Comedian Park Na Rae continues to face suspicions regarding the identity of her ex-boyfriend amid ongoing controversy.
The conflict between Park Na Rae and her former managers has escalated through repeated revelations, leaks, and rebuttals, turning increasingly intense. Amid this mudslinging battle between the two sides, another figure is drawing attention: Park Na Rae’s ex-boyfriend.
Through media interviews with Park Na Rae and rebuttal statements from the ex-managers, Park Na Rae’s ex-boyfriend appears to be more than just a peripheral figure; he is seen as a key trigger in allegations of embezzlement and company mismanagement.
Park Na Rae described her ex-boyfriend as someone “who majored in business administration and studied accounting,” “who handled practical tasks such as bookkeeping and contract review instead of just tax duties,” and “more deeply involved in company affairs than I was, with enough ability to be officially employed and paid a salary.” In contrast, the former manager portrayed him as “a non-expert who only attended one semester of university before dropping out,” implying he lacked professional expertise in management or accounting and was hired merely because they were in a romantic relationship.
Regarding financial transaction allegations, Park Na Rae admitted to transferring company money as a security deposit for her ex-boyfriend’s lease but insisted this was “a welfare loan for employees, processed normally with verification from the accounting team, including collateral registration and interest payments.” On the other hand, the former manager claimed that Park Na Rae used the corporate card to purchase luxury gifts for her ex-boyfriend, and despite a newly appointed accountant raising concerns about this, no corrective action was taken.
Especially according to Park Na Rae’s interview, the ex-boyfriend seems to have been deeply involved in overall company operations beyond a typical employee’s role. She revealed that “most contracts related to me were reviewed by that friend,” suggesting he had better knowledge and control over the company’s cash flow and legal documents than Park Na Rae, the company’s representative.
As a result, Park Na Rae’s ex-boyfriend is likely to become a painful thorn and a ticking time bomb for her. While hiring a romantic partner is not illegal in itself, allegations that a college dropout was disguised as a business administration expert could seriously damage her credibility due to deception accusations. Additionally, if the former managers’ claims that gift expenses for the boyfriend were charged to the corporate card are true, it would constitute clear embezzlement. Without concrete explanations, avoiding legal punishment would be difficult.
From personal privacy leaks, including allegations of sexual activity in a vehicle driven by the manager, curiosity about the true nature of Park Na Rae’s ex-boyfriend has gradually surfaced. As he is not a mere bystander but a potential trigger in this case, attention will focus on whether he will appear directly in court as a witness or in some other capacity during the upcoming legal battles.
