'Sexual Rumors' Park Narae Sues Distributors: "No Negotiation or Leniency"

Malicious Rumors Spread About Talent Seonghun
Complaint Filed on 13th... Case Assigned on 14th

Comedian Park Narae has filed a complaint with the police against those who spread malicious rumors related to actor Seonghun.

According to the police on the 14th, Park Narae submitted a complaint to the Mapo Police Station in Seoul the previous day, accusing the rumor spreaders of defamation by false information under the Information and Communications Network Act.

A police official stated, "Park Narae's side submitted the complaint regarding the related posts on the 13th," adding, "The case was assigned to the investigation department on the 14th, and the case records were received that morning."

Seonghun, another party involved in this malicious rumor, also filed a complaint with the Gwangjin Police Station in Seoul on the 18th of last month against the spreaders for defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act.

Previously, last month, sexual rumors about Seonghun and Park Narae spread mainly through online communities. The rumor claimed that Seonghun and Park Narae were seen together in a hospital emergency room. The credibility of the rumor escalated uncontrollably after the original spreader reportedly posted the related message in a workplace community accessible only to nurses at that hospital.

At that time, Seonghun's agency, Stallion Entertainment, stated, "The rumors about Seonghun spreading on some online communities and social networking services (SNS) are clear falsehoods," adding, "Our agency cannot overlook the current situation where the reputation of our actor is being damaged and not only the actor but also their family is suffering, and we plan to take strong legal action."

Park Narae's agency, JDB Entertainment, also immediately released a statement saying, "The family and those around are also suffering," and "We will take all possible legal measures against the original creators and spreaders of the malicious rumors, as well as any acts of amplifying and reproducing baseless content as if it were true, and there will be no negotiations or leniency regarding this matter."

Park Narae and Seonghun appeared together on MBC's entertainment program 'I Live Alone' from 2017 until last year. In the 2019 MBC Entertainment Awards, Seonghun was seen carefully holding Park Narae's dress as she went on stage and warmly comforting her after she received the grand prize, showing a close relationship that sparked dating rumors, which ultimately ended as a misunderstanding.
