Following a post by 2NE1 member Park Bom that sparked controversy in the music industry by targeting her fellow group member Sandara Park, she has drawn attention by publicly sharing a handwritten letter praising her bandmates about a month later.

On the 17th, Park Bom posted a lengthy handwritten letter on her Instagram, stating, "Please treat the drug discussion as if it never happened." She began the letter with, "The weather has really improved now, and there is something I must say. I am writing this as if it is my final message to everyone."

First, Park Bom highly praised leader CL, calling her "the god of performance" and adding, "She can improvise everything—arrangements, expressions, and every detail."

She also referred to CL as "a rapper and a friend from France, Tokyo, and Korea," stating, "Lee Chaerin (CL's real name) is an incredibly cool person. She makes everything cool. Even when she moves her hands, it looks cool. She oversees everything that becomes cool."

Regarding the youngest member, Gong Minji, Park Bom said, "She is the goddess of dance." She added, "Gong Minji, widely known as the granddaughter of Gong Ok-jin, a national treasure of Korea, is incredibly proud to see her up close. It seems she has inherited that talent."

She continued, "Even while performing on stage, I always smile when I see Minji because I am so proud. People don't realize this. Even abroad, if they show her, they think she's the best. Her attitude suddenly changes."

Notably, Park Bom changed her tone toward Sandara Park, whom she had publicly criticized in the past, now referring to her as "the Philippine Princess."

Park Bom praised Sandara Park, saying, "She is such a devoted fan that she even watches 'Human Theater' on schedule. I thought she looked like actress Kang Soo-yeon when she debuted."

Park Bom further highlighted Sandara Park's charm, stating, "Within the team, she maintains harmony and handles the fresh vocals. She always greets people with a smile. When she sings with me, the main vocalist of the group, the synergy creates such a beautiful voice."

She added, "Everyone works hard, but even as an older sister, she doesn't mind feeling embarrassed in front of the younger members and still listens to them. She is a hardworking person who doesn't care about such things. I know everything. She is smart. She plays a role like a manager."

Explaining why she shared the handwritten letter, Park Bom said, "I don't know how difficult and reluctant I felt while writing this. I wrote it on another piece of paper, feeling cringey and screaming." She continued, "That's because it's not my style. However, this story is truly one we've wanted to tell for 20 years. It's 100% a real story."

She then expressed, "Thank you for raising us after bringing us together so difficultly. Thank you so much for raising us in Korea. I wanted to convey my feelings, so I stayed and wrote this letter." She also added, "I wrote this because I hope the drug discussion is treated as if it never happened. It's such a pity that the four of us met—it's a miracle. We have significant age differences, and it's an unbelievable situation, so I wrote this letter. You all raised us with great care, and I am so grateful." The post has since been deleted.

Meanwhile, Park Bom sparked controversy last month by posting an exposé-style article on the 3rd.

At that time, she directly mentioned Sandara Park, claiming, "Park Sandara was caught using drugs, and to cover it up, she made Park Bom look like a drug user."

She appealed, "At that time, there was no Adderall in the country, and the law didn't exist. Interestingly, the law was created after Park Bom. Internet users, please investigate exactly as it happened."

In response, Sandara Park refuted Park Bom's claims, stating, "I have never used drugs. I hope she is healthy," and unfollowed Park Bom on Instagram.

Park Bom also targeted YG Entertainment's CEO Yang Hyun-suk, main producer Teddy, and 2NE1 leader CL.

She concluded with, "Finally, I want to say this: Please do not report to the country that Park Bom used more than the prescribed amount of a drug that YG Entertainment, Yang Hyun-suk, Teddy Park (Teddy), and Lee Chaerin (CL) have not used at all in nearly 30 years." She added, "I wrote this because it feels like my soul is crying."

Adderall is a psychotropic medication containing amphetamine. Earlier, Park Bom became embroiled in controversy when it was revealed in 2014 that she had internationally shipped Adderall from the United States to South Korea in October 2010. At the time, her agency YG Entertainment explained that the medication was imported for therapeutic purposes, and the Prosecution Service decided not to file charges considering the circumstances.
