In recent years, Park Bom revealed that she gained some weight, but she had lost about 11kg early last year.
At that time, Park Bom said, "Going on a diet wasn't easy, because of the medications that I was taking for ADD (attention deficit disorder). I'm so happy that I successfully managed to lose some weight. After my weight loss, I have been cutting down my medications and becoming healthier."

When people saw Park Bom at 'Popstival 2022' though, they all worriedly left comments such as, "I feel like there might be something wrong with her health, seeing her gaining weight this fast.", "She should get a check-up. I'm really worried about her.", "Are you okay? It's kind of worrying that you've gained so much weight in such a short time." and so on.
In response to the voices of concern, Park Bom's management agency D NATION gave their official response on October 24.
The agency stated, "Park Bom has no health issues. Now isn't the time when she is actively promoting her songs, hence the weight gain. She has recently started going on a diet again; she is exercising."
