Park Na Rae has stepped down from her variety shows.
Last week, it was revealed that two of Park Na Rae’s former managers filed criminal charges against Park Na Rae for workplace harassment, aggravated assault, proxy prescriptions, and unpaid production expenses. Park Na Rae’s agency denied all charges and filed a countersuit against the former managers. Park Na Rae further released an apology regarding the allegations and announced a temporary hiatus.
Following Park Na Rae’s announcement, variety programs starring the comedienne have released official statements regarding her leave from the shows.
On December 8, the production team of “Home Alone” (“I Live Alone”) released the following statement:
Hello, this is the production team of “Home Alone.”

In view of the seriousness of the situation and Park Na Rae’s expressed intention to suspend her activities, the production team decided to halt her appearance on “Home Alone.”
Once again, we sincerely apologize for the delay in our official response.
