Park Bom opens up about her treatment in YG Entertainment, including mocking her appearance, plastic surgeries, not giving her credit for writing songs, rejecting over 4,200 commercial offers and more:
"They said they made my appearance look like a freak, just to mock me. YG never once paid for my cosmetic surgery. The few procedures I had were all paid for out of my own pocket.
They used me as example to mock people who had plastic surgeries. Even when I went to dermatology clinics, I paid for everything myself.
I wrote all of their songs. They locked me up and made me write every song, except for one. But they never paid me, and even if you search the credits, my name isn't there.
I gave my all for singing, but it never paid off. I was never once allowed to do a magazine photoshoot.
They also used my family. They saw that my aunt was good at cooking, so a this woman from YG went to learn from my aunt's cooking teacher, while calling my family poor and pitiful.
In total, I was offered 4,231 commercial offers, but they were all given to someone else."
