The Dark Truth on What Happened to 2ne1 After They Disbanded

[@ImTheKillaMonster]

2NE1 def had a more powerful and meaningful career. their songs had so much emotion behind while having a harder exterior. if only we could've gotten one more album from them.

[@Victor-lr2xr]

I found KPOP in February 2023. I then found Blackpink and enjoyed most of their songs. then I found 2NE1 and I am now a Blackjack. I have listened a dozen other KPOP girl groups and like some. None, however, have moved me, affected me like 2NE1. 2NE1 shares emotions in their songs. The confront feelings of love and rejection. They have shown exceptional talents and the ability to bring variety to their craft. 2NE! makes me feel their are enjoying themselves when they perform. They are interesting! The other KPOP groups make me feel like I am watching clones all similar in expression and appearance. I appreciate their technical dancing but would rather listen to the song than watch their video. The loss of 2NE! has removed the best group, most innovative girl group in KPOP which cannot be replaced.

[@RainingFlow19]

I am happy I got to watch 2NE1 since debut (as I am a major fan of BB since 2008, still is). They were literally one of the innovators of kpop. What always gravitate me towards 2NE1 over SNSD was that their lyrics always felt genuine and they speak from heart. My all time fav is "if I were you" have a listen!

[@yadiaag7771]

You missed so much… Minzy got into dispute with YGE because a manager stole millions from her and the company did nothing. Supposedly the manager was “suspended”….but it happens to Lisa as well. She rightfully wanted a solo career and to do more commercials by herself like Dara, basically she wanted to WORK. She was the most vocally talented in 2ne1 yet YGE never allowed her to do solo promotions and still had the two idols per week on shows rule. This is why we only saw blocks of Daesung or Dara ever on shows. Then the screen time went to Suhyun and Dara only. This was to help Big Bang and 2ne1’s mysterious image which was such BS that even hoobaes like Winner and iKON couldn’t get close to them and why even Blackpink members couldn’t interact with in house groups. Regardless winner and iKON are close to their two senior groups even till now. BOM has the worst end tho. BOM was confident she was going to work under the black label with teddy as a producer and was constantly practicing hervocals but even there she was suddenly terminated. This caused a lot of hurt to her and even epik high, top, Taeyang and GD made sly remarks about the situation. CL who literally became the most influential to bring international music producers, fashion designers, international choreographers, influential business partners ect. Was sidelined by YG and just used her talents to literally lay everything on a silver platter for Blackpink. Dara who was and is Koreas broadcasting darling was also used to benefit Blackpink and any artist inside of YGE when she was on shows. Honestly YGE has been hurting a lot since 2ne1’s disbandment because they genuinely had the most powerfully diverse girl group not just in Korea but in all of Asias market. The only group who could give Big Bang a run for their money on a performance stage was none other than 2ne1. 2ne1 was created a lot like Big Bang, they were organically created with their stark differences in personalities and talents combined into a truly unique group. I honestly think that Top seeing how 2ne1 was disbanded so easily was the first time he REALLY SERIOUSLY thought of leaving, Seungri leaving the industry just cemented his decision. you could just see the uncomfortable in all of the artists faces following the news.

[@djvillan]

I've been a Blackjack since 2NE1's debut in 2009, but also a fan of CL since 2006 when she appeared on BigBang's intro on their album and her appearance alongside Uhm Jung Hwa's song Disco. The little known facts and many unconfirmed rumours presented here have been embellished a bit. Park Bom wasn't called the company's failure and she wasn't pushed to The Black Label. The decision to disband was actually forced by the board of YGE and as much as I despise him, YG didn't want to disband 2NE1. The demo of As If It's Your Last was recorded by 2NE1 for their Crush album but it was not chosen to be on the album because 2NE1 already had enough better songs for that album. Park Bom has never hinted that YG was the one who destroyed 2NE1. Until one or all the members of 2NE1 spill the beans no one will ever know the actual truth.

[@akoimedtech]

upon watching this, now i understand why the diehard blackjacks despise YG. So its true YG just tossed them in the trash like the're nothing to think that 2ne1 also helped YG to became a top agency in korea.

[@kwonsandara17]

Nah the only reason why og blackjack hate YG (the company) is that 2ne1 members only know that they are disbanded through news.. 2ne1 is going to have a comeback after Bom's issue even after minzy leave.

[@evilydal]

Its the KNETZ tbh, korea back then wasnt so open on scandals and issues. Backlash and hate comments was really intolerable on 2ne1 by the koreans.

[@zohilvilla]

Best group ever. They set the standards of KPOP

[@kyriejelly1302]

What really saddens me is that none of the girls were able to establish long careers outside of the group unlike some of their contemporaries in SNSD, Kara, Wonder Girls even Miss A. Would've been nice to see soloist CL compete with the likes of Somni, Taeyeon on music shows, or actress Dara play main roles in Kdrama like Yoona, Suzy, Sooyung.

[@beg2ne1]

I started to realize that unless they do modeling or begin acting in dramas, they will probably all disappear. There are SNSD members in dramas. All members of Girls Day are acting. Kim Se Jeong is doing better now than with K-pop.. Gugudan wasn't big at all.

Dara is doing well. But she’s the only one with a career.

[@cescaemilia770]

Dara was on set in the Philippines for the reality contest "Pinoy boyband" when she found out. There were scenes where she was trying to hild in her tears. She even handed a letter to a blackjack audience at the time saying sorry and thank you

Re: Park Bom's so-called "drug scandal", it was so bogus as the drugs in question were a prescription medicatiion (adderal) which was completely legal in the US (and which Bom was taking legitimately) but in Korea was banned because of certain ingredients (which Park Bom did not realise). The press tried to make out that she was some sort of illegal drug addict when she was anything but, it was an innocent mistake but YG didn't defend Park Bom because she was reaching 30 years old and the company was looking for excuses to get rid of its older idols. Because of this (half the groups members nearing 30), it was never YG's intention to keep 2NE1 going forever regardless of what happened; whilst there are cases of male kpop idols having active careers well into their 30s, this is almost unheard of for female artists in the industry. Whilst 2NE1 was wildly successful, YG is ultimately a very formulaic and traditional idol company, being reluctant to renew contracts with more mature female artists and often getting rid of older ones by ceasing to promote and defend them. As a consequence, rather than seeing Park Boms " drug scandal" as a huge issue for the company, they saw it as a blessing in disguise because it gave them a reason to get rid of Bom without looking like the bad guys. Re: Minzy being the "rebellious" one, I don't think that's a fair accusation. Minzi joined 2NE1 when she was 15 and despite having a very feminine identity (she loved to wear long skirts, wear long hair and sing soft love songs Etc), the company made her adopt an incredibly tomboyish style and persona in the group. Minzy hoped to migrate away from this false identity but instead of allowing her to be herself, YG forced her to stay with the short hair tomboy look. On top of this, Minzy also felt creatively stunted in YG and as the years rolled by she started to realize that the only way she was going to get an chance to express herself more truly whilst still in her 20s was to be more confrontal towards YG. Does this really make Minzy "rebellious", when the reality is that YG forced her to rebel by putting her in a position where they made her spend all her prime idol years being someone who was the complete opposite of herself in every way and preventing her from having any freedom outside of 2NE1 in case it broke that illusion? I don't think so.

2ne1 are proof that no matter how successful a member is in a group doesn't mean they'll retain it after disbandment despite many blackjacks still listening to 2ne1, the individual careers of members are just alright, if YGE didn't disband them they'd still be huge. Bom's "scandal" was just nonsense that no one was actually bothered by it except a bunch of basement dwellers, Minzy should've been allowed to have a solo career in 2ne1 and Dara should've been able to get more focus. CL was doing fine despite YGE's constant attempts to ruin her career.

@@beg2ne1 the way things are going, I think BP girls are ready to go with the exception of Rosey. Their treatment of Lisa in particular is disappointing but seriously the whole Park Bom fiasco should have been handled properly by YG. It was sad what that sweet lady went through. Minzy was the one with guts, I don't blame CL who got mistreated just because she was the leader, the only one who escaped unscathed was Dara.

[@chingompiew1]

2NE1 were talented without a doubt. But they are a professionally produced idol group. The people that built and created them used their knowledge and experience in their next generation group Black Pink. People always talk about the success of one idol group being built on the success of the prior group but don't talk about the people in the back who actually built them. These idols are great because of the instruction they received from actual professionals. Some become good song writers and even producers because they got inside instruction from professional industry insiders that know the craft. Without YG and other production companies, each member of Black Pink or 2NE1 would have never made it on their own. They would have been regular people.

[@roythousand13]

Unfortunately, you are absolutely correct!

[@chenskychao9605]

This was the first of YGs disastrous mismanagement of their girl groups. Both 2NE1 and BlackPink were underutilized and should have had much larger careers. YG just does not understand how marketing works. That's why YG girl groups in both second and third generation were outclassed by other companies' groups. SNSD's popularity was unrivaled by anyone in the second generation, and Twice was more popular than Black Pink in Korea. Fortunately for BP, BTS had broken the US market, and they were able to take advantage of it. I will never understand why YG always limited how much work they gave their girl groups. The amount of music put out by SNSD vs 2NE1 is ridiculous. How often was 2NE1 seen on TV vs SNSD? YG did it again in the third generation. Again, how much music was Twice putting out vs BlackPink? It is stupidly lopsided. The girls in these groups hold no fault in this. It was just mismanagement at the highest level. I feel sorry for YGs next girl group. I don't see anything changing with that company.

It's one thing to be bitter at YG but it's a whole other to still be bitter at Blackpink for their success simply because your fave got into a drug scandal and their company had to shelve them. It was the Korean public who held onto that scandal far longer than seemed reasonable. It was Korean up and coming rappers that kept mentioning that drug scandal for a cheap hit that kept it going. A record company is a record company is a record company and they'll debut new music eventually, it's neither artists' fault. The color of the two groups' music is very different, this is not the trajectory 2ne1 would have taken anyway. They could have both existed under the same label, as was the original plan.

They just made me feel so happy and in a world of boring gloomy alt-college rock I was being force fed the INSANELY produced MV’s brought me so much joy. ALSO, I just couldn’t wrap my mind around how 9 pop star girls could get along so well.
