South Korean comedian Park Na Rae is embroiled in a legal dispute with her former managers, A and B, who remain officially registered as in-house directors of her agency despite no longer working there. This has drawn criticism over the agency's internal management and administrative procedures, as individuals engaged in active legal battles with the company are still listed as corporate executives.
Why it matters
The situation highlights potential issues with the administrative and legal management within a one-person entertainment agency structure, where basic corporate procedures like director registration may not be properly handled even as conflicts escalate. It also raises questions about transparency and accountability at small, privately-owned entertainment companies.
The details
According to reports, former managers A and B were appointed as in-house directors of Park Na Rae's agency on September 26, 2025 and listed on the corporate registry on October 13. However, A and B left the company in November, claiming workplace harassment and abuse of power, and have since been involved in both civil and criminal legal battles with Park Na Rae. Despite no longer working at the agency, A and B remain officially registered as current directors, as changes to corporate registration must be processed by the company. Industry insiders note the agency could formally dismiss the former managers through procedural steps and apply for registration changes, but this has not been done.
- A and B were appointed as in-house directors on September 26, 2025.
- A and B were listed on the corporate registry on October 13, 2025.
- A and B left the company in November 2025, claiming workplace harassment and abuse of power.
- Park Na Rae has completed two rounds of questioning as a complainant at Yongsan Police Station.
- A reportedly departed for Las Vegas, citing health reasons, and plans to return next month.

What they’re saying
“I already left the company, so I don't understand why I'm still listed as a director. Because it's a corporation, the removal from registration has to be done by Park Na Rae's side. There's nothing we can do. Being listed as a director brings no benefit, and we don't hold any shares.”

“We are not in a situation where we can handle administrative matters right now. Regarding company issues, it is difficult to make any plans or decisions at this stage.”

What’s next
The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow A to be released on bail.
The takeaway
This case highlights the potential challenges and lack of oversight in the administrative and legal management of one-person entertainment agencies, where basic corporate procedures may not be properly handled even as conflicts escalate between the artist and former employees.
