Comedian and television personality Park Na-rae’s recent home burglary case has taken a significant turn. On April 14, 2025, Korea JoongAng Daily reported that the suspect behind the theft had been apprehended. He is said to be a man in his 30s.
He was identified through surveillance footage and also linked to a separate burglary incident in the Yongsan district. The thief allegedly did not know the home belonged to Park Na-rae and acted alone. He even attempted to sell the stolen items.
Her representative confirmed the news. They were relieved by the swift investigation and outcome. According to Star News, they said,
“We would like to inform you of the current status of the theft incident that recently occurred at Park Na-rae’s home.We judged the incident to be a theft by an outsider and requested an investigation by providing the police with CCTV footage from inside the house on the 8th.”
They further stated,
“Afterwards, the police arrested the suspect after identifying him, and it appears that an arrest warrant has already been issued. I am so grateful that the suspect was arrested after a swift investigation by the investigative authorities, and I thank them for their hard work.”
As rumors began circulating online about a possible inside job, her agency firmly denied such claims and asked the public to refrain from spreading unverified information.
“Although some have raised the possibility that this was an inside job, we would like to make it clear that this is not true. We respectfully request that you refrain from reporting on unconfirmed facts.”
They continued,
“In addition, groundless false information is being spread indiscriminately through online communities and SNS. We emphasize that we will take strong legal action against such false information without any leniency. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has shown concern and support.”
The agency warned that legal action would be taken against anyone spreading false accusations.
Park Na-rae to resume scheduled broadcast activities
Following the break-in on April 8, Park Na-rae initially reported the burglary to the Yongsan Police Station. The crime led her to cancel an appearance on a radio show that day due to emotional distress.
