Park Bom health concerns have forced a halt to her participation in 2NE1’s upcoming activities, her agency confirmed on Wednesday.
D-Nation Entertainment said Park Bom will not take part in the group’s future schedule. The decision came after doctors recommended full rest and recovery for her well-being. The agency stressed that it had carefully discussed the matter before announcing her withdrawal.
Park Bom health worries have grown in recent months. Fans noted her increasingly filtered social media images and unusual online posts. One included an unverified claim that she is dating actor Lee Min-ho. These instances added to public concern about her condition.
Most notably, Park Bom canceled a scheduled appearance at the Waterbomb Busan festival on July 26. That cancellation raised eyebrows in the K-pop industry. Last-minute schedule changes are uncommon due to the tight control of event planning.
Despite recent concerns, Park Bom still joined a group performance just days ago. She appeared with 2NE1 during the halftime show at a friendly football match. The event featured Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United FC at Seoul World Cup Stadium. It marked a rare full-group performance for fans, although it may be the last for some time.
According to D-Nation, the company hopes fans will continue supporting the other members. Sandara Park, CL, and Minzy plan to maintain their schedules and represent 2NE1. The label added that they will do their best to fill Park Bom’s absence.
In the meantime, Park Bom will focus solely on her health. No specific medical details were released. However, the emphasis on rest and stability indicates the situation may require extended recovery time.
As 2NE1 moves forward, fans worldwide are sending well-wishes. Support for Park Bom remains strong across social media, with hashtags trending globally.
Park Bom health updates will be shared once she is ready to return. For now, the spotlight turns to her recovery and the remaining trio’s continued efforts.
