A few years ago, BLINKs suspected that there was some tension between BLACKPINK members Rosé and Lisa, as the two appeared distant during some of their concerts while on tour. Thankfully, whatever the issue was, it was eventually resolved, and the members went on to show their love for one another for the remainder of the tour.
The alleged “cold war”, as described by fans, has left many wondering if such a thing has happened with other K-pop groups. The latest group to be affected by these speculations is apparently 2NE1 (투애니원) after fans began noticing how one member is sometimes absent from group photos. Here’s the story:
2NE1 has been touring Asia for their “Welcome Back” tour. However, halfway through the tour, fans noticed that member Park Bom (박봄) would sometimes disappear backstage after the first half of the concerts. While some speculated that this could be due to her health issues, rumours are now circulating that the other members are growing frustrated with her not completing the shows recently.
One netizen posted a recent group photo of 2NE1 without Park Bom, highlighting that she was also absent during an Instagram Live session. The fan expressed disappointment at seeing that the members no longer appeared to spend as much time together as they once did. A TikTok user also posted a video that seemingly highlighted the contrast between how the girls behaved at the start of the tour and how they are now, specifically leader CL and Park Bom.
These developments led to speculation among fans that something may have happened behind the scenes between the 2NE1 members. However, many argued that the girls still love and support each other. Some suggested that Park Bom might have been resting after each show, which would explain her absence from some group photos. Others claimed that the singers have always acted like siblings and would occasionally get annoyed with one another.
If this is true then there should be nothing to worry about. As the leader, CL has always taken care of her members, making sure that they were all enjoying themselves during concerts and would never force them to do anything they didn’t want to do. What do you think about this issue? Is there really bad blood between the members or were some fans just overreacting?
Here’s the video that had some people concerned:
