K-Pop singer Park Bom set off a whirlwind of confusion and speculation after appearing to accuse the founder of her former record label of withholding her earnings.
In a since-deleted post shared on Wednesday (Oct. 22), 2NE1 member Park Bom claimed to have filed a lawsuit against YG Entertainment’s founder Yang Hyun Suk over alleged unpaid earnings.
The so-called complaint claimed that Yang “failed to duly pay the profits generated from all activities” that Park participated in, such as “music releases, concerts, broadcasts, advertisements, events, lyric writing, and composing,” with an alleged unpaid settlement of 1002003004006007001000034 ‘64272e trillion won, or $4.5 quadrillion.
“Park Bom hates YG,” Park captioned her post. “Dear beloved citizens who use the internet, please look thoroughly into what YG did to Park Bom. Thank you.”
Following the viral post, AllKpop reported that Park’s agency D-Nation Entertainment told the outlet, “Park Bom is out of our control as well. We are currently looking into the details of her lawsuit against Yang Hyun Suk.”
However, the following day D-Nation released an official statement denying that any such lawsuit had been filed.
“All settlements related to Park Bom’s 2NE1 activities have already been completed, and there is no record that the complaint uploaded to social media was ever filed,” the agency stated, per Soompi.
Park debuted under YG Entertainment in 2009 as part of 2NE1, one of the most influential and defining girl groups of K-Pop’s second generation. YG, which also created mega acts like BIGBANG and later Blackpink, helped propel 2NE1 to global fame with hits such as “I Am the Best,” “I Love You,” and “Come Back Home.”
The group was disbanded in 2017 but reunited in 2022 for a headline-making surprise Coachella performance of their hit “I Am the Best.”
In July 2024, YG Entertainment announced that 2NE1 would reunite for a 15th anniversary concert tour, and during their November concert in Jakarta, Park Bom told fans, “I hope we can come back, next year again, with a new album.”
However, in the following months, Park Bom struggled with health issues that led her to miss several scheduled performances, including a headlining slot at the Head in the Clouds Festival in Los Angeles in June 2025.
By August, her agency D-Nation confirmed she would suspend all future 2NE1 activities to focus on her recovery.
