While trying to uphold loyalty, Park Na-rae encountered a thief… the reason she ultimately couldn't attend the wedding photoshoot
Comedian Park Na-rae learned on the day of the shoot that a bag she had prepared as a prop for her close friend Kim Ji-min's wedding shoot had been stolen, which surprised everyone. Since the two had boasted of their special friendship, it was even more disappointing.
On the 7th, during the YouTube variety show 'Na-rae's Meal,' Park Na-rae cautiously opened up about a recent burglary incident at her home while with actress Jo Bo-ah. Park Na-rae confessed, "Before Ji-min's wedding, she suggested that her comedian friends take wedding photos, and when I went to take out my most expensive bag for the shoot that day, I realized it was missing."
The bag mentioned by Park Na-rae is a luxury item valued at several million won, which she had treasured and kept safe. When Park Na-rae said, "It was the bag I had put in the innermost part; it was nowhere to be found. That's when I realized it," both Jo Bo-ah and the viewers couldn't hide their surprise. She later received advice from an acquaintance and searched for a second-hand luxury transaction platform, where she found a bag identical to the stolen one, and immediately reported it to the police. Park Na-rae explained that recognizing the theft quickly was key to resolving the incident, stating, "The color and model were exactly the same. I just had a gut feeling."
However, Park Na-rae ultimately could not attend Kim Ji-min's wedding photoshoot that day. In a group photo from the shoot shared by Kwon Jae-kwan on social media, Park Na-rae was not seen, and he conveyed the unfortunate circumstances with a brief message, saying, "Na-rae had a theft that day.ㅠ" Park Na-rae indicated that had it not been for that friend, she may never have found out, and if Ji-min had not been preparing for her wedding, she wouldn't have known at all, revealing that her concern for her friend always came first, which evoked a quiet emotion.
Internet users expressed warm reactions, saying, "Na-rae's loyalty in trying to bring out a bag worth several million won as a prop for her friend is touching," "It's even more heartbreaking that she couldn't attend because of the theft," and "The friendship between Kim Ji-min and Park Na-rae is truly genuine."
Meanwhile, after receiving Park Na-rae's report, the police quickly launched an investigation and ultimately apprehended a male suspect in his 30s, leading to a detention investigation. The National Investigation Service officially confirmed this last month, stating that Park Na-rae's calm response greatly assisted in the matter.
