Broadcast personality Park Na-rae, who has been in conflict with former managers over allegations of abuse and illegal medical procedures, is expected to undergo another police investigation in mid-May.

According to StarNews' investigation, Park Na-rae is scheduled to be questioned at Seoul Gangnam Police Station regarding charges including aggravated assault, defamation, violation of the Information and Communications Network Act, and violation of the Medical Services Act. The date has not yet been determined.

Park Na-rae previously appeared at Gangnam Police Station twice, in February and March, to undergo investigations related to various charges.

After spending seven hours and 30 minutes in the first investigation, Park Na-rae told reporters, "I approached the investigation diligently and answered questions truthfully." When asked about the allegations of abusing her former managers, she said, "I believe those details will be revealed through the investigation." In response to the question, "Did you ever throw a glass of alcohol at your managers?" she replied, "I approached today's investigation diligently, and I must correct and will correct any parts that are not true." She then bowed her head, saying, "I sincerely apologize again for the inconvenience and concern caused by my personal matters."

When asked if she had anything to say to her former managers, Park Na-rae replied, "No." She remained silent in response to follow-up questions such as, "What questions did you receive during today's investigation?" "Did you pay your mother and former boyfriend a salary like company employees?" and "Do you admit to the charge of illegal drug administration?"

After the second police investigation, Park Na-rae told reporters, "I answered questions diligently. I believe the truth will be revealed through the investigation."

Following last year's controversy over abuse by her managers, Park Na-rae suspended her activities amid allegations of illegal medical procedures. Her former managers revealed that Park Na-rae received intravenous drips at her own home, the home of "Injection Auntie" A, and a residence in Ilsan, as well as in her vehicle, through "Injection Auntie" A. This revelation implicated SHINee member Key and mukbang YouTuber Ipjjapneun Haennim, prompting Park Na-rae to issue an apology, and both Key and Haennim also suspended their activities.

Conversely, Park Na-rae has filed a criminal complaint against her former managers at Seoul Yongsan Police Station on charges of attempted extortion and embezzlement in the course of duty. She has already completed her investigation as a complainant. Park Na-rae refutes the claims, stating that her former managers demanded large sums of money based on false allegations.

In this regard, a representative for Park Na-rae told StarNews, "There are a total of eight cases related to Park Na-rae. Six are being handled by Seoul Gangnam Police Station, and two by Seoul Yongsan Police Station."

It appears that investigations at both police stations are still ongoing. The representative told StarNews, "The investigation at Yongsan Police Station seems to require more time."

Meanwhile, the police are also investigating allegations related to "Injection Auntie" that arose during the former managers' exposure of abuse suspicions. The former managers claim that Park Na-rae continued to receive procedures even after knowing that the person was not a doctor, and that they were aware of the illegality based on recordings and other evidence. Currently, Person A is under suspicion of performing illegal medical procedures on numerous celebrities without a domestic medical license. Recently, Person A has been investigated on charges including violation of the Medical Services Act, violation of the Special Measures Act on the Suppression of Health Crimes, and violation of the Narcotics Control Act. The police have initiated compulsory investigation measures against Person A and have issued an exit ban.
