On October 23, an insider revealed to OSEN that “Yang Hyun-suk did not feel bitterness or anger after seeing Park Bom’s post. Instead, he was deeply worried, especially about his health condition.”
Just a day earlier, Park Bom had shocked fans and industry insiders by uploading part of a legal complaint image, titled “Defendant Yang Hyun-suk,” to his SNS, accusing him of fraud and embezzlement. He claimed he never received legitimate payments for his work through music, broadcast, entertainment and endorsements during his time with 2NE1stating that the amount owed could exceed KRW 6,427 billion. The document’s strangely inflated figure and informal tone have led many to question the credibility of its claim.
Under pressure, Park Bom quickly deleted the post, but the backlash had already begun. His agency D-Nation Entertainment released a statement saying: “No such lawsuit has been filed and all settlements are relative 2NE1 have already been completed.“They admitted:”We are unable to control his actions at this time”, and pointed out that Park Bom is currently undergoing treatment and taking a complete break from activities.
Most recently, late October 23, he shared a post containing three pages of written notes. In them, she accused YG Entertainment of mocking her appearance and not giving her proper credits for the song. The idol also said that despite working hard, she only managed to break even. She also claimed that she had been denied offers due to cystic fibrosis and that YG Entertainment has “used” her and her family in various ways over the years.
They said they made my appearance look stupid, just to make fun of me. Come to think of it, YG never paid for my cosmetic surgery. The few procedures I have had were all paid for out of pocket. In other words, I stood on stage looking like a normal person.
One day, suddenly, on the stairs, they apologized to me. When I asked why, they said they had used me as a joke for plastic surgery discussions. Looking back, they never did anything for me. Even when I went to dermatology clinics, I paid for everything myself.
I wrote all YG’s songs. They locked me up and made me write everything except one song. But they never paid me and even if you search the credits you won’t find my name.
This comes against a backdrop of growing concern over Park Bom’s erratic behavior on social media. In recent months, she has made headlines for repeatedly calling actor Lee Min-ho her “husband” in posts, and later withdrew from 2NE1 reunion tour due to health issues recommended by his doctors.
Born in 1984, Park Bom debuted in 2009 as the lead singer of 2NE1standing out for his powerful voice and emotional tone. However, her career was ruined in 2014 when it was revealed that she had been caught smuggling amphetamine, a drug classified as a controlled substance in Korea, which she claimed had been prescribed in the United States for medical treatment.
Despite his recent return for 2NE1 Fifteenth anniversary reunion tour, his increasingly unstable actions have sparked concern among fans and professionals alike.
Yang Hyun-suk’s calm response – choosing concern over confrontation – adds another layer to this ongoing public saga. As the story develops, the focus is shifting from the legal conflict to mental health and industry responsibility.
