2NE1 Celebrates 17th Anniversary as a Full Group, Overcoming Rumors of a Rift… Sandara Park Reveals a Group Photo

Sandara Park of the group 2NE1 has celebrated her 17th debut anniversary by sharing a photo of the full lineup.

Sandara Park Shares Full-Group Photo Celebrating Her 17th Anniversary On the 17th, Sandara Park posted multiple group photos featuring all members—CL, Gong Min-ji, and Park Bom—along with the message “Happy 17th anniversary” on her social media account. In the released photos, the four members matched in black leather stage outfits and took a variety of poses such as the V sign and a hand heart, showing unwavering unity. On the same day, Gong Min-ji and CL also shared the post on their respective accounts, letting fans share in the joy of 2NE1’s 17th debut anniversary.

Ending Drug Controversies and Feud Rumors Involving Park Bom Above all, this group photo is especially meaningful because it is the first time the full lineup has been shown since rumors of a rift surfaced among the members recently. Earlier, in March, Park Bom caused controversy after posting on her social media what appeared to be a message targeting Sandara Park regarding a past drug-related incident involving the alleged importation of narcotics. In response, Sandara Park strongly denied any drug use, unfollowed Park Bom’s account, and afterward, reports of conflict between the members were widely treated as a given. However, when Park Bom shared a message of reconciliation and the four members gathered again in a warm, cheerful 17th-anniversary photo, it completely dispelled the concerns and controversy that had been building.

Reunion After the 15th-Anniversary Encore Concert Last April The public and fans are showing strong reactions to 2NE1’s full-group comeback after overcoming a series of tensions. 2NE1’s last official full-group stage was the “WELCOME BACK” Seoul encore concert of the debut 15th-anniversary Asia tour, held at Seoul’s Olympic Park KSPO DOME last April. Having wrapped up their successful global tour and proved they were still going strong at the time, they overcame disbandment, reunion, and even the recent feud rumors—demonstrating that their teamwork remains solid for their 17th debut anniversary as well.
