Park Na Rae has once again found herself at the center of controversy, following explosive allegations made by her former managers. The allegations, which include claims of workplace harassment and being forced to witness alleged sexual activity inside a moving vehicle, have sparked intense online debate and revived past rumors involving actor Sung Hoon.
According to a report by South Korean broadcaster Channel A, Park Na Rae’s former managers filed an official complaint with labor authorities on December 18. In the complaint they accused the 40-year-old celebrity of repeated workplace abuse during their employment.
One of the most shocking claims detailed in the complaint alleges that Park Na Rae engaged in what was described as “automotive intimacy” with a male companion in the backseat of a moving vehicle, while managers sat in the driver and passenger seats. The former executives said they were forced to watch the entire incident.
The complaint also alleges that Park Na Rae repeatedly kicked the driver’s seat during the crash, nearly causing a traffic accident.
Male mate speculation
Following the news, Korean online communities quickly began speculating about the identity of the man allegedly involved. Attention soon turned to actor Sung Hoon, who was previously linked to Park Na Rae through rumors in 2023.
At the time, a viral online post claimed that Park Na Rae and Sung Hoon had been rushed to the emergency room after an alleged sexual encounter resulted in a medical complication. Agencies from both parties have firmly denied the rumors and announced legal action against the spread of false information.
However, the resurfacing of the former managers’ claims has reignited speculation, particularly given Park Na Rae and Sung Hoon’s past on-screen interactions on the popular variety show I live alonewhere their chemistry once fueled dating rumors.
Further charges and investigation ongoing
In addition to the alleged car accident, Park Na Rae’s former managers have also accused her of financial misconduct. They alleged that she listed an ex-boyfriend as a high-salaried company employee and diverted KRW3.3 billion (about $2.5 million) in company funds to cover a deposit to rent a luxury apartment for him.
The former executives have reportedly presented relevant evidence to the police. Authorities are currently investigating the case and no final conclusions have been announced.
At this time, Park Na Rae has not released a new official statement addressing the latest allegations. With the investigation ongoing, public opinion remains sharply divided and the case continues to attract the attention of Korean media and online communities.
