imo' (a term referring to unlicensed individuals providing medical services).

The case has garnered significant public attention, with the outcome of the prosecution's review pending. The ongoing investigation into the medical treatment allegations adds another layer to the complex situation surrounding the popular entertainer.
