Back in 2010, Park Bom was caught using international mail to smuggle narcotic amphetamines. The former 2NE1 member claimed she wanted to use the drug for the treatment of her depression. Despite all the suspicion behind her drug scandal, the prosecutor decided to suspend her case, meaning they would neither investigate nor punish her for the crime.
The ruling fired up another controversy on YG Entertainment's abuse of power and celebrity "special treatment".
Many still question why Park Bom was not properly penalized for the use and smuggling of the illegal drug.
'PD Note' will be diving further into the case on their April 24 episode.
