Phnom Penh, Cambodia – Esteemed K-pop group 2NE1, comprising all four original members – CL, Park Bom, Minzy, and Sandara Park – successfully reunited for a performance in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, today, July 5, 2025. The highly anticipated appearance took place as part of the ‘GANZBERG SUPER IDOL’ concert series, held at the Koh Pich Theatre in the Cambodian capital.
This concert marks a significant moment for fans worldwide, as it is the first time the complete quartet has performed together on stage since their ‘WELCOME BACK’ encore concert approximately three months ago in April. The reunion in Cambodia was particularly notable following Park Bom’s absence from the recent ‘Head In The Clouds LA 2025’ show, which the singer missed due to stated personal reasons and scheduling conflicts.
Historic Reunion in Phnom Penh
The decision by all four members to come together for the ‘GANZBERG SUPER IDOL’ concert underscores the enduring bond within the group and the significant demand for their collective performances. Taking place at the prominent Koh Pich Theatre, the event provided a platform for 2NE1 to reconnect with their fanbase in Southeast Asia, delivering a performance that featured their signature energy and powerful stage presence.
The concert on July 5, 2025, was a central highlight of the ‘GANZBERG SUPER IDOL’ event, drawing considerable attention from both local and international audiences eager to witness the iconic lineup perform in unison once more. The venue at Koh Pich Theatre facilitated an intimate yet grand setting for the group’s return to the stage as a complete unit.
Park Bom’s Timely Return
Park Bom’s participation in the Cambodia concert was a key element of this reunion. Her previous absence from the ‘Head In The Clouds LA 2025’ event had been attributed to personal reasons and scheduling conflicts, making her presence alongside CL, Minzy, and Sandara Park in Phnom Penh particularly noteworthy. This confirms the group’s intent to perform with its full original lineup for select engagements, commencing with the Cambodia date.
The return of all four members to the stage reinforces the group’s identity, cherished by their fanbase, known as Blackjacks, who have long hoped for opportunities to see the complete 2NE1 perform their hits.
A Legacy of Influence: 2NE1’s Journey
2NE1 originally debuted in 2009 under YG Entertainment, quickly establishing themselves as pioneers of the K-pop sound with their distinctive style, genre-bending music, and strong, independent image. Hits like “Fire,” “I Don’t Care,” “Go Away,” “I Am The Best,” and “Come Back Home” garnered them widespread acclaim and a significant international following.
Despite their immense success, the group officially disbanded in 2016, a development that saddened many fans globally. While members have pursued successful solo careers and engaged in individual activities, the desire for group reunions has remained strong within the K-pop community.
Previous instances, such as their surprise performance at the Coachella festival in 2022 and the ‘WELCOME BACK’ encore concert in April 2025, have demonstrated the enduring power of their collective presence and the fervent loyalty of their fanbase. The Cambodia concert builds upon these moments, signifying a continued willingness from the members to perform together for special occasions.
Upcoming Global Engagements
Following their successful reunion in Cambodia, 2NE1 is scheduled to participate in a series of major international music festivals, indicating a busy period for the group’s collective activities.
Their upcoming schedule includes a performance at the highly popular ‘WATERBOMB SEOUL 2025’ festival on July 6, 2025. This event is slated to take place at KINTEX in Ilsan, South Korea, marking a swift return to their home country’s stage as a group.
Further international dates have also been confirmed, with 2NE1 set to perform at ‘WATERBOMB SINGAPORE 2025’ in August. The ‘WATERBOMB’ festival series is known for its energetic atmosphere and prominent lineups, making 2NE1’s inclusion a significant draw for attendees in Singapore.
Additionally, the group is scheduled to appear at ‘WATERBOMB BALI 2025’ in September, extending their concert schedule to Indonesia. These upcoming performances highlight the group’s continued global appeal and provide fans across different regions with opportunities to witness the reunited 2NE1 lineup.
The Significance of K-Pop Reunions
The reunion of groups like 2NE1 holds significant cultural weight in the K-pop landscape. Disbandments often leave a void for fans who have supported acts throughout their careers. Concert appearances featuring original members, especially after years apart, become highly anticipated events that celebrate the group’s legacy and allow fans to relive moments associated with their music.
For Blackjacks, the sight of CL, Park Bom, Minzy, and Sandara Park performing together again, starting with the July 5, 2025, concert in Phnom Penh and continuing with major festival dates like Waterbomb in Seoul, Singapore, and Bali, is a powerful affirmation of the group’s lasting impact and the possibility of witnessing their combined artistry live.
In summary, 2NE1’s full four-member reunion in Cambodia marks a pivotal moment, leading into a series of confirmed international performances that underscore the group’s undiminished status as icons in the global music industry.
