Sandara Park of 2NE1 shocked fans with a fresh, healthier update, revealing she has bounced back after roughly two months of rest.
On the 27th, Sandara posted several photos to her secondary Instagram account, writing, "I rested well for two months. Time to run again."
Her everyday moments in the photos were low-key yet full of life — from quietly relaxing at a cafe in sunglasses to brand-new ID photos in a clean, polished look. The neat hairstyle and styling in her ID shots especially drew praise from fans for her "ever-youthful visuals."
She also hinted at new hobbies and learning: a snapshot of her studying with a Japanese conversation textbook, plus a peek at drum practice. Using the hashtags "study" and "new beginning," Sandara showed she is resetting her life's rhythm.
On top of that, she shared a trendy "Dubai chewy cookie" snap — a viral gooey cookie trend — and a photo of gimbap (seaweed rice rolls) she made herself, offering a glimpse into a more relaxed daily routine. Sandara reassured fans, saying, "It's been so cold lately that I struggled with a cold, but I've been eating well, sleeping well, and learning well."
Previously, Sandara revealed that her weight had dropped to 39 kg (about 86 lbs), and added, "I gained 3 kg back."
Meanwhile, 2NE1 successfully wrapped their 'WELCOME BACK' 15th-anniversary Asia tour last year. Starting in Seoul in October 2024, they met fans in the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Macau, before closing with an encore in Seoul.
