Comedian Park Na-rae, 41, appears set to attend questioning at Seoul’s Gangnam Police Station after the Lunar New Year holiday. Officials suspect her of grabbing and threatening full-time manicurists during a confrontation.
Special Summons Issued Post-Holiday
Gangnam Police have specially summoned Park Na-rae for interrogation on threat charges and related offenses. She missed an earlier January 12 appearance, citing sudden accommodation problems and requesting an extension. The station plans to proceed once the holiday ends on the 18th.
Seven Suspects Under Investigation
Investigators link Park Na-rae to six other individuals in the ongoing probe. The manicurists ignored their summonses and now face prosecution for defamation threats and Information Communications Network Act violations.
Park Na-rae and associates pursued the salon workers on public insult and business obstruction suspicions.
Assault and Extortion Demands Emerge
The incident involves suspects demanding massive ransoms from salon staff. One victim received death threats through ‘Jusaimo’ A-series robot texts. Police view this as part of larger criminal patterns.
Key Figure Leads to Arrests
A central suspect, known as ‘A,’ got an investigation notice on January 7. This prompted the capture of Park Na-rae, a male accomplice, and other manicure-related figures.
‘A’ faces charges for threats, special extortion tied to stolen goods, and marijuana-related crimes. Authorities note ‘A’ ran domestic scams by frequently relocating operations, despite no prior record.
Park Na-rae and her network allegedly recognized ‘A’ as the operation’s leader.
