2NE1's Dara Reveals Park Bom's Whereabouts And Reunites With CL

Although CL's impending solo debut and Park Bom's disappearance has made 2NE1 fans nervous about the status of the group, Sandara Park is letting us know that everything is okay.

On Monday, Dara traveled to Los Angeles and kept fans updated on her personal Instagram. Even better, local fans returned the favor by asking Dara some burning 2NE1 questions.

"We miss Bom," said alleged 2NE1 fan Daraggie. "[We haven't] heard anything about Bom for a year."

Surprisingly, Dara responded to everyone's questions regarding Bom.

"She's okay," said Dara according to video footage from Jenna Hyang. "She is in Korea. I meet her [once in a while]."

Last summer, Park Bom became embroiled in controversy for reportedly illegally smuggling amphetamines into Korea. As a result, the powerhouse singer has been on a self-imposed exile from social media for over a year, and has not been seen since 2NE1's Japanese fan meetings in December.

Coincidentally, Dara was also responsible for the last instance fans saw any online activity from Bom.

On May 20, 2NE1 member Sandara Park uploaded a photo featuring her and WINNER's Kang Seung Yoon for Elle Korea. With 2.5 million followers, Dara's photo garnered 154,000 likes, and one of them happened to be Park Bom.

"Park Bom is online and she liked [Dara's] photo with Seung Yoon," tweeted WeLoveBom along with a screencap.

The status of the YG Entertainment girl group has also been called into question due to CL's solo activities in America. However, Dara also put those questions to rest by reuniting with CL on her trip.

CL is slated to make her debut later this year. Managed by Scooter Braun, she has reportedly worked with musical talents like Diplo, Skrillex, Grimes, Florence Welch among others. She has also filmed at least one music video in Brooklyn, New York last month.

“2NE1’s contract with YG Entertainment is valid until next year," commented YG CEO Yang Hyun Suk according to Koreaboo.

"They will most definitely release an album before that. As soon as CL’s solo promotion in America ends, 2NE1 will release a new album. CL’s advanced success in America will impact 2NE1’s comeback direction. If CL’s goes big in America, there is a higher possibility that 2NE1 will stand in American stage as well.”
