Three members of iconic K-pop group 2NE1 have reunited, drawing attention from fans—though one key member was notably absent.
On May 3, Sandara Park shared a photo on social media with the caption “I ♥ 2NE1,” showing herself alongside fellow members CL and Minzy. The trio appeared in coordinated stage outfits, showcasing their enduring bond and sparking nostalgia among fans.
However, Park Bom was absent from the reunion. The singer is currently on hiatus due to health concerns, which has kept her away from recent activities.
Fans quickly reacted to the reunion photo, expressing both excitement and longing. Online comments ranged from joy at seeing the members together again to concern over Park Bom’s absence, with many hoping for a full-group reunion in the future.
Park Bom has also been at the center of recent controversy. In March, she posted a handwritten message on social media making unverified claims involving Sandara Park and alleged drug use. She referenced her past prescription of Adderall, stating it was for her condition and not illegal drug use, while also making allegations about her fellow member.
In response, Sandara Park denied the claims, stating she had never used drugs and expressing hope for Park Bom’s well-being. The situation briefly escalated, fueling rumors of conflict between the members, before Park Bom later retracted her statement and asked for the issue to be put to rest.
Despite the tensions, the recent reunion photo suggests that bonds within 2NE1 remain meaningful. The group, which debuted in 2009 with the hit single “Lollipop,” continues to hold a lasting legacy in K-pop history.
