2NE1 Dara threatens legal action (+ Park Bom drama)

[RussianRoulette]

As I’ve been reporting on the last 2 Kpop news roundups, 2NE1’s Dara is currently in hot water after admitting in a video that at 19 she lied about her age and dated a 14 year old. She got broken up with when the 14 yr old found out her real age.

Fans have also been bringing up past instances where she made weird comments towards minors, such as admitting to having a crush on WINNER’s Minho when he was still a minor.

In the last news roundups Dara’s team removed the part of the YouTube video where she admitted to dating the 14 yr old and said it was due to “cultural differences”.

That has now been updated and they are threatening legal action against anyone who brings it up:
​

Some parts of this episode have been re-edited to avoid potential misunderstandings that may arise due to cultural differences.
We kindly ask you to refrain from spreading unfounded speculations, misinterpretations, or malicious comments about the artist based on the video content.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and take appropriate legal action against any attempts to defame the artist’s reputation."​

Dara is not the only 2NE1 member in hot water right now. Park Bom is currently being criticized online for opening an Instagram account where she was posting edits of herself (in lingerie) and actor Lee Minho and calling him her husband?

The fan edit account was proven to be her since they were never before seen pictures of her. She also followed the account on her main account and changed her main account profile picture to Lee Minho as well.

Her company released the statement:​

In the case of SNS, it is the artist’s personal space, so it is difficult to confirm. However, based on the previous incident, we understand that it happened because she is a fan of Lee Min Ho.​

"Cultural differences" if she felt the need to lie and the kid broke up with her as soon as he found out, sounds like every party knew this was not a cultural norm

She can't even use the good 'ole k-pop excuse of "cultural differences". Everyone thinks it's weird and gross except her (and maybe Minzy).

Bom's whole stanning scandal is just uncomfortable to watch and gives secondhand embarrassment. Kinda like when Lizzo was making edits of herself and Chris Evans married and was sending them to him as well.

A lot of Black Jacks have been trying to argue that age gap relationships are common in the Philippines so “Dara did nothing wrong”, this is where the “Cultural Differences” argument is stemming from, but as you said since the kid broke up with her as soon as he found out he obviously was not comfortable with her.

Lizzo did what?

I know some celebrities will like fan edits and stuff in a lighthearted way just because they find it funny, if she was just doing that I think it would have been fine? But starting a whole fan page herself, what was she thinking???
