Fans Worried For Park Bom’s Health After YouTuber Posts Video ‘Explaining' Reason For Her Weight Gain

On October 21, Korean singer Park Bom, 38, who was from Korean girl group 2NE1, performed live at a music festival in the Philippines. Pictures and videos from the festival were quickly posted online by those at the event.

However, a number of fans have since left comments where they expressed worry about the singer’s health.

Park Bom shared about her weight loss journey on Instagram last year.

Earlier last year, Park Bom revealed that she’d lost 11kg after going on a diet in preparation for her new release. In her post, she shared that she initially found it hard to lose weight, as a side effect of her medication for her attention deficit disorder (ADD) was weight gain.

Then, on October 24, a few days after the music festival, YouTuber and former reporter Lee Jin Ho posted a video about Park Bom on his channel, where he ‘explained' the reason for her weight gain.

According to the YouTuber, he had spoken to a former YG Entertainment employee, who shed more light on the situation. Park Bom was signed to YG Entertainment for over 10 years.

The employee shared that Park Bom often acted impulsively, and that it was “hard to control her eating habits”.

“When Park Bom was stressed, she’d binge eat, so it was difficult to control her weight,” the employee said.

Jin Ho then ended his video by expressing his concern, wondering if Park Bom has felt stressed in the past few months.

Park Bom’s current agency, D-Nation, has since released a statement, reassuring everyone that the singer is doing fine.

In their statement, they shared that Park Bom is not experiencing any health issues, and that she merely gained some weight while she was not promoting her music.
