That said, the report also mentioned “a tall, handsome man” accompanying Park Na Rae—leading to widespread speculation about the man’s identity.

He is a temporary manager who is personally helping her with work matters.”

The man also spoke to the outlet about Park Na Rae’s current condition, noting, “Park Na Rae is going through a very difficult and emotionally challenging period right now.”
