Park Na-rae's Former Manager Arrested for Alleged Extortion, Embezzlement

Popular South Korean host Park Na-rae (박나래) has reportedly been extorted by an associate. According to an exclusive report by Korean media outlet MBC, the Seoul Yongsan Police Station formally arrested and detained Park Na-rae's former manager, identified only as Shin, on June 16 on charges including attempted extortion.

Police stated that Shin allegedly threatened Park Na-rae, demanding a large sum of money or he would expose claims that she had misappropriated company funds for personal use, providing them to a former boyfriend and others. Shin reportedly demanded 10% of Park Na-rae's company's 2024 revenue, attempting to extort a substantial amount with these alleged false accusations.

Furthermore, police investigations revealed that Shin is suspected of embezzling approximately 30 million Korean won (about $21,700 USD) in company funds. The related criminal acts are currently under further investigation.

Police added that another former manager is also involved in the case and is expected to be transferred to the prosecution for investigation today along with Shin.
