Comedian and TV personality Park Na-rae was recently the victim of a home burglary, prompting a police investigation, her agency said Tuesday. The incident came to light after reports of her absence from scheduled broadcasts due to poor health.

An official from Park’s agency said, “A burglar recently broke into Park Na-rae’s home and stole valuables. The exact amount of loss has not been confirmed yet, and her manager filed a police report.”

Park’s absence from MBC FM’s “Son Tae-jin’s Trot Radio” first raised concern about her condition. The show’s producers announced on social media that Park would not be participating “due to personal reasons.”

Her agency later said, “Park Na-rae isn’t feeling well. She’s expected to resume activities after a day or two of rest. She’s only skipping the radio schedule, all other future appearances will proceed as planned.”

Following the broadcast cancellation, news of the burglary surfaced. According to her agency, Park’s health has been affected by the incident.

The break-in occurred at Park’s detached home in Seoul’s Yongsan District, which was previously featured on MBC’s “I Live Alone.” She reportedly purchased the house for 5.5 billion won ($4 million) and personally oversaw its interior design. The news of the burglary has sparked concern among fans, especially as the home had been shown in detail on television.
