In light of Park Bom’s recent drug smuggling controversy, broadcasting agency SBS has released an official statement with regards to ongoing program, “Roommate.”
On July 1st, the production team held an emergency meeting to discuss Bom’s appearance on the program, amidst the recent scandal. The production staff revealed that they don’t consider Bom’s continued appearance on the show a problem, as the case has been deferred and irrelevant to their ongoing filming. However, they will respect Bom’s decision, if she eventually chooses to depart from the show.
It was also stated that screen time and editing will likely vary on the situation.
2NE1’s Bom was in the middle of a drug smuggling scandal this week after it was revealed that she got caught bringing pills with components of narcotics through international mail back in 2010. It was later on discovered that although the case was booked, Bom wasn’t filed for the charges.
After holding an emergency meeting, YG Entertainment’s Yang Hyunsuk personally explained the situation and revealed that suffered from a personal tragedy, thus receiving psychological treatment. Proofs backing these statement also resurfaced online afterwards.
Should Bom stay in “Roommate”? What do you think of the program’s statement?
