2NE1 / Captured from Sandara Park's social media
Sandara Park’s latest social media post celebrating 2NE1 is drawing attention not only because of nostalgia, as fans notice a missing member.
On May 3, Sandara Park uploaded two selfies featuring fellow members CL and Minzy, captioned "I ♥ 2NE1." The trio posed closely together, showcasing coordinated black-and-white outfits accented with bold silver accessories, a style long associated with the group’s signature image.
Park wore a black vest paired with a white skirt, creating a refined look, while CL opted for a white shirt with black detailing that added a chic edge. Minzy, sporting a short blonde hairstyle, completed the trio’s striking visual with a black-and-white ensemble highlighting her individuality.

While the photos captured a warm, friendly moment among the three members, fans quickly pointed out the absence of Park Bom. Park Bom has paused activities due to health concerns, but her absence has taken on added significance amid ongoing online speculation about her relationship with Sandara Park.
The post comes after reports that the two singers had unfollowed each other on social media, fueling rumors of a possible rift. Neither side has publicly addressed the speculation. In March, Park Bom accused Sandara Park of drug use, an allegation firmly denied by the latter.
2NE1, one of K-pop’s most influential girl groups of the late 2000s and early 2010s, officially disbanded in 2016 but has continued to generate strong nostalgia-driven interest among global fans. The group has recently reconnected with audiences in various forms, currently appearing as a three-member lineup with CL, Minzy and Sandara Park.
