2NE1's Dara sparks controversy with new social media post, excluding Park Bom: "The time I spend with the members is so precious"

2NE1's Dara is currently under fire for a recent post on her Instagram.

On November 10, Dara celebrated her 40th birthday by hanging out with fellow 2NE1 members CL and Minzy. Dara posted a series of sweet photos of the three celebrating together, with the caption: "Time spent with members~ so precious😍♠️♥️".

However, the seemingly-innocuous photos sparked a wave of controversy for Dara. Netizens noted that the post was made only a few days after Park Bom's controversial return to social media following her announcement of a lawsuit against YG. With Park Bom's official hiatus from 2NE1 and current status of "emotional instability" (as stated by her agency), rumors of discord between Park Bom and the other members of 2NE1 have been swirling.

Netizens are questioning why Park Bom was not included in Dara's birthday hangout, especially due to Park Bom's post one day ago stating that she "is perfectly healthy" and telling fans not to worry about her.

Rumors of conflict between the 2NE1 members continue to emerge, with netizens questioning the continued exclusion of Park Bom from both official and unofficial 2NE1 activities, and the lack of acknowledgment from CL, Dara, and Minzy.
