Content: I’m pretty sure that CL and Bom had been criticized a lot by knetz for too much makeup and too much plastic surgery respectively when the whole group appeared at the 2015 MAMA. Minzy leaving earlier this year left the group with only three members. With the debut of Blackpink, succeeding partially because of how long 2NE1 had left the scene devoid of strong, edgier girlg groups, it was pretty obvious that 2NE1 wouldn’t last much longer. 2NE1 had to disband at some point. It happened now because CL was becoming more independent, Dara was always just the visual (without CL, Minzy, Bom, she can’t do much music-wise), Minzy was done, and Bom may have become tired…? I mean, people can only take so much criticism. I hope that Bom will stay in the kpop scene, but they’ve all had their run, and it’s an alright time for them to stop. ; =; Quora User

Unfortunately they’ve been dead as a group since Park Bom’s “drug scandal”. YG doesn’t want to promote them with an image like that, so back in March Bom & Minzy decided not to resign their contracts.
