She also talked about plastic surgery in a recent post.

Recently, Park Bom announced that she would be suing Yang Hyun Suk for a substantial amount of money.
The idol’s agency, D-Nation Entertainment, addressed the claims in two statements as netizens reacted to the news.
Park Bom’s Agency Releases New Statement Regarding Her Lawsuit Against Yang Hyun Suk
Amidst this, netizens have also discussed the idol’s known treatment under YG Entertainment, specifically regarding her visual appearance.
While they were still active, 2NE1 admitted to being called names by Yang Hyun Suk on many occasions. Specifically, CL revealed that he called them “ugly,” even sharing that he asked her to get plastic surgery before her debut.
YG came to a concert rehearsal once. When we do a rehearsal, we don’t put on any makeup. He looked from afar into the screen and said “Ah… They are really ugly.” In front of all the staff! I was a bit disappointed.

As a result of the criticism, it was assumed that Park Bom had undergone cosmetic procedures, based on comments like these, which she has now implied in a now-deleted post.
A netizen shared an image of Bom from early in her career, expressing surprise over her changed visuals. The now-viral tweet currently has over four million views.

I looked at her Instagram and wondered what her face looked like before it changed…
Yang Hyun-suk, that crazy bastard…

Reactions to the tweet ranged, with many coming to Bom’s defense, saying that comparisons were unnecessary and would not help the situation. Many also discussed the unfair comments that 2NE1 faced during their time under YG.

Can you please stop longing for Park Bom’s pre-surgery face?
The more you feel sorry for her, the more my unnie keeps missing her past self and gets more surgery again — and then you’ll look at her old photos again and start fussing over when she looked prettiest.
Please, just leave my unnie alone.— OP

You know how bad Yang Hyun Suk’s looks‑gaslighting toward 2NE1 was?
One time, the four of them were rehearsing for an outdoor performance with no makeup on, and he grabbed a mic and said, ‘Wow, you all look so ugly~,’ acting like that.
All kinds of fansites for 2NE1 and other idols were filming, too.
When I think about how he was probably like that to them since they were minors, I seriously just want to kill him.— OP
