BOM asserted that she is an ADD patient, providing context for the controversy.
The relationship between the two is being scrutinized anew as members of 2NE1.
On the 3rd, Sandara Park's associates clarified through multiple media outlets that BOM's references to past drug controversies are unfounded. An insider stated, "Sandara is concerned about BOM's current health condition." The remarks came after BOM's social media post where she declared herself an ADD patient, claiming that the medication she was prescribed led to the drug controversy. In 2010, it was revealed that BOM imported Adderall, containing amphetamines, from the U.S. in 2014, leading to legal scrutiny, after which the authorities confirmed the medication's therapeutic purpose and opted for a non-prosecution measure. Amid this, claims surfaced stating, "Sandara was involved in a cover-up, making BOM the scapegoat for her drug issues," sparking public interest. BOM has been active alongside Sandara, Minzy, and CL as part of the girl group 2NE1.
This incident highlights the scrutiny on the relationships and past experiences of group members. 2NE1 holds a significant place in K-POP history, and fans are often drawn to the artists' personal and intricate tales. The alleged conflict between BOM and Sandara Park illustrates a complex blend of unity and discord within the group. Concerns arise about how this controversy might impact fan perceptions. BOM's decision to reignite discussions around her prescription medication highlights the lasting echoes of her past, suggesting a convoluted journey toward artist image rehabilitation, and indicating that public scrutiny still focuses on their lives.
