On March 3, 2NE1’s Park Bom posted a handwritten statement on social media accusing others of framing her to hide fellow member Sandara Park’s alleged drug use.

The singer explained that she wanted to “share the truth,” and says she uses Adderall for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, stressing that it is not a narcotic.

Park Bom stated, “Sandara was caught in a drug case and, to cover it up, made me look like a drug addict.” She urged former label executives, including Yang Hyun-suk and Teddy, to stop saying she exceeded her prescription, and noted she has not taken the medication in nearly three decades.

These claims refer to a 2010 incident where authorities investigated Park Bom for importing Adderall into South Korea without clearance. Prosecutors dropped the case, confirming she had a prescription..

The statement drew strong reactions, with some fans expressing support for Park by citing her struggles with mental health and the pressures of fame, while others questioned her motives and the timing of her claims, reviving old concerns about the scrutiny K-pop idols face and how scandals affect their careers.

After the post circulated, a close associate attributed Park Bom’s message to her unstable health, while Sandara’s team dismissed the accusations as “groundless”; this controversy continues to spark debate among 2NE1 fans and brings renewed attention to the situation as well.
