Dispatch Klarifikasi Kasus Narkoba Bom 2NE1




Kapanlagi.com - Meski YG Entertainment telah mengeluarkan pernyataan resmi terkait kasus narkoba Bom 2NE1, publik sepertinya masih ingin mengetahui lebih jauh. Mereka masih bertanya-tanya mengapa sang idol bisa lolos dari dakwaan meski terbukti mengimpor afetamin yang merupakan salah satu obat ilegal.


Media Dispatch turut mengungkap lebih dalam kasus member 2NE1 itu melalui kolom tanya jawab. Dilansir Allkpop, berikut rangkuman sesi tanya jawab mengenai kasus yang sedang ramai dibahas ini.



Apakah Bom mengirim obat itu ke alamat neneknya untuk menghindari kecurigaan 
Alasan Bom mengirim ke alamat neneknya karena dia jarang ada di rumah, ibunya juga sering berpergian. Karena alasan itu, dia mengirim ke alamat rumah neneknya agar paketnya sampai tepat waktu.




Bagaimana langkah investigasi kasus ini dan hasilnya 
Jaksa melakukan penyelidikan mengenai asal obat dan tujuannya. Setelah satu minggu, mereka menanyai nenek Bom dan pergi ke rumah ibu Bom untuk mencari obat tersebut. Dari 82 pil hanya 3-4 yang dikonsumsi dalam satu minggu, yang mana tidak bisa diartikan sebagai penyalahgunaan obat.




Bukankah penutupan kasus ini terasa sebagai perlakukan khusus 
Meski seseorang menggunakan narkotika, jika dia menggunakan dengan tujuan yang jelas dan merupakan dakwaan pertamanya, ada kemungkinan akan diberikan kebebasan. Karena Bom memiliki resep dari Amerika dan menggunakannya untuk pengobatannya, ada kemungkinan diberikan keringanan dan bukan perlakukan khusus.




Adakah kasus lain yang juga dibebaskan seperti Bom 
Seorang pria pernah memesan bubuk akar yang memiliki kandungan narkotik. Pasalnya sang ayah mendengar jika bubuk akar itu bisa membantu penyembuhan putranya. Setelah memeriksa tidak ada kandungan narkoba di tubuh sang anak dan pria itu terbukti tidak ada kandungan narkoba di obat tersebut, dia dibebaskan dari dakwaan.

Bom 2NE1 Ungkap Alasan Berhenti Syuting ROOMMATE



Kapanlagi.com - Kasus dugaan penyelundupan narkoba yang dilakukan oleh Park Bom hingga kini masih belum menemukan titik terang. Publik Korea Selatan masih ramai membicarakannya karena tak hanya soal narkoba, Park Bom diduga juga melakukan pemalsuan umur.


Pasca munculnya kasus tersebut, status Park Bom dalam salah salah satu reality show-nya, ROOMMATE, mulai dipertanyakan. Saat itu, belum jelas apakah personel 2NE1 ini akan melanjutkan reality show tersebut atau tidak.


Namun kini tampaknya Park Bom sendiri yang mengungkap kepastian tersebut. Lewat agensinya, YG Entertainment, Bom mengatakan tak memiliki kepercayaan diri untuk tampil dalam acara tersebut.

 "Aku minta maaf atas semua kontroversi yang kusebabkan. Aku merasa kacau, aku tak punya kepercayaan diri untuk melanjutkan syuting ROOMMATE.


Perwakilan dari pihak ROOMMATE membenarkan pernyataan tersebut. Meski demikian, Park Bom akan tetap tampil dalam beberapa episode ke depan, yang pengambilan adegannya sudah selesai dilaksanakan.


Padahal sebelumnya, pihak SBS menyatakan pada StarNews bahwa Bom akan tetap bergabung dalam Roommates karena sudah terbukti tidak bersalah dan kasus narkobanya telah ditutup. Hal ini tentunya disayangkan para penggemar ROOMMATE dan para Blackjack.

[Spoilers] Lee Kwang Soo gets embarrassed by a suggestive face on 'Running Man'



Lee Kwang Soo became flustered after an embarrassing photo of his face became the hot topic on this week's 'Running Man'!

The latest episode involved a 'photo zone' mission where the cast and guests would have to jump into a specified frame in order to successfully pass. Unfortunately for the 'giraffe', one of the captured photos showed him pulling a distinctively suggestive face behind A Pink's Bomi!

"What is Kwang Soo feeling??" Gary asked after seeing the unfortunate photo.

"I wasn't feeling anything!" Kwang Soo said, defending himself. However, the truth was that he was focusing on Bomi so he could rip off her name tag as part of a secret mission! Unfortunately, as he couldn't tell that to the members, he had no choice but to take the blame.

Yang Hyun Suk releases a letter to fans and the public offering an explanation on Park Bom's incident 4 years ago




It's been a crazy morning or night for both fans as well as those over at the YG Entertainment headquarters with the outbreak of the news regarding Park Bom's incident almost 4 years ago. 

As mentioned previously, it suddenly came to light that Bom had tried to receive a drug that is illegal in Korea through international mail before it was caught by customs, an act that was defined as smuggling. Although she was cleared by the prosecution almost 4 years back, the news was still a shocking one and many had voiced their opinions about the matter.

YG Entertainment had said they were planning to release an official statement through the press, but it seems they have decided to address fans and the public through a personal letter from Yang Hyun Suk instead.

Check out what he has to say below. 




Hello, this is Yang Hyun Suk..


I wanted to explain about the report of misunderstanding that had suddenly spread yesterday night.


Why is this being explained through Yang Hyun Suk's letter and not as an official YG statement?


To be accurate, the content in the article was something that happened 4 years ago, and something that I was first told of then when Park Bom's parents came to us and told us that they had been investigated, and also about a shocking incident Bom had experienced in the past and her medical history. So until then, all of YG as well as the 2NE1 members had no knowledge of this.


That's why I thought that rather than to have YG, which doesn't really know the situation, release an official statement, it is better for me, who directly heard of all this [from Bom's parents], to tell you about it.


Your feelings about the article as a producer?


If you combine the training years, then the amount of time I've been with 2NE1 is 9 years.


The 2NE1 members I have watched over for 9 years do not smoke... do not drink much... and seems to me to have never once gone out to hang out at a club besides for official events.


At least from what I know, that's how it is... and also because I've never heard of rumors of that sort from those around me.


But the Bom that I know to be this way has suddenly become overnight a 'drug smuggler' according to the title of the article.


It's absurd and shocking that I don't know what to start off saying?
Should I be explaining this absurdity? Will that end up making this situation even bigger?


It's true that these did momentarily present a concern.


However, for all the fans of 2NE1, who are currently on their world tour... for the silly and dongseng-like Bom who became a drug smuggler overnight, I thought that I couldn't just sit back and watch.


What is the truth?


As fans already know, Park Bom spent a long time in the U.S. before 2NE1 debut, and she has said that there was a time when she dreamed of becoming a soccer player.


However, she directly witnessed a close friend dying during a game, and after that, Bom had spent difficult days as she fell into sorrow and shock that was difficult for her to handle at a young age. After that, she spent several years receiving psychological counseling and treatment and used drugs that were prescribed to her by a famous university hospital in the U.S.


After that incident, Park Bom was no longer able to continue on with soccer, and after changing her dreams to that of becoming a singer, she came to Korea and participated in the YG audition. It's a day I remember clearly.
The reason that I remember Park Bom among the numerous audition contestants is because as soon as I saw her, she had boldly stated, "If it's not YG, I'm not going to be a singer."


Although she didn't pass that audition, she came again the year after that and she didn't make it again, but in her third year, she qualified in first place among the thousands that had participated, so I think that is why Park Bom remains clear in my memory.


The reason why I am talking about these seemingly irrelevant matters is that considering that I did not know that she played soccer or about her medical history until her father told me 4 years ago, even though it's been 11 years since I first saw Bom, and that she's never brought this up to her members, it seems clear that this is a painful memory that Bom doesn't want to bring back.


Up until 4 years ago, Bom had been using the medication that she had been formally prescribed by the university hospital in the U.S., but because she could not go to the States due to her busy schedule, in the process of receiving the medication from her mom and grandmother, it had become a problem because it is a medication that is prohibited in Korea.


But luckily, her medical record over the past several years and her prescription from the university hospital were received and submitted during the investigation, so it was an event that was safely and soundly wrapped up with every evidence being provided.


It's said [the drug] has narcotic properties, did they know of this?


In common sense, what mother and grandmother would go get their daughter and grandmother narcotics?


Especially in a world like today when most medications need prescriptions, how many people know of what kind of properties a medication has?


Like I mentioned through my appearance on 'Healing Camp' before, I have to carry around a sedative and take it on a daily basis because of my panic attacks, but I am not curious about what properties make up that medication and even if someone told me, I wouldn't understand very well.


In the case of Bom, she only knew that the medication she took in the States was not available in Korea. It doesn't seem she understood that it was a medication that was prohibited in Korea.


After realizing this after the investigation 4 years ago, from what I know, she has been using another medication prescribed by a university hospital in Korea.


Because they've been busy with their world tour, I haven't seen Park Bom in a while either, but I ran into her when I came out of the office to record last night and saw her shed tears throughout the night because of the articles coming out. After seeing her this way, I feel torn that it has come to a situation where I have to explain a past that Bom does not want to reveal.


I want to wrap up my words as I apologize for bringing about worry to many of you. I will greet you again with happy news soon. Thank you.


2014.07.01


Yang Hyun Suk

[Updated] 2NE1's Park Bom revealed to have attempted to smuggle drugs + YGE preparing to release a statement



2NE1's Park Bom has been belatedly revealed to have tried to smuggle drugs into Korea. According to an exclusive report by Segye Ilbo (2), Park Bom used international mail in an attempt to smuggle narcotic amphetamines into Korea back in 2010. However, it has been revealed that the prosecutors (back in 2010) decided to suspend her case, meaning they would neither investigate nor punish her for the crime. This news has left many wondering why she was let off so easily and whether it was due to her celebrity status.

According to prosecutors on the 30th, Park Bom was caught back on October 12, 2010, trying to use international mail (Fedex) to smuggle 82 pills of amphetamines from the United States, but it was caught by customs at the Incheon International Airport.

Although the drug is used for medical treatment purposes in some countries, in other countries it is heavily regulated or sometimes outright banned. It is a strong central nerve system stimulant, and because it can cause a lot of harm to the body when abused, its use is banned by a Presidential decree in Korea and some other countries. Because its chemical structure is similar to methamphetamine, it is usually considered as methamphetamine when sentences are being dealt out in the country.

She was originally caught by customs, and it was reported to the Incheon District Prosecutors. The pills were scheduled to be delivered to the address of a relative and the package recipient was in the name of Park Bom's relative. The prosecution discovered the package was meant for Park Bom after investigations at the receiving address. The case was officially registered on October 19th. However, 42 days later on November 30th, the prosecutors decided to suspend the case. Case suspensions for cases where there is a charge, but there is no need to book the case. When cases are booked, a suspected person's status changes to a criminal suspect. It's the first time that the prosecutors have given such an indulgence to a for drug related crimes. Park Bom avoided all punishment because of this, and many are wondering why they decided to just let her go. 

A prosecutor with experience in drug investigations said, "Even if it is their first time, amphetamine smugglers are held and investigated by rule, and I cannot understand what the logic behind not even booking her case was.There are cases where drug criminals are first booked and then the cases are suspended, but I've never heard of a case where it wasn't even registered."

Segye Ilbo tried to contact Prosecutor Shin, who was in charge of the case, but he was unable to be contacted. He has since left the Incheon Prosecutor Office.

Update 1: A rep from YG Entertainment stated, "We're checking the truth". 
Update 2: YG Entertainment has revealed that they are preparing an official statement at the moment to release soon.
Update 3: A few media outlets have mentioned that one of the reasons that Bom was most likely cleared or given a case suspension by the prosecution is because she had a prescription for it in the States. Netizens are looking to YG Entertainment's statements to get a clear idea of what had exactly happened and what was the exact reason for why she was given the clear as the drug is still considered illegal in Korea. The agency says they were working on their statement, but that they've experienced delays in preparing it so that it may come a bit later than expected. 
Update 4: 2NE1's activities as promotional ambassadors for a campaign for the Ministry of Justice in 2010 are being questioned by media outlets, who wonder whether this may have played a role in why Bom's case was closed or suspended by the prosecution, raising questions about favoritism. 'Roommate' was also asked about whether the revelation of this past incident would play a role in Bom's appearance in the show, and a rep responded, "We held an emergency meeting after the staff learned about Bom's news... We are currently sorting out our position on the matter... There is nothing that can be said at the moment. We are currently talking it over."

Update 5: Instead of a statement from YG, Yang Hyun Suk has personally written a letter to explain what exactly happened and offer an apology for causing concern. Read it in the latest article here.
