Legendary K-Pop Idol’s Sudden Absence From Scheduled Event Sparks Fury
Recently, fans were devastated at a member’s absence at the Waterbomb Busan 2025 festival right before it was scheduled to take place.
On July 26, D-Nation Entertainment made an announcement regarding 2NE1’s Park Bom.
Park Bom has inevitably been unable to attend the scheduled event due to poor health. We apologize for the sudden news that caused concern among fans. We ask for your understanding and will do our best for Park Bom’s speedy recovery.
— D-Nation
However, despite the announcement, fans expressed their frustration on social media.
We would appreciate if you could be upfront about it and announce that she won't be attending future schedules until further notice due to health concerns.
All this is causing is disappointment and Bom to get harassed in her comments EACH TIME. She doesn't deserve that. https://t.co/w1GB6ghQDS

It is also not Park Bom’s first cancellation right before an event. Last month, she did not attend the Head in the Clouds music festival held in L.A.
At that time, her agency stated that she could not attend due to “personal circumstances.”
In particular, she is being criticized for continuously posting on social media despite missing several scheduled events.
Although she attended the Waterbomb Seoul recently, she did not appear for the Busan show. She is also scheduled to attend the Waterbomb Bali 2025 in September.
She is also set to appear at the halftime performance at the 2025 Coupang Play Series on August 3.
