Comedian Park Na-rae is experiencing an unexpected period of distress, having been involved in a live broadcast with a close friend from the entertainment industry and even facing a burglary incident at her home.

On the 8th, Park Na-rae canceled her scheduled guest appearance on MBC Radio Standard FM's 'Son Tae-jin's Trot Radio (abbreviated as Sontra).' The 'Sontra' production team and DJ Son Tae-jin only informed that it was due to Park Na-rae's 'personal circumstances,' but the reason was that her condition was poor due to the impact of the theft incident at her home.

Coincidentally, on the 5th, Park Na-rae's close friend, broadcaster and former announcer Jun Hyun-moo, along with singer BoA, conducted an SNS live broadcast after drinking, where they faced public backlash due to disparaging remarks aimed at Park Na-rae. When a netizen questioned whether Park Na-rae and Jun Hyun-moo were dating, BoA responded, "It's a shame for oppa (Jun Hyun-moo)." While this comment came amidst drinking and due to their close friendship, it drew criticism for a lack of consideration for Park Na-rae.

This situation soon led to sympathy for Park Na-rae. Amidst this, the theft incident at Park Na-rae's home shocked the public and elicited support. Some netizens even showed a senseless jealousy, suggesting that the incident was a backlash due to Park Na-rae displaying her wealth by sharing details about her house, which she purchased for 5.5 billion won in cash, on the MBC entertainment show 'I Live Alone.' However, the burglary was not justified, and support for Park Na-rae, who was shocked to the point of showing a poor condition, continued.

Comforting Park Na-rae, Jun Hyun-moo publicly apologized once more through his personal SNS on the 9th. He stated, "My official apology regarding the live broadcast on Saturday was delayed," and added, "I immediately conveyed my apologies to Na-rae right after the broadcast."

In particular, Jun Hyun-moo expressed, "I want to say again that I am sorry and grateful to Na-rae, who generously understood my inappropriate remarks." He emphasized, "Mentioning someone in broadcasting without their consent and hastily conducting a live broadcast while under the influence were definitely wrong actions. I sincerely apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable due to this incident." Finally, he added, "The closer I am to someone, the more I will be considerate and cherish them. I will reflect on this," creating a reversal in public opinion as 'a model apology.'

However, reports have emerged that police are investigating Park Na-rae's home burglary as an 'inside job.' Though a theft incident occurred at Park Na-rae's house, there was no outside intrusion. This raised the possibility that the crime was committed by someone with facial recognition access to her home.

However, Park Na-rae's side stated, "It's difficult to confirm due to the investigation details, and we are cautious about releasing an official statement," requesting understanding. This was interpreted as a tacit acknowledgment of the report's content, adding to the disappointment. Park Na-rae is often praised for sharing moments of joy with friends at home or sharing food in numerous broadcasts. This adds to the shock that someone with an acquaintance could have committed the burglary, as she has shown such moments in her personal YouTube content or on 'I Live Alone' during holidays or kimjang season.

In just a few days, public sympathy for Park Na-rae, who has been undesirably in the spotlight, is intensifying. Will she be able to express her thoughts directly during the filming of 'I Live Alone,' where she shares her daily life? The public's support and comfort are directed towards Park Na-rae.
