Park Bom Deletes Legal Complaint Against YG Entertainment's Yang Hyun-suk from Social Media
On the 23rd, a check of Park Bom's social media showed that the post containing the legal complaint and a photo of her dog with red lipstick had been deleted.
Earlier that day, Park Bom had posted a legal complaint naming Yang Hyun-suk as the defendant. She stated, "The defendant has not paid the earnings that should have been rightfully given to the plaintiff for a long time. I demand a thorough investigation and legal punishment. The defendant has not properly paid the earnings from music releases, performances, broadcasts, advertisements, events, songwriting, and composing that the plaintiff participated in," adding an astronomical figure to the claim.
Park Bom also claimed, "YG did not provide a settlement statement, causing severe financial loss and mental damage. This is a clear act of fraud and embezzlement."
Additionally, Park Bom posted a photo of her dog with red lipstick, captioning it "Thanks, lipstick."
As the situation escalated, Park Bom's agency, D-Nation, stated on their official social media, "The settlement related to Park Bom's 2NE1 activities has already been completed, and the legal complaint uploaded on social media was never filed." They added, "Park Bom has halted all activities to focus on treatment and recovery. We will do our best to help the artist regain her health."
Meanwhile, Park Bom is currently on a hiatus from her activities with 2NE1. The agency previously announced that Park Bom would be stepping back from activities, stating, "After receiving medical advice for sufficient rest and stability, we have made this decision after deep discussions. We ask for the warm encouragement of fans for Park Bom's recovery."
Park Bom has not been active since performing with 2NE1 at the halftime show of the friendly match between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United FC at Seoul World Cup Stadium on August 3rd.
