Park Na Rae’s Managers Expose Her For Fraudulent Hiring
More details have surfaced about the circumstances surrounding the departure of comedienne and TV personality Park Na Rae’s former managers, shedding light on disputes over severance pay and financial settlements.
On December 8, 2025, the YouTube channel Entertainment President Lee Jin Ho released an exclusive report. According to Lee Jin Ho, both of Park Na Rae’s former managers were women —one a senior, executive-level manager who had worked with her since her days at JDB Entertainment, and the other a junior on-site manager who had been by her side for roughly one year and three months.
Regarding severance pay and settlement issues, Park Na Rae’s side previously stated that the managers were paid their dues.
“The two employees who worked with Park Na-rae for approximately one year and three months have recently left the company, and we have duly paid their severance pay. However, after receiving their severance, they demanded an additional amount equivalent to 10% of the company’s previous year’s revenue.”
However, Lee claimed that Park only paid a part of the dues. He explained that while working hours are typically defined, managers often face unpredictable work, and in Park Na Rae’s case, managers allegedly had to remain on standby 24 hours a day at drinking gatherings and frequently handled personal errands. According to the managers, they were on near-constant standby during parties, and there were even instances where they worked continuously for 26 hours.
“After checking the facts, Park Na Rae’s side claimed they properly settled severance pay, but in reality, they only paid part of it. The key issue was overtime pay.”
Lee further claimed that Park Na Rae parted ways with JDB Entertainment in September of last year, and because the departure was sudden, she had no manager to handle her affairs. As a result, she reportedly proposed to one of the managers, who was then still employed at JDB, to work together. Park proposed a high salary and incentive that was ultimately unfulfilled.
“I want to work together. Let’s sign a 70:30 or 80:20 contract based on the standard contract and run a one-person agency.”
After the manager resigned, Park allegedly postponed the formal standard contract, proposing a monthly salary of ₩5.00 million KRW (about $3,400 USD) and 10% of the company’s profits. Trusting this promise, the manager waited, but it was not kept. Only around ₩3.00 million KRW (about $2,040 USD) per month was paid, and the 10% profit share was never delivered. As a result, during the resignation process, the managers requested settlement based on severance pay and the promised 10% profit share. The agency, however, immediately released an official statement saying they were demanding “hundreds of millions of won” and “10% of the previous year’s revenue.”
