Comedian Park Na Rae is involved in an ongoing legal dispute with her former managers, and a lawyer has pointed out that her response concerning the “real estate provisional attachment” is “a very risky choice,” drawing attention.
On the 14th, the YouTube channel “Lawyer Jang” posted a video titled “Why Park Na Rae Won’t Apologize.” The video features lawyer Jang Won Ho analyzing the recent provisional attachment and counter-lawsuits between Park Na Rae and her former managers from a legal perspective.
Previously, the former managers applied for a provisional attachment on real estate worth about ₩100 million KRW (about $68,400 USD) against Park Na Rae, and the court approved it, making a house owned by Park Na Rae subject to the attachment. Lawyer Jang explained, “Provisional attachment is not a procedure that accepts just any claim easily,” adding, “The court must have recognized at least the possibility that the claim exists for it to be approved.”
The problem arose when Park Na Rae’s side later registered an additional claim stating that “there was an existing mortgage on the property.” Lawyer Jang noted, “The house already had a ₩1.00 billion KRW (about $684,000 USD) bank mortgage, and on top of that, another mortgage worth about ₩4.90 billion KRW (about $3.35 million USD) was set under Park Na Rae’s own company name. This effectively exhausts the collateral value of the house, rendering the provisional attachment meaningless.”
He continued, “If the claim had actually existed from before, it should have been registered already,” cautioning, “The fact that a mortgage appeared late after the provisional attachment naturally raises suspicions and could lead to issues such as evasion of enforcement or false declaration.”
Particularly, Lawyer Jang emphasized, “From the opposing side’s perspective, this can only be seen as an attempt to nullify the provisional attachment,” and added, “This approach won’t end the dispute but will rather escalate the lawsuit.” He analyzed that the former managers might file a lawsuit to cancel this additional mortgage registration.
Currently, Park Na Rae’s former managers have filed a lawsuit claiming damages based on abuse of power, special injury, proxy prescription, and unpaid progress fees, alongside applying for a real estate provisional attachment. In response, Park Na Rae has countersued the former managers for attempted extortion and embezzlement, intensifying the legal battle.
With both sides proceeding with further lawsuits and deepening the conflict, experts agree that “at this point, managing legal risks is more important than a pride battle.” Lawyer Jang also advised, “It is much better in the long term to resolve as much as possible through settlement.”
