The agency of Park Bom issued a clarification that the Korean singer did not file fraud and embezzlement lawsuit against former label YG Entertainment, which continues to handle Bom’s girl group 2NE1.
The incident stems from a now-deleted post by Bom about a complaint draft accusing YG co-founder Yang Hyun-suk of failing to pay her activity profits stemming from “music releases, concerts, broadcasts, advertisements, events, lyric writing, and composing.”
The complaint indicated that the unpaid settlements amounted to 642 trillion won, equal to $448.8 billion or P26 trillion.
Bom’s current label D Nation Entertainment released a statement clarifying the artist did not receive any payments from YG nor does the latter agency owe Bom any money.
“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,” D Nation said.
D Nation ended by reiterating Bom is currently not involved in activities as she’s focused on treatment and recovery, and the label will do what it can to assist in Bom’s health.
Last year, 2NE1 – composed of Bom, Sandara Park, CL, and Minzy – reunited for its “Welcome Back” tour in celebration of the group’s 15th anniversary, marking 2NE1’s first headliner tour in a decade.
The tour ran until last April and included a two-night Philippine stop last December, however, last August Bom stepped away from further activities due to medical concerns.
Bom was notably missing for portions of the first “Welcome Back” concert at the Philippine Arena because of wardrobe malfunctions and was unable to finish the second night because of health-related issues.
