YG Entertainment said they will take legal action against vicious rumor spreaders after 2NE1’s Park Bom, Minzy, and Dara were recently involved in false drug scandals.

The false rumors first started spreading after E-Sens of Supreme Team was arrested for smoking marijuana a couple days ago. Shortly after his arrest, Korean press reported there was a black list of star celebrities who smoked pot in Korea and it would be made public soon. One of the names rumored to be on that list was Park Bom, and later the rumor grew into include other 2NE1 members too, as it quickly spread through Twitter and Facebook.

“Park Bom has absolutely nothing to do with that list. It’s completely false so we just didn’t pay any attention to the rumors. But people started taking it as the truth and so we decided to address the issue with harsh legal measures,” YGE said.

“The initial rumor-spreader is currently being investigated by the Korean cyber police. We will also file a defamation lawsuit against some of the Korean press that falsely reported on this without enough fact-checking,” YGE added.

Meanwhile, YGE has passed screening to go public on the KOSDAQ (Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotations), a trading board of Korea’s stock market, and is expected to be listed by later this month. However, following recent drug scandals involving some of its top artists, YGE’s initial public offering is expected drop nearly 10%.

Someone's really on YGE's case, especially now that they've qualified for KOSDAQ. Threatened much? About time YG made a concrete stand.

I don't even care if they do drugs or not, idols have the right to do their own thing in their own discretion. It's just pretty sketchy that they would always single out on YG artists when it could happen to anyone, why always someone from their company? Not being coherent here but I'm just appalled by how shameless these detractors/haters get.

for a country that isn't as litigious as the US, i'm surprised that they can actually find legal recourse for this issue. i love 2ne1, but i feel like it's not even worth it. all i see is big company going after small (perhaps) individuals...

it seems to be quite a negligible issue for us international fans but i think k-bjs are massively upset with the issue although they're keeping a cool front.

Take those bitches out. There's obviously someone out to get YG, maybe a cheap buy? I mean YG will get back up so it would make sense. I think. I suck at stuff involving the Stock Market.

What's all this legal action talk? If they didn't do it, they didn't do it. 2NE1 is a popular group, they are going to have false rumors about them spread about. It's sad truth of being a public figure. Just release a statement and move one. Getting all defensive makes it look all the more suspect.

YG has always been pretty cool about rumors. there were a shit load of false rumors about his artists in the past - spread not just by netizens, but by actual korean news sites like Newsen, Dispatch and Sports Seoul (who have anti-YG reporters) ...and YHS ignored them all.

the reason it matters now, and why they feel like legal action is needed is most likely because their stock value has been decreasing.

I would LMFAO if it turned out to be true in the end, they are paying too much attention to this rumors, why don't they just ignore them? maybe YG is scared because they can't be really sure after what happened with GD..

I'm replying you because you have sayanee profile picture (I had the urge to said shuddup Ami though, because I just like Bom, or 2NE1 in general, and this that this rumor is ridiculous)
like someone above me said, YG has been pretty cool before, maybe that's why netizen keeps attacking them and all, plus Tablo is in YG now and you know what netizen has done to him.

tbh YGE has been taking hit after hit after hit this year so... I'm not surprised that now YHS is taking a stand and covering his bases. He's been incredibly cool about the other stuff before, but something's gotta give, you know? Plus this time it's baseless rumours.

Not sure what to believe in this but I'm sure behind YG on taking that bitch down for having no concrete proof.

I'm glad YG is suing. You can't just go on and write that some celeb (and naming him/her in the article clearly) has been doing criminal activities without any evidence. Pretty much every celeb in my country (who hasn't been smoking pot) would sue too if some Finnish news reporter would write these kinds of lies about them. And smoking pot while illegal, is much less frowned on here compared to Asia.

Interesting that ppl are thinking that it may be someone trying to sabotage YG now that he's entering the market. I had never thought of that.
I think it is a good idea to sue. Even though a lot of these things may start out as rumours, sometimes they get wayy out of hand and people start to take them as the truth. And when you finally start to take an offensive stance, it's already too late because that tiny rumour has blown out of proportion.(ex. Tablo) I don't think YG would care if it wasn't about weed. But this is liking pouring gasoline into the flames of the GD scandal.

I'm not a huge Bom fan and duncurr if she does smoke but I do think there's something to all these theories.
Someone's definitely out to get YG imo.

Suing definitely isn't the way to go though, I just think YG has to be a hell of a lot more careful and not give anyone any room to even point a finger at them.
