Park Bom doubles down on accusations against YG entertainment after $4.5 quadrillion lawsuit drama

Park Bom has made a series of serious allegations against her former agency, YG Entertainment, through a set of emotional Instagram posts on October 23.

The K-pop singer shared handwritten notes describing years of mistreatment, claiming that staff members mocked her appearance and that she was never paid for her work.

In one note, she wrote, “They made my appearance terrible. They were mocking me. Thinking about it, YG never paid for any plastic surgeries I had. One or two were done with my own money. In other words, I went on stage looking like a commoner.”

She further alleged that the company offered no real support during her career, adding, “Someone apologised to me on the stairs. When I asked why, they said they had ‘sold’ me by making plastic surgery a topic.”

Park also claimed she had written “almost all of 2NE1’s songs” without receiving credit or payment. “They locked me up and made me write every song, except for one. But they never paid me, and even if you search the credits, my name isn't there,” she wrote. She also alleged that she was denied more than 4,200 commercial offers and magazine opportunities.

Her posts came a day after she uploaded what appeared to be a legal complaint and a lawsuit against YG Entertainment founder Yang Hyun-suk, demanding an extraordinary ₩64,272,000,000,000,000 — around $4.5 quadrillion — in damages.

D-Nation, Park's current agency, later clarified that the complaint was not genuine, stating that “all settlements related to her 2NE1 activities have already been completed.”
