A trial against two former managers who threatened to expose allegations that they misappropriated company funds from broadcaster Park Na-rae will begin this September.

According to StarNews, the Seoul Western District Court's Criminal Division 4 plans to hold the first court session on September 15 for Shin, a former manager of Park Na-rae, and another individual, both charged with violating the Act on the Punishment of Violent Acts, among others (joint extortion).

Previously, the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office arrested and indicted Mr. Shin on those charges on the 6th, while also indicting another former manager, Ms. A, without arrest.

According to the Prosecutors' Office, they are accused of demanding an amount equivalent to 10% of the company's revenue in 2024 by claiming that "Park Na-rae privately used company funds for her ex-boyfriend and others." Additionally, Mr. Shin is also charged with misappropriating approximately 44 million won of Park Na-rae's company funds. Charges of embezzlement in the course of duty and fraud using computers were also applied to Mr. Shin. The two did not actually receive any money, so the crime remained an attempt.

Mr. Shin was also charged with embezzlement in the course of duty and fraud using computers. The Prosecutors' Office determined that Mr. Shin misappropriated approximately 44 million won of Ms. Park's company funds.

Previously, the Seoul Yongsan Police Station arrested Mr. Shin and placed Ms. A under non-arrest status on July 21 before transferring them to the Prosecutors' Office.

The police believe that Mr. Shin demanded an amount equivalent to 10% of the company's revenue in 2024 from Park Na-rae's side by claiming that "Park Na-rae used company funds for private purposes, such as for her ex-boyfriend," and it is also known that he misappropriated about 30 million won of company funds.

According to relevant officials, the police did not arrest another former manager who was investigated alongside Mr. Shin, and they are expected to transfer them to the Prosecutors' Office as early as the 21st.

Meanwhile, Park Na-rae previously appeared at the Gangnam Police Station twice in February and March for investigations related to various allegations against her.

After finishing a seven-and-a-half-hour investigation during her first appearance, Park Na-rae stated in response to reporters' questions about what she had clarified during the investigation: "I approached the investigation diligently and answered all questions truthfully." Regarding allegations of abuse by former managers, she said, "I believe that will be revealed later through the investigation." When asked if she had ever thrown a glass at her managers, she replied, "I approached today's investigation diligently, and I must correct and plan to correct any parts that are not true." She then bowed her head, saying, "Once again, I sincerely 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, "Nothing." She remained silent in response to follow-up questions such as "What questions did you receive during today's investigation?", "Is it true that you paid your mother and ex-boyfriend a salary like company employees?", and "Do you admit to the charge of illegal drug use?"

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

Park Na-rae had previously halted her activities due to allegations of illegal medical procedures following controversies over abuse by her managers last year. Her former managers exposed that Park Na-rae received IV drips from a person known as "Injection Auntie" A at her own home, the residence of Injection Auntie in Ilsan, and vehicles. During this process, it was revealed that SHINee member Key and mukbang YouTuber Ipjjal-eun Haetnim were involved, prompting Park Na-rae to apologize, and they also halted their activities.

Conversely, Park Na-rae has filed a complaint against her former managers at the Yongsan Police Station for attempted extortion and embezzlement in the course of duty, and the investigation into her as the complainant has already been completed. Park Na-rae refuted their claims, stating that they demanded large sums of money based on false allegations. Subsequently, Park Na-rae was transferred to the Prosecutors' Office on charges of special assault and violation of the Act on the Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, among others.
