Comedian Park Na-rae (41) has postponed her scheduled police questioning.
Seoul’s Gangnam Police Station said it planned to summon Park on the afternoon of the 12th as a suspect for questioning over allegations including aggravated injury and violating the Medical Service Act, but the session has been postponed.
Park’s side requested a delay, citing concerns that her appearance time had been made public and could draw large crowds, as well as her recent poor health. Police accepted the request and will reschedule.
The questioning is tied to cross-complaints between Park and her former managers. Former managers A and B filed a complaint in December last year, alleging workplace bullying, aggravated injury, proxy prescriptions, and unpaid expenses, accusing Park of defamation and violations of the Information and Communications Network Act. Park’s camp countersued, saying the pair demanded money based on false claims, accusing them of attempted extortion and occupational embezzlement.
Police have reportedly finished questioning the so-called “injection aunt,” Ms. Lee―who is suspected of performing illegal medical procedures on Park―as well as the former managers.
Meanwhile, former manager A, who has been in conflict with Park, recently returned to Korea and was questioned over two days. A was questioned on the 9th at Yongsan Police Station as a suspect, and on the 10th at Gangnam Police Station as a complainant. A is a U.S. permanent resident and left the country late last year, which sparked “fleeing overseas” rumors. He denied the rumors by returning and cooperating with the investigation.
