While comedian Park Na-rae continues to have a sharp conflict with her former manager A, it has been confirmed that one of the issues in the case, the unregistered status of the agency's pop culture and arts planning business, has not been resolved.
According to a report by Star News on the 21st, Park Na-rae's agency, An Park, did not register as a pop culture and arts planning business even after the dispute with A broke out. An Park is a one-man agency of Park Na-rae, and Park Na-rae's mother, Ko, is listed as the CEO.
According to the current Pop Culture and Arts Industry Development Act, pop culture and arts planning companies must register with the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism through an administrative agency having jurisdiction over the location of the workplace. If you operate in violation of this, you can face up to two years in prison or a fine of up to 20 million won.
Founded in July 2018, N Park has become the subject of controversy for failing to fulfill its obligation to register in the planning industry, even though it was a company that moved after Park Na-rae broke up with his former agency JDB Entertainment in 2024. In particular, even though the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism operated the "one-day registration guidance period" from September to December 31 last year, it was found that Anpark has not been registered until now.
An official from Park Na-rae told Star News, "The N Park corporation itself is still maintained," but explained, "It is true even if I registered (pop culture and arts planning business) when it became controversial, but it is not a situation where Park Na-rae can resume broadcasting activities right away, and I could not afford to care mentally or practically."
After the case began in earnest with A, it was explained that there was a practical difficulty in organizing the issue of registration of the pop culture and arts planning business at the same time. In addition, the registration of the pop culture and arts planning business is directly related to the management and management functions of the entertainers, but it is not considered an urgent issue at this point when various controversies have not been resolved. An official from Park Na-rae said, "We will proceed with the (registration) process if necessary in the future."
Currently, Park Na-rae is engaged in a truth battle with A over various suspicions such as abuse of power, harassment at work, and embezzlement. In the wake of this incident, issues regarding the operation of single-person agencies and the overall management system were also under fire.
Earlier, Park Na-rae and A reiterated their conflicting positions over the responsibility of N Park's non-registration of pop culture and arts planning business.
While Park Na-rae claimed that former managers falsely reported that they had completed the registration process, A countered that it was impossible to register because Park Na-rae's mother, who was listed as the CEO, did not give him the necessary documents.
Park Na-rae said, "We need to check the history of sex crimes to register, so my mother was issued a related document by the court, and she delivered all the power of attorney, corporate seal, seal and ID," claiming that she ordered A and all other managers to register, but it was not fulfilled.
In response, A refuted that the mandatory document, a confirmation of the history of sex crimes, was not submitted, adding, "I asked for it several times, but my mother, Park Na-rae, kept delaying it and did not give it to me, so I couldn't register it."
