She paid him ₩44.0 million KRW (about $29,900 USD) in a span of 11 months, while also paying her mother ₩55.0 million KRW (about $37,400 USD) despite her not actually working. It was further alleged that she transferred approximately ₩300 million KRW (about $204,000 USD) to her ex-boyfriend under the pretext of helping him secure a jeonse deposit.
Park Nae Rae’s side has categorically denied the allegations, claiming that these claims are fabricated and intended to pressure them into a lawsuit. “We have already filed charges against them for extortion,” her representative added.
