Comedian Park Na-rae Faces New Scrutiny in Prescription Drug investigation
Seoul, South Korea – Comedian Park Na-rae is again under investigation, this time regarding allegations of obtaining illegally distributed sleeping pills, according to reports surfacing on December 6, 2025. The probe follows previous scrutiny earlier in the year concerning her use of propofol, a powerful anesthetic, and centers on whether she acquired prescriptions improperly. This latest development raises concerns about potential violations of South Korea’s strict drug regulations and the accessibility of prescription medications.
The investigation began after online communities circulated claims and alleged evidence suggesting Park Na-rae received prescriptions for sleeping pills from multiple doctors in a short period, a practice that could indicate “doctor shopping” to obtain larger quantities than medically necessary. Authorities are examining medical records and interviewing relevant parties to determine if any laws where broken. If found guilty of violating the Narcotics Control Act, park Na-rae could face significant penalties, including fines and imprisonment. The case underscores growing public and regulatory attention to the misuse of prescription drugs within the South Korean entertainment industry and beyond.
