Blackpink Songwriter Accuses Label of Pressuring Her to Have Abortion
Rebecca Bloom, a songwriter known for her work with Blackpink, has publicly accused her former agency of pressuring her to terminate a pregnancy. The allegations, which surfaced earlier this week, have sparked widespread discussion about artist rights and reproductive autonomy within the K-pop industry.
Bloom detailed the alleged incident in a series of posts, claiming the label insisted on an abortion when she became pregnant. She stated that she felt coerced and unsupported during a vulnerable time. The claims have quickly gained traction online, prompting reactions from fans and industry observers alike.
According to reports from Maeil Gyeongje and Nate, Bloom alleges that everyone within the agency was complicit in the pressure campaign. She further claimed that the situation was incredibly isolating and damaging.
The songwriter, who has contributed to several popular K-pop tracks, previously worked in South Korea and has now brought the issue to light. Newsis reported that Bloom described feeling trapped and unsupported by the agency.
Newsen added that Bloom revealed she was told to have an abortion when she became pregnant, a revelation that has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world.
The Asia Artist Awards took place on December 6, 2025, at Kaohsiung National Stadium, celebrating the best in Korean entertainment. While the awards show itself was a celebration of talent, this allegation casts a shadow over the industry, raising questions about the treatment of artists and the pressures they face. The incident underscores the necessitate for greater transparency and protection for performers within the K-pop system.
