2NE1 made headlines after performing in Los Angeles without member Park Bom, raising eyebrows among fans and sparking speculation about the group’s direction.
On June 3 (KST), 2NE1 performed at a festival in Los Angeles, but fans quickly noticed that only CL, Sandara Park, and Gong Minzy appeared on stage.
Park Bom’s absence surprised many, especially since she had posted “Park Bom in LA” on social media as recently as May 21 — confirming she was in the same city as the performance.
This left fans confused and concerned, wondering why Park Bom didn’t join the group despite being nearby. No official explanation has been given yet.
Meanwhile, the three members who did perform shared concert photos on their personal Instagram accounts.
- CL wrote, “Thank you LA.”
- Sandara Park posted, “Thank you Los Angeles, thank you Blackjacks.”
- Minzy added, “Ain’t never gonna stop.”
All three posted the same group photo, showing themselves confidently on stage and performing together — standing strong as a trio.
The post comes shortly after the group wrapped up their “Welcome Back” encore concert at the KSPO DOME in Seoul Olympic Park, marking the finale of their world tour.
Fans are now wondering — was this just a one-time absence, or is 2NE1 moving forward with three members? The group has yet to release an official statement.
