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.

Npark listed Park Narae's mother as the CEO of a one-person agency, but it is known that she was paid millions of won per month, or nearly 80 million won per year, despite not actually working there. Furthermore, Park Narae reportedly earned nearly 10 billion won between the founding of Npark in July 2018 and mid-2021, just before the tax audit, but retained most of the money within the corporation.

Brian brought up a trauma from his rookie days that had been buried deep within his heart. He shocked everyone by revealing, "Only six months after my debut, I was as***ted by a cameraman during a music show shoot."

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."

He added, “That day just so happened to be the day my mom and dad, who were in the US, came to Korea for the first time to see my performance,” hinting at the humiliation and sadness he had to endure on that happy day. [Nate

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.

As the controversy spread, Sohyang took to the comments section to personally express her position. In response to a netizen's comment, "It seems like you only focused on the high notes," Sohyang bowed her head, replying, "That's right. I ruined everything. I'm also very disappointed." She continued to communicate with fans through comments, acknowledging her shortcomings and offering a sincere apology. [Nate
