Comedian Park Narae, who is currently facing allegations of abuse by her former manager and illegal medical procedures, is also embroiled in allegations of preferential treatment in connection with tax investigation fines.
According to a media outlet on the 5th, the Investigation Bureau 2 of the Seoul Regional Tax Office conducted an intensive tax investigation of Park Na-rae and her one-man agency, Npark, for approximately one month, beginning in November 2022.
The incident began with a lack of communication. Brian explained the situation, saying, “Before rehearsal, a camera director gave me the direction, ‘Hold the camera and rap during the live broadcast.'” He continued, “I did as instructed, holding the camera and performing during the live broadcast, but it turned out he hadn’t relayed this message to the main director.”
The trouble started right after the show ended. Brian recalled, “As soon as I got off stage, the camera director grabbed me by the collar and started swearing at me, saying, ‘Hey, you son of a b****!’” He said, “I was terrified, thinking, ‘Why are you hitting me?’ without even knowing what was going on. The director thought I was just messing around with the camera.”
Even more bitter was the aftermath. Brian revealed, “Even after the misunderstanding was resolved, the director didn’t apologize to me. He only apologized to our agency, SM Entertainment, and that was it.”
The fact that Jang Wonyoung and the child model’s faces appear similar in size further thrilled fans.
Singer Sohyang has personally apologized for the disappointing response following her live performance of “Golden,” the OST for the Netflix animation “K-Pop Demon Hunters.”
On December 31st of last year, Sohyang, along with Park Hye-won (HYNN) and Youngbin, performed “Golden,” the main OST for “K-Pop Demon Hunters,” on KBS’s “2026 Countdown Show Right Now” held in Myeongdong, Jung-gu, Seoul. Sohyang and Youngbin sang the introduction of the song, but some sections of the performance were unstable in pitch and harmony, leading to criticism about the ensemble’s lack of perfection.
When the performance footage was released on KBS’s official YouTube channel immediately after the broadcast, a variety of opinions poured in online. Some viewers expressed disappointment, saying, “It lacked harmony” and “It felt like an exaggeration.” Others, however, saw it as a product of the tension inherent in live performances.
