“You’ve got scammer types around you…” — Kian84’s past advice to Park Na-rae is gaining attention after her home robbery.

TV personality Park Na-rae is currently at the center of a theft investigation after discovering that millions of won worth of valuables were stolen from her home in Itaewon, Seoul. The incident occurred on April 7, and she reported it to police the following day.

Due to the sudden situation, Park canceled her scheduled appearance on MBC Radio Standard FM’s “Son Tae-jin’s Trot Radio.”

Police are now focusing on the possibility of an inside job, as there were no signs of forced entry at the scene. The suspicion of someone close being involved has led to a resurfacing of a chilling warning from webtoon artist and entertainer Kian84.

Kian84’s Old Advice Gains New Meaning

In an episode of Kian84’s YouTube channel “Life84” aired in July last year, Park Na-rae appeared as a guest and shared that she enjoys having people over and throws at least one party a week at her home.

While praising her generosity, Kian84 offered a cautious warning, saying:

“Na-rae loves cooking and taking care of others. She’s very giving, so she has a lot of people around her. But the problem is… you trust people too easily. Honestly, I think there are a few scammer-types in your circle.”

When Park asked who he meant, Kian84 didn’t name names but replied:

“There are a few. People who always talk about how much money they have, or brag about what they do — those are the ones you need to be careful of.”

Now, following the real-life theft incident, fans are revisiting that moment, calling Kian84’s words “prophetic” and expressing admiration for his instincts. Comments on the video include:

“Kian84 really has a good read on people.”

“Was he already suspicious of someone?”

“This feels like a fortune teller moment.”

“Their friendship is so genuine.”

The House That Made Headlines

The robbery took place at the property Park purchased in 2021 for 5.5 billion KRW (~$4 million USD) through auction. The house, located in the upscale Itaewon area, gained public attention after being featured on MBC’s reality show I Live Alone.

As the police continue their investigation, public attention remains high — not only due to the high-profile nature of the case, but also because of the lingering question: Was Kian84 right all along?
