Park Bom of 2NE1 has directly denied her agency’s explanation that she is taking time off due to health issues, adding another twist to the ongoing dispute.
Park wrote on social media Saturday, “I’ve always been completely fine. Don’t worry, everyone.” The post was an edited version of a message she uploaded a day earlier that included the hashtag #parkbomelizabeth along with recent photos.
The update drew attention as it came around two weeks after she publicly criticized Yang Hyun-suk, chief producer of YG Entertainment.
On Oct. 22, Park said she planned to file charges of fraud and embezzlement against Yang and YG Entertainment. She claimed revenue from both 2NE1 and her solo activities had not been properly settled and that no transparent record had been provided.
Her current agency, D-Nation Entertainment, responded that accounting for 2NE1 activities had already been completed and said Park had “halted all activities to focus on treatment and recovery.”
Park rejected that explanation and continued raising complaints about her former label, saying YG never paid for plastic surgery, that she wrote many songs during her time there and that “about 4,000 commercial offers came in but were given to someone else.”
After those posts, D-Nation said Park was “emotionally unstable” and needed rest and treatment. Park, however, countered that account by insisting she is fine.
Fans remain divided over Park’s series of statements.
