Recently, 2NE1’s Park Bom, who had raised concerns among fans due to health rumors, made a confident return on Son Heung-min’s farewell stage. She confirmed her presence with unwavering live vocals and a strong performance, once again receiving cheers from fans.
Park Bom appeared with her 2NE1 members during the halftime performance of the ‘2025 Coupang Play Series’ match between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United on the 3rd at Seoul World Cup Stadium. This performance marked Son Heung-min’s farewell match as captain of Tottenham, drawing attention from an audience of approximately 60,000 spectators.
2NE1 heightened the atmosphere by performing hits like ‘Fire,’ ‘I Don’t Care,’ and ‘I Am the Best’ in succession. In particular, Park Bom, who recently missed the ‘Water Bomb Busan 2025’ stage due to poor condition, gathered further attention by appearing.
Park Bom took the stage in a striking style, donning a black leather mini dress with stud accents, platform shoes, and oversized sunglasses. Midway through, she removed her sunglasses, engaging more closely with the audience to deliver an immersive performance. Her distinctive tone, unwavering high notes, and stable live performance remained intact, reinforcing her presence on stage.
Earlier, her agency D-Nation Entertainment stated that Park Bom was unable to partake in ‘Water Bomb Busan’ due to poor condition. Some fans expressed concern by speculating about health issues. The rare announcement not to perform on the day of the stage fueled interest in Park Bom’s health status and potential future activities.
Recently, Park Bom was embroiled in a ‘filter controversy’ due to excessive photo editing on SNS and was linked to self-reported romantic rumors with actor Lee Min-ho, leading to various issues bringing her name into the spotlight. Against such a backdrop, her full-stage performance transcended a simple return to the stage to become a symbolic scene.
Although not as active as CL, Sandara Park, and Gong Minzy, Park Bom captivated the audience with stable stage manners and a sincere performance. The full reunion stage as 2NE1 held great significance for fans, signaling Park Bom’s active participation in team activities once again.
2NE1 is set to appear on the ‘Water Bomb Bali 2025’ stage this September, drawing attention to whether Park Bom will participate. Expectations are high for Park Bom’s future activities following her stage return overcoming the condition controversy.
