My Daily reported that before talking about how people reacted online to her leaving, an agency representative confirmed that Park's contract with Ghost Studio had ended and both sides had agreed to end it. The relationship started in June 2015 when she signed with Sim Entertainment, the agency's predecessor. It lasted through the agency's name change.

Before going into detail about her career, the outlet said that Park first became known for her role in the drama Yong Pal. She then went on to star in well-known works like "Age of Youth," "Introverted Boss," "Saimdang, Light's Diary," and the movie "Samjin Company English TOEIC Class."

A Naver article talked about earlier reactions to the school violence claims, which came to light in 2021 when people posted on an online community accusing Park of being violent at school. Before that, the article talked about the timeline of the controversy. At the time, her agency strongly denied the claims, calling them "false information" and hinting at legal action.

Before talking more about her career prospects, some comments on Naver forums showed that people had mixed feelings about Park's future. One person said, "I hope she finds peace and returns to what she loves," while another wrote, "The controversy will always follow her."
