2NE1 returns as full group for Cambodia concert, Park Bom rejoins after brief hiatus

2NE1 has officially reunited as a complete group, marking their first full-unit performance in three months.

On July 4, CL, Park Bom, Minzy, and Sandara Park departed for Phnom Penh, Cambodia, from Incheon International Airport. The group is set to perform on July 5 at the large-scale music concert ‘GANZBERG SUPER IDOL’, taking place at Koh Pich Theater.

This performance is especially significant as it marks the first time all four members will be on stage together since their ‘WELCOME BACK’ encore concert held at Seoul’s KSPO DOME on April 12 and 13. Last month, 2NE1 performed at ‘Head In The Clouds LA 2025’ in Los Angeles without Park Bom, who was unable to join due to personal scheduling conflicts. Her return for the Cambodia stage has generated heightened anticipation among fans.

Following media reports, Park Bom confirmed her participation by sharing two photos taken inside the plane en route to Cambodia with the caption, “On the plane from Incheon Airport.” Fans warmly welcomed the news, expressing excitement online with comments like “Finally she’s back” and “The queen has returned.”

On social media, photos and videos of the members arriving in Phnom Penh began circulating quickly. The members, escorted by security, were seen greeting fans with smiles and waves before boarding their vehicles — offering a glimpse of their strong international presence.

After the Cambodia concert, 2NE1 is scheduled to return to Korea on July 6 and continue activities at ‘WATERBOMB SEOUL 2025’, held at KINTEX in Ilsan. The group is also set to appear at ‘WATERBOMB SINGAPORE 2025’ in August and ‘WATERBOMB BALI 2025’ in September, continuing their global engagements.

Speculation recently arose when CL was seen meeting with Yang Hyun Suk, executive producer of YG Entertainment, leading to rumors of a possible shift in the group's activities. However, current sources suggest that 2NE1’s primary focus remains on delivering complete-group performances and connecting with fans through the stage.

2NE1 debuted in 2009 and gained worldwide popularity with hits like ‘Fire’, ‘I Don’t Care’, and ‘I Am the Best’. Although the group officially disbanded in 2016, they reunited in 2023 and have since resumed group activities, much to the delight of fans around the world.
