Amid 2NE1's full group reunion concert, Park Bom raised anticipation after teasing fans her visual transformation.
On August 13, 2NE1 leader CL sent fans into a frenzy after she shared a group photo via Instagram story.
In the black and white image, the quartet was reunited in what seemed to be a practice studio, then tagging respective SNS of Park Bom, Sandara Park, and Gong Minzy.
All of the members were only showing their backs, yet BLACKJACKs (2NE1 fans) could already feel the strong aura they were exerting as a group ahead of their much-awaited world tour.
Through the photo, K-pop stans were also reminded of the quartet's OG "girl crush" concept, seeing their hip 'fits.
But among the members, Park Bom caught the eye of people the most, with her slimmer figure and healthier appearance.
Through the years, Park Bom had experienced irregular weight gain and loss. It was revealed that the drastic changes in her physique were possibly a side effect of her medication for her Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), which made her unable to control her diet.

When criticism about her body intensified, the idol's side released an official statement attesting to fans that she was healthy and she only gained weight because of her inactivity.
However, she seems to be currently working hard to gain back her slim figure by working out.
With her healthier look this time, fans are pleased and excitement about how will she surprise the K-pop community with her complete transformation once they step on the main stage again.
Meanwhile, 2NE1 is continuously sweating bullets and diligently practicing their hits' choreographies with just two months left before their much-anticipated world tour to celebrate their 15th debut anniversary.
The "2024 2NE1 CONCERT [WELCOME BACK] IN SEOUL" will kick off on October 5 and 6 at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul. As soon as the ticket selling opened on August 5, both shows sold out, proving the iconic group's unchanging ticketing power.
A whopping 400,000 people simultaneously logged in in an attempt to reserve tickets for the shows. But after hundreds of thousands failed to secure their tickets, a demand for a larger venue and additional shows arose.
Following Seoul, 2NE1 will also hold their concert in Kobe in late November, and Tokyo in early December.
They will then further expand their global tour schedule, and connect with more audiences next year.
