In the early hours of the 23rd, Park Bom took to her social media to post two photos of a dog with what appears to be lipstick on its mouth, captioning them with "Thanks for Park Bom lipstick."
Park Bom's social media activity has been raising eyebrows. She shared a legal document naming Yang Hyun-suk as the defendant, stating, "Park Bom hates YG. Dear internet users, please investigate what YG has done to Park Bom. Thank you."
The document lists 'Plaintiff Park Bom' and 'Defendant Yang Hyun-suk,' with Park Bom alleging that "the defendant has not paid the earnings due to the plaintiff for an extended period, and I demand a thorough investigation and legal action."
She further claims that "the defendant failed to pay rightful earnings from music releases, performances, broadcasts, advertisements, events, songwriting, and composing," citing astronomical figures.
Park Bom also accuses YG of not providing financial statements, leading to severe economic and mental distress, labeling it as clear fraud and embezzlement.
On the previous day, the 22nd, Park Bom posted a similar message but deleted it. The initial post had a partially obscured phone number, but the recent one revealed eight digits, causing concern among fans. Comments included "Please hide your number," "Take it down," and "This is heartbreaking." Park Bom has previously drawn attention for self-generated dating rumors and heavily edited selfies, and her recent actions continue to stir public interest.
Meanwhile, Park Bom has been on a hiatus from 2NE1 activities. Her agency announced her break, stating, "After receiving medical advice for sufficient rest and stability, we have made this decision after deep discussions. We ask for fans' warm encouragement for Park Bom's recovery."
Park Bom last performed with 2NE1 during the halftime show at a friendly match between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United FC at Seoul's Sangam World Cup Stadium on August 3rd, and has not been active since.
