Comedian Park Na-rae Shines in Disney+ Show 'War of Destiny 49' Amid Controversy
Yoo Ye-ji from TenAsia delves into the future of the entertainment industry and its impact.
First released on the 11th, 'War of Destiny 49' is a survival variety show featuring 49 individuals known for predicting human fate, including shamans, tarot masters, physiognomists, and fortune tellers.
In the first episode, Park Na-rae appeared in a golden off-shoulder outfit and delivered 37 lines, showing the most active reactions among the judges. In her first appearance, she greeted, "I'm here with excitement and joy. Everyone, please give me goosebumps. I look forward to it."
During the process where shamans, tarot masters, and others interpreted the fate of the deceased, Park Na-rae reacted continuously with comments like "Oh?" "Oh, really?" "I think they might get it right" "That side often gets it right because they said they can see it" "Oh, wait, I got goosebumps" "Oh, but this sound is giving me chills" "Oh, my head hurts".
With the judges consisting of five members, Lee Ho-sun and Kang Ji-young, who are not professional entertainers, had relatively fewer reactions. In this structure, Park Na-rae's individual shots were used more frequently.
Even after the participants' interpretations ended, she commented, "Oh, there seem to be many shamans" "Almost done" "Very detailed" "Oh, what should I do, oh, I got goosebumps..." "What should I do" "Oh... wow" "I really got chills" "Oh, what's going on" "Ha, what should I do" "Wow, oh, it seems right" "Oh, I'm right, right" "Right, right, right, what should I do, oh..." "Amazing, amazing" "Well, then..." "If there's not much time left, it can be predicted like this".
Park Na-rae is currently at the center of controversy due to allegations of mistreating her manager. Some speculated that her screen time on 'War of Destiny 49' might be adjusted. However, in the broadcast, Park Na-rae played a central role alongside Jeon Hyun-moo.
Before her debut, Park Na-rae appeared as a fake shaman on SBS's 'Truth Game' and is known for her interest in fortune-telling and horoscopes. This background seems relevant to her role in the program.
With only five judges, Park Na-rae's presence naturally stands out. However, given the ongoing allegations and legal battles surrounding her, the production team's editing choices and balance will likely influence viewer reactions. The development of 'War of Destiny 49' is drawing attention.
