Park Bom is taking a break from 2NE1’s group activities to focus on her health, her agency D-Nation Entertainment confirmed on 6 August. The decision follows medical advice recommending that Bom prioritise rest and stability after recent concerns over her physical and emotional condition.
The announcement comes just months after Bom reunited with fellow members CL, Sandara Park, and Minzy for the Welcome Back Tour—their first official comeback as a full group since disbanding in 2016. Their surprise reunion for 2NE1’s 15th debut anniversary sparked massive excitement, with highlights including a special encore of 'Welcome Back' at Seoul’s KSPO Dome in April.

In the meantime, CL, Dara, and Minzy will continue 2NE1’s scheduled appearances, including their upcoming aprreances at WATERBOMB Bali and WATERBOMB Singapore 2025. The trio is expected to carry on group promotions while offering their full support to Bom.
