In what economists are calling “ambitious, but fiscally unhinged,” former 2NE1 member Park Bom has filed a lawsuit against YG Entertainment demanding $4.5 quadrillion in damages – a sum exceeding South Korea’s entire gross domestic product and possibly the collective worth of planet Earth.
The singer accuses her former label of “fraud, embezzlement, and bad vibes,” alleging that years of withheld royalties and emotional turmoil merit compensation “adjusted for cosmic inflation.” YG Entertainment responded by reportedly checking under the couch cushions before declaring, “We’ll get back to you.”
Financial experts say if Bom somehow wins, the payout could collapse the global economy, but “might still not cover K-pop hair dye expenses.” Meanwhile, fans have launched a GoFundMe titled “Save Korea’s Banking System (and Park Bom).”
As of press time, the IMF has not ruled out “joining the fandom.”
