Narae Park apologized for causing controversy over sexual harassment through inappropriate words and actions in the web entertainment program’Hanarae’. He also said that he would get off the program.
JDB Entertainment, Park Na-rae’s agency, said in a statement on the 25th, “We are aware of the problem for causing inconvenience to those who have watched the video, and once again bow down and apologize. He explained that the reason for the delay in the official position is because the management company meetings have been lengthened.
He added, “When I heard the planning intention, character setting, and props from the production team, I had to be filtered out of my own line to some extent, and I also had to think more about the way of expression, but I am deeply reflecting on the points that I couldn’t do.”
Also, “(Narae Park) finished discussion with the production team to get off at’Hinarae’,” he said. “I will take this opportunity to further think and proceed.” The agency bowed again and again, saying, “I feel a heavy sense of responsibility once again, and I convey my regret for causing concern to many people.”
YouTuber Hazyni (Kang Hyejin), who appeared with him, also apologized through his SNS. He posted a handwritten apology on Instagram this afternoon, saying, “I sincerely apologize to all those who would have been offended as a performer for the unpleasant video.” “As a creator of children’s content, I appeared in a video that would make fans and everyone uncomfortable watching. I should have checked more carefully, but I wasn’t careful.”
‘Hanarae’, a reality entertainment program starring comedian Park Narae and YouTuber Hazyni, is the original content of CJ ENM’s digital entertainment channel studio Waffle.
The problem arose on the 23rd. It was the second episode of experiencing the latest trendy toys. In the video, Narae Park, who was looking at a male doll wearing only underwear, looked at how far his arms were stretched, creating a shape reminiscent of a penis.
Immediately, online reactions were unpleasant, saying, “If a male entertainer did the same thing as a Barbie doll, it was a feeling of retirement in the entertainment industry.”
The video was closed and the production crew announced on the 24th through a YouTube channel community announcement, “We sincerely apologize for disappointing our subscribers.” He also said to the performers, “I am sorry for the damage caused by the production team’s excessive direction and character setting.”
