In a video uploaded on January 18 to his channel Entertainment President Lee Jin Ho, Lee Jin Ho shared text messages, transcripts, and eyewitness accounts to fact-check both sides. He clarified upfront, “I’m not here to defend Park Na Rae. We just need to rely on data—not claims.”
The controversy initially stemmed from former manager A, who claimed they were promised 5 million KRW in salary but only received 3 million KRW. Lee explained the employment timeline, noting that A joined JDB Entertainment as a road manager in March 2023 and later moved to Park Na Rae’s personal company in September 2024.
Lee corrected a previous claim that A was paid 1.7 million KRW monthly, stating the agency later confirmed the amount was around 2.3 million KRW. He also cited a text message where A allegedly responded, “The project budget is sufficient—you can even lower it,” which contradicts their wage-related accusations.
The video revisits allegations of power abuse at Park Na Rae’s home during a filming schedule in November 2025. A claimed they were insulted over a missing wine glass and light stand, but a hair and makeup staffer present said, “There were no harsh words or yelling—everyone just wanted to find the items quickly and move on.”
One of the most emotional revelations came from a reported early morning meeting on December 7–8, 2025. While A said they went alone, Lee claimed a tipster confirmed that A’s romantic partner B also attended, making it a 2-on-2 meeting rather than 1-on-3. According to B’s account, A broke down crying in the doorway, and Park Na Rae also wept. During the meeting, A reportedly said, “Sister, don’t quit I Live Alone. I’ll stop everything. I’ll even handle Amazing Saturday,” pleading with her not to withdraw from shows.
Despite this, the next afternoon A’s legal team sent over a draft agreement. Lee noted that Park’s side was taken aback by the tone, which contradicted the emotional meeting hours before. The draft allegedly asked Park Na Rae to retract all her claims, including accusations of embezzlement and blackmail attempts. In response, Park asked, “If not about money, then what is it you want?”
Negotiations escalated emotionally and officially fell apart around 10 PM that evening.
Lee Jin Ho concluded the video by highlighting how “both sides view the same situation completely differently,” reinforcing the importance of relying on documented facts, not just personal claims. The conflict remains unresolved and continues to stir debate online.
