Sandara Park, the renowned singer who rose to fame as a member of the girl group 2NE1 under YG Entertainment, recently shared a surprising incident involving the CEO of the company.

During her appearance on JTBC's 'Jjandangpo' on July 18th, Sandara Park captivated the audience with her eloquent speech and an unexpected revelation.

To the astonishment of everyone present, Sandara Park unveiled a relic from the past—a folder phone named 'Lollipop' that she had used a whopping 14 years ago.

This particular phone held great significance as it was a model associated with the success of 2NE1 during their early days.

During the discussion, Sandara Park shed light on an intriguing event involving the CEO of the agency.

She disclosed, "Back then, I had this precious phone taken away by the CEO, only to retrieve it later," and divulged, "It was due to Kwon Ji Yong (G-Dragon)."

The revelation left the audience intrigued about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Recollecting her early days of immense popularity, Sandara Park reminisced about the challenges of managing numerous calls from various individuals.

However, she amusingly shared that she did not hide this from the CEO. Sandara Park stated, "Even when men contacted me, I ignored them. I didn't reply or answer their calls."

She added a curious anecdote, mentioning that one man, feeling upset, complained to G-Dragon, saying, "Why isn't Dara noona contacting me?" This incident piqued the audience's curiosity.

Sandara Park went on to reveal G-Dragon's reaction upon hearing the story, sharing, "G-Dragon was delighted by it."

She explained, "As 2NE1 was the first girl group to emerge from YG Entertainment, our pride, when he heard that our sister had deceived such a person, he was so pleased that he spread the rumor within the company."

Eventually, the rumors mentioned by G-Dragon reached the ears of the CEO.

Amidst laughter, Sandara Park humorously recounted how the CEO misunderstood her actions, assuming she was in contact with a man during her early debut and confiscating her phone.

Consequently, she humorously stated, "I spent several months without a phone."

When fellow guest Hong Jin Kyung commented that G-Dragon must have felt sorry for the misunderstanding, Sandara Park shared her perspective, saying, "I don't think he genuinely felt sorry."

A petition pushing for stronger laws against sexual offenses involving minors, known as the "Kim Soo Hyun Prevention Law", has gained significant attention and is now on its way to the National Assembly.

The petition, titled “Proposal to raise the age for statutory rape of minors and strengthen punishment, also known as the 'Kim Soo Hyun Prevention Law'” was posted on March 31 on the National Petition page.

As of April 9, it has already gained over 54,000 signatures, surpassing the 50,000 signature requirement for it to be reviewed in the National Assembly.

The petition calls for the age limit for statutory rape of minors to be increased from the current age range of 13 to 16 years old to 13 to 19 years old, as well as for harsher punishments for offenders.

The push for this law comes after accusations that actor Kim Soo Hyun was involved with the late Kim Sae Ron, who was a minor at the time of their alleged relationship.

Due to the large number of signatures, the petition will now be reviewed by the National Assembly, where lawmakers will decide whether to bring it to a larger discussion.

Petitions that gather over 50,000 signatures within 30 days are transferred to the relevant committee, and the National Assembly has 90 days to decide if it will go to the plenary session.

Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s family has made serious allegations, claiming that Kim Soo Hyun and his former agency, Gold Medalist, were involved in her tragic death.

They say Kim Soo Hyun had a relationship with her while she was still a minor and that she endured financial pressure due to debt from her former agency.

In response, Kim Soo Hyun held a press conference on March 31, where he tearfully denied the accusations and clarified his position.

Despite his emotional plea, public opinion has largely remained unchanged. Kim Soo Hyun also announced he would be filing a defamation lawsuit against Kim Sae Ron’s family and the YouTubers involved, seeking 12 billion won in damages.

The legal and social implications of the case continue to develop, with the National Assembly now preparing to address the petition and potential legal reforms.
