Recently,Park Bom, a member of the renowned K-pop group 2NE1, has found herself embroiled in controversy due to her recurring erratic behavior, leading to significant discontent among her fanbase.
On February 15th, the 2NE1 Gallery Fan Union released an official statement, making a strong demand for Park Bom to be removed from all 2NE1 activities. The fan union stated,
We officially request that Park Bom be excluded from 2NE1 activities.
The fan union listed several reasons for their demand, pointing to Park Bom’s continuous social media controversies, a perceived lack of dedication during recent tour performances, and stage conduct that they deemed unconvincing. They argued that these issues have negatively impacted the group’s image and cannot be excused by health concerns.
Such behavior has reached a point that can no longer be tolerated. While one mistake may be forgiven, repeated erratic actions amount to a serious betrayal of 2NE1 members and the fans who have waited for over 10 years. Park Bom’s impulsive actions, which show no regard for others, have significantly damaged the team’s reputation.
The fan union further described Park Bom’s behavior as a “time bomb” and a “nuisance,” expressing their deep frustration with the ongoing situation.
Social Media “Love Scandal” Sparks Fan Discontent
One of the recent incidents that fueled fan dissatisfaction was Park Bom’s repeated social media posts referring to actor Lee Min Ho as her “husband.” She also shared photos related to this claim, triggering what some fans have termed a “self-made love scandal.” When an international fan inquired about the reality of her claims, Park Bom reportedly responded with “yes.” Further adding to the controversy, when asked about the deletion of these posts, she replied “Company—,” which many fans interpreted as a dismissive reaction to the criticism.
While Park Bom’s agency clarified that these interactions were merely playful banter with fans, a significant portion of the fanbase has expressed concerns that go beyond simple criticism.
Addressing this issue, the Fan Union commented,
Park Bom’s repeated impulsive actions on social media, particularly involving an actor, have escalated beyond control. We also apologize to the actor and their fans who have been affected by Park Bom’s actions.
Concert Behavior Under Scrutiny
The 2NE1 Fan Union also raised concerns about Park Bom’s conduct during the group’s recent concerts. They highlighted instances where she allegedly left performances prematurely and displayed what they considered unconvincing behavior, supposedly citing health reasons. Additionally, they criticized her apparent excessive focus on her physical appearance and a perceived lack of enthusiasm on stage.
She frequently leaves in the middle of performances and engages in unconvincing actions under the guise of health reasons. Her focus solely on her appearance and lack of passion on stage have caused disappointment among fans both in Korea and abroad.
These points of contention have led the fan union to firmly request Park Bom’s exclusion from future group activities.
Whether due to health reasons or anything else, continuing with Park Bom, who is not fully committed, would cause significant harm to the team. Therefore, we officially request that Park Bom be excluded from all future 2NE1 activities.
Full Statement from 2NE1 Gallery Fan Union
The 2NE1 Gallery Fan Union released their complete official statement, outlining their stance in detail:
We, the 2NE1 Gallery Fan Union, have determined that we can no longer overlook Park Bom’s repeated social media controversies, lack of sincerity during the tour, and poor stage behavior. Therefore, we officially request her exclusion from 2NE1 activities.
While one mistake may be forgivable, repeated impulsive actions amount to a betrayal of 2NE1 members and the fans who have waited for over 10 years. Park Bom’s behavior, which shows a lack of consideration for others, has severely damaged the team’s reputation. Like a ticking time bomb, her actions have become unbearable, leaving fans disappointed and causing harm to those around her.
At concerts, her lack of sincerity—walking off mid-performance and displaying unconvincing behavior under the pretext of health issues—along with her excessive focus on appearance and lack of passion on stage, have led to a loss of trust and disappointment among fans in Korea and abroad.
Above all, her repeated impulsive actions on social media, particularly involving actors, have spiraled out of control. We also apologize to the actor and their fans who have been affected by Park Bom’s actions.
Regardless of whether her actions stem from health issues or other reasons, allowing Park Bom to remain in 2NE1 when she is not fully committed will cause immense harm to the team. Therefore, we officially request that Park Bom be excluded from all future 2NE1 activities.
This fan action comes after 2NE1 celebrated their 15th anniversary and held a full-group concert in October, their first in over a decade. The group has been touring Asia, including stops in Korea, Japan, and Singapore, and are scheduled for a encore concert ‘2025 2NE1 CONCERT WELCOME BACK ENCORE IN SEOUL’ on April 12th and 13th at the KSPO Dome in Seoul.
