Park Na-rae, sexual harassment controversy rises
‘Hazyni’ apologizes for “excessive directing and character setting”
Netizens “If Narae Park was a man, it would be eviction”
Even though’Hanarae’ side apologized for the controversy over sexual harassment by comedian Park Na-rae, protests from viewers are rife.
On the 24th, YouTube studio waffle’Hinarae’ said to the community, “I sincerely apologize for disappointing subscribers regarding the 2nd video.”
He said, “We humbly accept the opinions given by our subscribers, and the second video will be reviewed again, and we will also pay attention to the production of the video that will be released in the future.”
The production crew of’Hinarae’ bowed their head, saying, “I apologize to all those who watch Hainarae again,” saying, “I apologize for causing damage to the performers by excessive directing and character setting.”
‘Hinarae’ is a content planned and produced by CJ ENM’s YouTube channel’Studio Waffle’. It is a concentric forced-injection reality entertainment created by Park Na-rae, who has a reputation as a 19-karat gold comedy, and Hazy-ni (real name Kang Hye-jin), the children’s president.
However, the opinion that Park Na-rae crossed the line in the recently released episode 2 was dominant. In this video with the concept of experiencing the latest trendy toys, Narae Park and Hazyni introduced a male doll’Armstrong Man’ wearing only underwear.
Park Na-rae changed the clothes of a male doll and made a meaningful expression, and looked at the doll, saying, “I want the kids to look back.” He made comments describing the doll’s body, such as “too back T” and “I thought it was there”.
In addition, the doll’s hand covered major parts of the body, and the production crew subtitled it as'(Josin) K-manner’. Park Na-rae, who was testing her elongated arm, pushed her arm toward the groin of the doll, and Hazy-ni could not hide her embarrassment. The subtitle “Isn’t it just 25 gold?” was posted.
The production crew created and uploaded thumbnails here, saying ’39 gold bad hand’ and’great failure of water level control’.
The studio Waffle side replaced the thumbnail when controversy arose, but deleted the video as the situation grew.
As the controversy arose, the previously published’Hinarae EP.0 Will this be on the air? So it came digital. The video of Heina Rae’s Golden Summit ※Children’s viewing banned※’ was also re-examined.
In the video, when Hazyni said, “If my friends who like me are bullied by Park Na-rae, they said to wave a carrot and ask for rescue.” Park Na-rae said, “Why are you shaking a carrot?” .
There was also a scene reminiscent of obscene acts, such as gathering feet and rubbing the legs of the table. The production crew posted subtitles such as’How to use the foot with a peculiarity’ and’Yatsu’ on this scene, making them frown.
Netizens said, “If Park Na-rae was a man, she was leaving the entertainment industry.” I poured out criticism toward him. In addition, there was an opinion that Park Na-rae should get off at’I Live Alone’ where Na-rae is appearing.
An industry insider pointed out that “Youtube content that subscribers of various ages see must be produced with a high level of sincerity, but it is distorted from the ease of causing a gag or laughter.”
