Netizens recall why "Park Bom’s legs" were once a hot topic in K-pop

Netizens are reminiscing about the famous "Park Bom legs" that trended during 2NE1's early debut days.

On an online forum, a screenshot of 2NE1's Park Bom during a live performance on a music program sparked discussions. Netizens were particularly amazed by her stunning legs, which were captured unedited by the program's standard cameras—often known for their unflattering angles.

Shortly after 2NE1's debut in the late 2000s and early 2010s, Park Bom became widely recognized for her "doll-like" legs. Her unique leg exercises, which helped maintain their healthy and beautiful shape, quickly became a trend during that era.

Netizens applauded her natural beauty and agreed that there was "a reason" her legs became a phenomenon. They highlighted that her legs were "not just thin" but "perfectly shaped in a healthy and stunning way."
