When news broke in late June that there had been an issue with 2NE1 member Park Bom and a shipment of prescription pills she allegedly received several years ago, that seemed to be all anyone could talk about for the following weeks.

But now that July has ended, here is a look at three other issues that arose and gave K-Pop fans cause for concern.

Sulli goes on hiatus from f(x)

SM Entertainment's popular dance-pop girl group f(x) made a comeback on July 3 with the track "Red Light" and instantly dominated the music charts.  So, a couple weeks later, when member Sulli announced she would be taking a leave of absence from the group, fans were shocked.

After the official announcement was made by the group's agency, it was confirmed that Sulli's choice was prompted by health issues and negative attention from anti-fans.

With Sulli out for the foreseeable future, fans are now concerned that f(x)'s disbandment is not far off.

Idols get hacked on social media

Unfortunately for many K-Pop celebrities, with fame often comes an extreme invasion of privacy.  Sasaeng (stalker) fans have routinely created problems for a lof of idols, and some Super Junior and EXO members are the latest victims.

Super Junior member Donghae was forced to delete his original Instagram account after it was hacked.  He took to Twitter to express his disappointment and frustration, drawing attention to the rampant problem affecting many other SM Entertainment artists.

Although Donghae has since regained control of his original account, the issue once again ignited the discussion about how much privacy stars are entitled to and how extreme fans can ruin things for everyone.

JYJ criticized by fans for misogyny

Despite the current popularity and success of their most recent single "Back Seat," many JYJ fans are not pleased about the message expressed in the song's lyrics.

Female fans from around the world have called the group out through various social media platforms saying the song uses language that is sexually coercive.  With lines like "let your feelings go, you don't have to fight, don't be shy, put you on my back seat," it is easy to see why.

While plenty of fans are supportive of the group and their comeback, the topic is on the table for discussion, and getting involved also requires a hard look at the underlying themes of misogyny in pop music as a whole.
