“Amazing Saturday” Addresses Cast Vacancy After Park Na Rae’s Departure
Following Park Na Rae‘s decision to withdraw from all variety shows amid ongoing controversies including allegations of manager abuse, illegal medical practices, and unregistered solo agency operations, the production team of Amazing Saturday has commented on future plans.
Park Na Rae became embroiled in controversy after two former managers filed for provisional seizure of her real estate. The ex-managers, who worked at Park’s solo agency, claimed abuse of power including verbal abuse, physical injury, proxy prescriptions, non-payment of hosting fees, and continuous personal errands.
