The first trial for former managers indicted on charges of demanding a portion of the company's revenue from comedian Park Na-rae will be held.

On the 29th, Criminal Division 4 of the Seoul Western District Court will conduct the initial hearing in the case against Park Na-rae's former managers, Shin and Lee, who are charged with violating the Act on the Punishment of Violent Acts (joint extortion).

Previously, the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office indicted Shin and Lee without detention on the 6th of last month.

According to the prosecution, the two are suspected of demanding an amount equivalent to 10% of the company's revenue in 2024 while making claims to the effect that "Park Na-rae used company funds privately for her ex-boyfriend and others." However, it is known that they did not actually receive any money, so the crime is considered an attempted offense.

In addition, Shin is also suspected of embezzling approximately 44 million won from Park Na-rae's company funds. Accordingly, charges of occupational embezzlement and fraud using computers, etc., were also applied.

Park Na-rae, who was embroiled in a controversy over manager abuse last year, has currently suspended all activities. Park Na-rae's former managers filed a complaint against Park Na-rae, alleging that she received IV drips in various spaces, including her home, through a person known as "Auntie IV" (Ms. A), and further accusing her of abusive behavior, aggravated assault, proxy prescription, illegal medical procedures, and non-payment of production fees. They charged her with aggravated assault, defamation by false statements, and violations of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc.

On the other hand, Park Na-rae filed a counter-complaint against her former managers on charges including attempted extortion and occupational embezzlement.
