2NE1's Sandara Park to Release Debut Solo Project 'Reprism'
the 2ne1 legend has done literally everything in this industry except release her own songs — and she's fixing that with a solo project called 'reprism.' 22 years of waiting and mother said now.
okay everyone take a breath because sandara park — DARA, 2ne1 royalty, a woman who has been famous since flip phones — is finally releasing her own music. after twenty-two years. i'm normal about it. (i am not.)
the project is called 'REPRISM' and it's not a one-off — she's been building it for over two years. a two-track single album lands this fall, with a full-length album coming after. she's doing this properly, like someone who has waited two decades and is not about to rush the good part.
the two songs tell you everything: one's called 'Festival,' a rock reimagining of a track you already know, and the other, 'Nail,' is her very first original composition, written with her own songwriting team. not her covering someone. not her featuring. HER songs. finally.
she called it "the biggest turning point in my life," and honestly? believe her. she said in 22 years she wore every hat except the one where she makes her own music — and that hat is on now.
so yes, a 2ne1 member is entering her singer-songwriter era in the year 2026 and i think that's beautiful. we are so back and dara is so home.

TXT Hold Surprise New York Concert After Festival Cancellation
global citizen fell through, so the boys threw their own 'practice room festival' in nyc instead. absolute menaces (loving).
TXT got handed a cancellation and turned it into a plot twist, respectfully.
after the 2026 Global Citizen Festival — which TXT were set to be part of — got called off, the boys pivoted and threw a surprise 'New York Practice Room Festival' for fans instead. flights already booked, hearts already set, so they simply made their own event happen.
this is such a MOA-first move: instead of a quiet 'sorry, see you next time,' they showed up and gave the people who traveled a real moment. the community-over-everything energy is exactly why this fandom is like this.
festival cancelled, spirit absolutely not. see you in the practice room. 🗽
