South Korean girl group '2NE1' member Park Bom unexpectedly released a handwritten long post on the 3rd, revisiting the shocking 2010 drug controversy in the Korean entertainment industry. She also claimed that teammate Dara was involved in drug use, naming then-YG Entertainment head Yang Hyun-suk and teammate CL for perjury to cover it up, further portraying her as the drug user. The post immediately set Korean internet abuzz.
In the post, Park Bom tried to overturn the previous 'Adderall incident.' She was previously investigated for mailing prescription drugs containing amphetamines from the US to Korea, but was not prosecuted as the use was deemed medical. Now, however, she claims there was 'another inside story' to the whole scandal, even hinting that the incident was used to cover for others.
The explosive revelations spread rapidly. Korean media quickly reached out to Dara's company for confirmation. The company responded that Dara's contract had expired and that they were 'unable to confirm this matter.' Later, Korean media outlet Xports News interviewed people close to Dara, who firmly denied the drug rumor as "completely untrue," and revealed that Dara was actually more concerned about Park Bom's health.
As for Park Bom's management company, they stated that the post was related to her current emotional instability and urged the public to be understanding, indirectly denying the claims. In a dramatic turn, the post was deleted only about three hours after being published, leaving the public both shocked and concerned.
