2NE1’s Park Bom has announced a temporary break from her schedules to prioritize her physical and mental well-being. This decision comes after recent criticism regarding her behavior during 2NE1’s final tour dates in Macao, where fans noticed her reduced energy levels compared to other members.
Park Bom’s representative addressed the concerns in a statement to StarNews, clarifying that her perceived lack of energy was due to physical exhaustion and not a lack of effort.
“She tends to exert a lot of energy in the early stages, which causes her to tire out as the performance goes on. Unfortunately, many of the videos that sparked controversy only highlighted her struggling moments in the latter half. She tried her best, but her stamina couldn’t keep up.” — Park Bom’s representative
The controversy escalated when Bom was absent from a post-show livestream, further fueling speculation about her condition. Her representative emphasized that the issue was purely physical and not intentional.
Park Bom’s Hiatus and Future Plans
Park Bom will take a break from all activities until 2NE1’s upcoming Welcome Back encore concerts in Seoul on April 12 and 13. During this time, she plans to focus on improving her stamina and managing her mental health.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions to the news. While many are supportive of her decision to prioritize her health, others have voiced concerns about her recent controversies, including her social media posts about actor Lee Minho.
“Bom’s health comes first. We’ll wait for her to come back stronger.”
“I hope she takes this time to recharge and come back better than ever.”
Addressing Recent Controversies
Park Bom has faced criticism not only for her concert behavior but also for her recent social media activity. Fans have debated her posts about Lee Minho, with some calling them inappropriate. However, her team has not addressed these specific concerns, focusing instead on her health and upcoming performances.
What’s Next for Park Bom?
As Park Bom takes this much-needed break, fans are hopeful for her return at the Welcome Back encore concerts. The group’s Seoul performances are highly anticipated, and fans are eager to see all members, including Bom, back on stage together.
