There was no anger or hurt even in the late-night complaint that was made public, claiming that an astronomical sum had not been settled. Rather, Yang Hyun-suk, chief producer of YG Entertainment, was concerned about 2NE1 member Park Bom's health.
On the 22nd, Park Bom suddenly made public a "complaint" on her social media account, creating a stir. Park Bom, who has suspended activities due to health problems, unexpectedly made the complaint public, and the defendant was none other than chief producer Yang Hyun-suk.
In the complaint, Park Bom listed the charges as "fraud and embezzlement," and alleged that "the defendant did not properly pay the revenues generated from all activities in which the complainant participated, including music releases, performances, broadcasts, advertisements, events, lyric writing and composition." In particular, Park Bom estimated the unpaid amount as 1002003004006007001000034 64272e trillion billion won, drawing astonishment.
While Park Bom's side did not make any notable statements, Park Bom repeatedly deleted and reposted the complaint she had uploaded to her social media account. Such behavior, along with the complaint not matching actual formalities and the claimed unpaid amount being astronomical, raised suspicions.
The complaint has been deleted from Park Bom's social media account. Her agency said the next day on the 23rd that "the settlement related to 2NE1 activities has already been completed, and the complaint was not actually filed."
YG Entertainment did not make any notable statement, but attention was focused on the fact that a member of 2NE1, whom Yang Hyun-suk had cared about greatly regarding a reunion, had filed a complaint. Last year, 2NE1 members, marking their 15th anniversary since debut, raised expectations by releasing a full-group photo, and leader CL met with chief producer Yang Hyun-suk, during which discussions about a full-group reunion took place.
With CL's deep affection for full-group activities and the team, and the fact that she met Yang Hyun-suk of YG Entertainment where they began, 2NE1 succeeded in reuniting as a full group, stirring the music world with a world tour celebrating their 15th anniversary and their first full-group concert in about 10 years and 6 months. Yang Hyun-suk's decision and drive produced synergy with members whose love for the team was strong, leaving significant meaning in the music industry.
Because Yang Hyun-suk, the chief producer, had a special regard for 2NE1 and its members, Park Bom's sudden public release of the complaint must have been bewildering. But a senior music industry official told OSEN, "Chief producer Yang Hyun-suk had no feelings of hurt or anger upon seeing Park Bom's post; rather, he was worried. Above all, he was concerned about Park Bom's health."
Park Bom, who suspended activities due to health problems, will continue treatment. Her agency said, "Park Bom has stopped all activities and is focusing on treatment for health reasons." The late-night public release of the complaint has been settled as a brief incident.
