On March 16, Gong Minzy shared a selfie with Sandara Park on her personal account, captioning it: “Hanging out with my sister.” The photo quickly gained popularity among fans, showing the two idols smiling brightly and posing comfortably together. Minzy stood out with her freshly dyed blonde hair, paired with a cream knitted cardigan and a striped tie in a youthful preppy style, while Sandara Park opted for a long natural hairstyle and a casual brown-toned outfit, forming a heart gesture with her hands.
According to Korean media reports, the duo attended a WOODZ world tour concert at Incheon’s Inspire Arena on March 15. Shortly after, Sandara Park reposted Minzy’s update and added the caption, “Date with Mingkki”, using the well-known nickname Minzy, further emphasizing their close friendship.
This interaction has attracted even more attention given the recent controversy involving Park Bom. The singer previously sparked backlash after posting a handwritten letter online, making shocking claims that Sandara Park was involved in a drug-related incident in the past and that the situation was covered up by placing the blame on her.
In response, Sandara Park strongly denied the allegations, stating that she had never used drugs and expressing concern for Park Bom’s health. Not long after the incident, reports emerged that he had unfollowed Park Bom on social media, fueling speculation about tensions between the former bandmates.
As the controversy continues to spark discussion among fans and netizens, Sandara Park’s latest appearance with Gong Minzy seems to send a subtle but clear message: Despite the noise, some friendships within 2NE1 remain intact.
