Following the two members, leader CL also commemorated the special day by leaving a heartfelt message on her IG story, sharing photos of the quartet from Coachella 2023.

She wrote:

"Forever grateful for my girls and all the BLACKJACKs around the world. Happy 14th anniversary. I love you all with my heart."

While Park Bom, the eldest member, remained silent on Instagram, she didn't disappoint BLACKJACKs as a day after, Park Bom posted a short video on her Instagram with hashtags of her name and "I love you" in various languages.

Although Bom didn't say much about it, fans believed that it was her subtle way to celebrate their anniversary with fans.

Park Bom Draws Mixed Opinions With Recent Appearance Change

While some were happy to see Park Bom active on Instagram once again after two weeks, some couldn't help but notice her recent visuals.

In the video, Park Bom showed off her Douyin-inspired (Chinese internet stars) makeup and beauty with her plump red lips and thick eyeliner emphasizing her eye underline.

On top of that, her bangs turned to the side creating a unique yet lovely atmosphere.

Ultimately, BLACKJACKs praised her doll-like visuals and left comments such as:

• "Pretty as always."
• "A Barbie doll."
• "Why are you so gorgeous?!"

However, people implied that Park Bom changed something again in her face. They expressed disappointment about her appearance and conveyed the desire to have the "old" Park Bom.

• "What happened to you?"
• "I hope you are doing well."
• "What have you done to yourself?"
• "Is there a problem with your mind?"
• "Please say something to her, it's too much, I miss the old Park Bom."

Reading this, fans defended Bom and left more positive comments such as:

• "Remember that more people love you, okay?"
• "Just do whatever that will make you happy, we will always be here to support you."
• "Why are the comments so mean? It's just makeup and her face changed a bit due to her weight gain. Either way, she's still pretty outside and inside."
