Termination of Exclusive Contract and a Break for Health Recovery

Park Bom's recent move coincides with the recent settlement of her relationship with her agency and her health issues. On the 5th of last month, her former agency, D-Nation Entertainment, announced the termination of her exclusive contract. At the time, the agency explained, "Park Bom has been focusing on her health recovery," and "We decided to finalize the contract out of respect for her future career direction."

Park Bom has been focusing on rest after temporarily suspending her activities since August last year due to health reasons. D-Nation added that at the time of the contract termination, Park Bom was in a very emotionally unstable state, and due to difficulties in communication, she was in a situation where treatment and rest for recovery were desperately needed.

At that time, D-Nation Entertainment released a position stating, "The settlement related to Park Bom's 2NE1 activities has already been completed, and no such complaint uploaded to SNS has been filed."

Communication with fans through social media also continued. Park Bom previously experienced a minor incident when she posted a message mentioning actor Lee Min-ho.
