Sandara Park of 2NE1 marked the 17th anniversary of their debut by releasing a full-group photo.

On the 17th, Sandara Park posted on her social media, writing "Happy 17th anniversary~!!!" and shared a photo taken with the members. The released photo shows all four members (Sandara Park, CL, Minzy, and Park Bom) gathered together in one place.

Coordinated in black leather styling, they pressed their faces together and looked at the camera while striking winks, V-signs, and blown-kiss poses. That same day, Minzy also posted the same photo with the caption "Happy 17th Anniversary to us", adding significance.

Above all, this full-group photo drew particular attention as it was the first time the four members had been seen together since the recent controversy involving Park Bom. Park Bom had posted, then deleted, remarks on social media related to her past controversy, which sparked a stir and even led to rumors of discord among the members. In response, Sandara Park directly stated, "I have never used drugs. I hope she stays healthy", drawing a line. Afterward, news that they had unfollowed each other on social media spread, amplifying the rumors of discord.

However, the full-group photo released for the 17th anniversary conveyed a distinctly different mood from before. Park Bom also recently expressed her affection for the members through a handwritten note, leaving room for a change in their relationship.

Meanwhile, since debuting in 2009, 2NE1 has cemented its status as a leading K-pop girl group with numerous hits such as 'Fire', 'I Don't Care', and 'I Am the Best', but disbanded in 2016. About eight years later, they announced news of a reunion.
