Comedian Park Na-rae, facing a third police investigation amid legal disputes with her former manager and allegations of illegal medical practices, clarified that reports by some media outlets claiming she would be summoned for investigation on the 11th are false.

A representative for Park Na-rae told StarNews on the 11th, "Reports that she appeared at the police station today (11th) for additional summons and investigation are not true. She has not yet received an official summons from the police."

According to StarNews' investigation, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station, which is investigating the case, plans to summon Park Na-rae for additional investigation later this month on charges including aggravated assault, defamation, and violation of the Medical Services Act. This will be her third summons, following those in February and March.

While some media outlets reported that Park Na-rae would undergo a third summons investigation on this day, her side denied it, stating, "That is completely false. We have also confirmed with her lawyer." Typically, when the police issue a summons, the date is coordinated in consultation with the lawyer. However, the representative added, "Since the police investigation is not yet concluded, she plans to respond to one more investigation later this month. It seems to be taking time due to the large number of complaints. We understand this is not a matter that can be resolved in a single investigation."

This case began last December when former managers filed a criminal complaint against Park Na-rae, alleging verbal abuse, physical assault, and proxy prescriptions and illegal procedures through a so-called "syringe auntie." In response, Park Na-rae's side denied all related allegations and filed a counter-complaint against the former managers for attempted extortion and embezzlement of office property with the Seoul Yongsan Police Station.

It is understood that the current cases involving Park Na-rae and her former managers total eight: six at the Gangnam Police Station and two at the Yongsan Police Station.

On February 20, Park Na-rae made her first appearance at the Gangnam Police Station, where she underwent a seven-hour and 30-minute investigation before returning home. At the time, she told reporters, "I approached the investigation diligently and answered questions truthfully." Regarding allegations of abuse of power by her former managers, she said, "That will be revealed through the investigation at a later date." When asked, "Did you ever throw a glass at your managers?" she replied, "We must correct and will correct any parts that are not true." She then bowed her head, saying, "Once again, I apologize 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 a company employee?" and "Do you admit to the charge of illegal drug administration?"

Additionally, after completing her second police investigation on March 20, Park Na-rae told reporters, "I answered questions diligently. It seems that the investigation will reveal the truth."

Meanwhile, Park Na-rae suspended her activities last year amid controversies over her former managers' abuse of power and allegations of illegal medical practices. Her former managers revealed that Park Na-rae received IV drips at her own home, the home of the "syringe auntie" in Ilsan, and in vehicles, through a person identified as "Syringe Auntie" A. During this process, it was revealed that SHINee member Key and YouTuber Ipjjal-eun-haet-nim were involved, prompting apologies and the suspension of their activities as well.
