Park Bom Leaving 'Roommate'

[coldhives.livejournal.com]

2NE1 member Park Bom will be leaving the variety show “Roommate.”

On July 24, Baek Jung Ryeol of SBS’s “Roommate” revealed that “Park Bom’s last appearance will be on July 27. She didn’t participate in the filming, so there was nothing for us to film of her. It is true that she is leaving the show.”

News of Park Bom being investigated for smuggling drugs resurfaced this past June. Although the investigation happened four years ago, the scandal erupted and caused more questions and controversy around Park Bom. Despite YG CEO Yang Hyun Suk trying to clarify the situation, people have been curious as to whether or not Park Bom would still appear in “Roommate.”

Baek Jung Ryeol added “There are no plans to have Park Bom participate any further. There were no discussions about it. We edited Park Bom out of many parts in the upcoming episode. All of this is because it is a legal controversy.”

This was supposed to be 2ne1's year. Maybe not 2009 great, but at least 2010 good.

Wut

Then why didn't they just say that in the first place, were they just testing the waters? I feel bad if Bom isn't leaving out of her own will because there isn't really any legal controversy, the case was closed.

I think it was just decided (by Bom), before I guess she wanted to skip an episode, but now she doesn't want to do it anymore. Probably scared. ):

dayum this sucks. i was happy a yg artist was doing tv stuff and now this.

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

i feel bad for her :/ i hope she is doing okay.

[empyrealmaiden.livejournal.com]

Nuuu. Damn they done her dirty.

Hope she's doing okay. The fallout from this "scandal" is so ott

[sugarcages.livejournal.com]

OTT is exactly the term for it.

[mangotae.livejournal.com]

damn. i was hoping it wouldn't come to that, but i saw it coming from a mile away. that really sucks, it was giving me a chance to warm up to her, see her in a light that wasn't 2ne1 or the whole yg-gansta facade

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

I've always thought she never fit in with 2NE1 (her and Dara kind of but it seems like Dara is trying lol) and it made me like her in an ironic way I suppose

[fifi-moon.livejournal.com]

another reason to detest the way kentertainment industry works

[twinedays.livejournal.com]

i liteally went ken-tertainment in my head and my first thought was barbie?

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

not surprised at all really but that sucks and I feel bad for her

[zuluuluz.livejournal.com]

your icon is perfection omg

[coteo.livejournal.com]

;-;

I'm not really surprised though, I figured the whole "leaving for a little while" thing was bs. But I'm still so sad. She's half the reason I'm even watching roommate.

mte :(

[ridzithenerd.livejournal.com]

wtf noooooo ugh i hate everything rn. i hope she's doing okay :(

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

SIGH. Well...I made it through 8 episodes, that's not bad. But if the person I came for isn't gonna be there, I don't have to force myself to catch up anymore. Even though I've grown to like Nana a lot from this show, hearing that she's become timid and being thrown into some love thing by the PD's just makes it even sadder to watch.

BTW, have they gone further with those loveline things?

[canxi.livejournal.com]

No, lovelines really. Se Ho likes to flirt with Nana from time to time and she will play along. I honestly think he does like her and Nana is just like..."nah...but I'm gonna be nice", lol.
Has she become timid? I think she's the same. Just over-worrying about what people think of her. She talks about it sometimes during quiet moments and it's sad but she's still perky!

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I am still side eyeing SBS for their scandal editing and releasing her footage via the Internet instead of airing it. They also use Minwoo to create drama via editing since he gets along with everyone which I don't like. Forcing Nana into a loveline with Seho is also disgusting.

Clearly this was coming based on the edits even though there is NO legal case.

I'm not here for it anyway because 2 hours is too long without Bom and it'll be canceled for KpopStar

Hope they all keep in touch

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

The first thing you said about Minwoo....that's the reason why I couldn't watch episode 9. I think that episode is when the whole thing with Kangjoon and his friend went on...? I usually don't read everyone's comments before watching the show, but that time I did and everyone was talking about how awkward and uncomfortable it was, so I didn't watch because I thought he got along pretty well with everyone.

[pepper.livejournal.com]

Well fuck. I hope she's okay.

[sugarcages.livejournal.com]

God, I remember when it first came out that Bom was gonna be on this show. A lot of the comments from knetz were that they were gonna watch it for her. I can't believe she is being crucified so harshly for this. I hope she's okay.

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

not surprised. :(
now what will happen with 2NE1 after this whole mess?
YG's new gg is gonna start coming soon, i guess...

[nurii.livejournal.com]

more reason for yg to put 2ne1 in the basement for good. :'(

[canxi.livejournal.com]

:(

[sheisagentleman.livejournal.com]

i'm pretty sure that a lot of people that watched roommate did it for bom, so yeah this show is going to flop even faster :-| I'm not a fan of 2ne1 but from the couple of roommate eps I liked Bom a lot, she seems so sweet. I hope it gets better for her <3

[bebita19.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOO!

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Not surprised, but still pissed about it. She seemed like she was having fun, and it seemed like everyone was getting along well

[midnightindomie.livejournal.com]

They didn't kick her out though, she just stopped showing up? Probably something lost in translation. This is sad, I really liked her character.. But I'm only in it for Park Chanyeol so eh whatever

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Before they said it was fine for her to be on the show...and then edited it so her individual stuff was taken out and scandal news stuff was kept in

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

It angers me that all these articles are using the "drug smuggling" phrasing just to be sensationalist. If Park Bom is a drug smuggler, then so am I.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Well I think that's what the legal term for it is in Korean as well (one thing to appreciate here is that legal terms don't have certain connotations to them), but I see what you mean. Regardless it should be put as "alleged" or at least mention that the case was dropped due to evidence and precedent.

[cooliosa.livejournal.com]

noooooo she was the only reason i even watched the show

[21banged.livejournal.com]

negl this is me right now I have no idea how to handle this

[zuluuluz.livejournal.com]

i just saw this and wtf she is literally the only reason i was going to watch the show smh

[kitty9163.livejournal.com]

/long and heavy sigh
The ratings already going down fast and now this...
I'm more worried about her right now, hope she's okay and even if the show is over or get cancelled i hope she can still keep in touch with the cast.

[prlsb4swiine.livejournal.com]

ot but omg i love your icon
