CL shares 2NE1 group video amid controversy surrounding Park Bom.
CL has publicly shown support for Park Bom by sharing a video of all 2NE1 members together, despite ongoing controversy surrounding Park Bom.
On February 25, CL uploaded a video to her Instagram Story showing all four members of 2NE1—CL, Minzy, Dara, and Park Bom—seated together inside an airplane, smiling and waving at the camera.
The post garnered significant attention, as previous photos and videos from 2NE1’s Asia tour, shared by CL and Dara, had often excluded Park Bom.
Park Bom has been at the center of multiple controversies during the 2NE1 Asia Tour, including criticism over a “self-created dating rumor” and lackluster stage performances. Some fans have even released statements calling for her exclusion from the group’s activities.
The dating rumors involved actor Lee Min Ho, whom Park Bom had repeatedly referred to as her “husband” on social media. However, Lee Min Ho’s agency denied any personal connection between the two, leading to confusion and backlash. Despite this, Park Bom continued to mention him on her alternate accounts, further fueling the speculation.
On February 19, Park Bom reignited the controversy by posting, “Hello everyone, I have been working hard, and everything I wrote was true. 2NE1 is doing well, thank you for your support.” However, just a day later, she retracted her previous claims, posting, “I am actually alone. Lee Min Ho asked me to post that, but I am single. Have a nice day.” This post was later deleted.
Given the ongoing situation, CL’s decision to upload a 2NE1 group video including Park Bom appears to be a deliberate gesture to reaffirm their bond as a group. Fans are now speculating whether Park Bom will address the controversiesor improve her performance during the upcoming encore concerts in Seoul on April 12 and 13 at Olympic Park KSPO Dome.
Despite the controversies, 2NE1’s reunion tour has been progressing successfully across Asia, marking a significant comeback for the legendary K-pop group.
