After the initial shock of seeing 2NE1 perform as a complete foursome at MAMA 2015, fans trooped to Park Bom's long-inactive Instagram account to leave supportive messages.
Fans welcomed Bom back after spending a long time out of the spotlight, complimenting that she performed well on stage with the rest of her longtime group members. Many also expressed their delight at seeing her again looking healthy and happy, and encouraged the idol to tune out the negative comments online.
"You killed it on the MAMA stage - welcome back Bom!" "Wish you good health/wish you all the B.E.S.T - we wanna see you soon again," "We missed you very much," "Don't mind what people say! We love you no matter what. Thank you for coming back to us," wrote fans.
Most fans left their encouraging comments on Bom's last Instagram post, which was posted 75 weeks ago, a photo of her previous three female housemates on the show Roommate.
Bom reportedly went on self-imposed hiatus after a drug scandal erupted in the middle of last year, and prior to the MAMA 2015 performance the last she had actively promoted with the group was during the Japan fan meetings in December last year.
Still, fans that are hoping for Park Bom's full return to the music scene following the 2NE1 reunion on stage will have to continue waiting since YG Entertainment has confirmed that "there are still no plans for a Park Bom comeback."
