[INSTIZ] 2NE1's disband is the reason for shock to (those born in the) 90's.



The best (ever) debut promotions


The best debut impact
(+ Even now, the Debut Stage is still talked about)

1 word (to describe) At that time of their debut, it was "Shocking" itself

Since then, every song was a hit. 
Their B-side songs are also very famous

Without 2NE1's songs, I can't reminisce my schooling days back in the 90's... 
They ended in vain, without a word. I can only be damn loss for words.

[KNETZ] Sandara Park "2NE1 Sorry for not protecting you, thank you for the past 7 years"

[+2015 -87] Lollipop - Fire - I Don't Care - It Hurts - Lonely - Missing You - I Am The Best - Crush - Comeback Home - Falling in Love - Ugly etc etc.... these songs are such a pity

[+1587 -67] I still can't forget when 2NE1 debuted. It was so shocking. ;;

[+1650 -104] Best ever unprecendented Girl Group... they disappeared just like that ㅠㅠ

[+1532 -73] They were really the only unique girl group.. it's such a pity.

[+1293 -59] It's still so good to listen to I Don't Care which is like a classic now.

[+196 -7] Dara-ah it's not your fault. Don't say sorry. (I will still) Support (you) . Let's often see you on TV.

[+207 -11] Sandara's face is pretty, heart is pretty too, 말도 indeed is pretty and there's no controversy or accusations about her after she debuted... she's really a good person

[+160 -9] How can this kind of unprecedented girl group disappear like this ㅜㅜ

[+140 -9] Woah 2NE1 really have a lot of hit songs

[CNETZ] 2NE1 decides to officially disband

[Post Response: 23k Reposts 11k Comments 10k Likes] 

[+9406] Is YG close to shutting down

[+8970] YG's biggest mistake is, giving the girls a long hiatus, even the diabanding, they did not give the fans a decent goodbye. You guys who had your last performance on MAMA stage, basically were not up on any Variety shows, how many people have really understood or know the 4 girls and not by only listening to their music. The first hip hop Girl Group who was born at that time. ❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭

[+4619] Very Good☺ This is what the Korean keyboard warriors wanted to see, Park Bom is not a celebrity now so you guys can don't keep cursing her ancestors and let her live a quiet life☺

[+4312] So the 2009 Girl Groups is only left with fx and T-ara?

[+2127] Never thought that T-ARA who was bashed badly by Korea did not disband but 2NE1 did

[+2129] Last year's MAMA really became the last performance

[+2102] I can't help but to hate the journalist who wrote about Park Bom, the article that does not start from facts is filled with evil and dirt, just like that it destroyed such a top group

"2015 MAMA actually became 2NE1's last stage, tears😢"

[+6368] I feel that this is the Girl Group that can't be surpass in Korea's History

[+4221] 2014 is Winner's 1st MAMA stage, its also the last time when they were standing as 5 (On MAMA)😭

[+3990] No more 2NE1. BIGBANG enlisting. IKON going to Japan. WINNER is not complete. YG has become a canteen

[+2232] The 2nd Generation groups that I like.. 2NE1.. 4minute.. anyways compared to the Girl Groups now, I really the cool sisters before π  π

[+2138] Shit, a SM fan like me also can't handle it

[+1829] How many people is still waiting for Park Bom's return

[+1777] The unique girl groups all lost to the time, lost to the years! Girls Groups now are like a copy, can't find anything unique! It's no longer the golden age for Girl Groups, for Hallyu! Korean entertainment really changed, look at this year's MMA, among the groups, EXO is already the big sunbae!

[+1251] Hiphop Girl Group is dead☺

Author's Notes:
-I'm sad
-I will still continue updating about the individual members tho
-I will post the instiz article later

[KNETZ] "Charismatic Femme Fatale" CL's 1st North American concert site


Source: Naver

[+991 -39] I feel some bitterness whenever CL (and) Sandara go for schedules overseas... They had many great songs like 'I Don't Care', 'Lonely' and etc... They were very popular during 2NE1 TV as well. They could have become bigger (more popular) but because of one person, Park Bom, Gong Minzy withdrew and it became a situation where (2NE1) is neither here nor there.. I feel like it's quite a pity and at the same time bitterness.

[+687 -61] It was really cool seeing the performance videos where (CL's) stage presence (could be seen) when performing her Korean songs! I wish she would return to Korea soon and have a comeback

[+494 -37] It would be hard being alone, hwaiting!!! It's cool to continue challenging!!!!

[+423 -32] Do what you're doing and succeed~

[+275 -47] But does the concert have a lot of people?

[+72 -10] Honestly, YG only has a good marketing and planning ability. In fact, everything else is a mess. It is too selfish, an individualism company.

[+51 -4] I always miss the complete 2NE1

[+47 -3] But in the end, I see that being in YG, CL has no experience in making trouble ㅋㅋㅋ Only about handful of ordinary people?

[INSTIZ] A boss who speaks bluntly in the eyes of the girl group

Is 2NE1


"Today, while making an appearance together with YG Entertainment colleagues, CL revealed, "CEO Yang Hyun-suk often said we are ugly despite being a girl group". She continued, "Usually during rehearsals, we would not put on make-up. CEO Yang Hyun-suk would look at us and comment 'oh my, you are really ugly'. Other staff were also around so I felt a bit sad."

- Comparing appearance part 1





"The CEO observed the group practising their dance, and noted that "Dara has a flat chest, so she should push it up a little more, shouldn't she? Correct?"

"CL and Gong Minji appeared in the show "Strong Heart" and mentioned about Yang Hyun-suk appearing at the performance hall when 2NE1 was rehearsing for the concert. At that moment, the studio camera focused on the members of 2NE1, while the screen showed their zoomed-in faces with no make-up during their concert rehearsal, with Yang Hyun-suk exclaimed "Wah ugly!" upon seeing them. His voice was so loud that the performers looked embarrassed with all the staff present."

- Detailed explanation of the situation 


"This was recorded in a reality show during 2NE1's trainee days. When lecturing the girls who looked like criminals in front of Yang Hyun-suk, CL saw him muttered to himself "You are really ugly". 2NE1 felt that his tone was far from being harsh or resistant."

- Comparing similar appearance part 2 (2NE1 TV)

An innocent remark can also hurt..

Source: Instiz

-I can't believe it.

-Yang CEO mentions BIGBANG and 2NE1's appearance too much

-Even if you're joking, the other party might feel sad, disappointed, or hurt..

-Why does he do this to these pretty kids..... 

-No..they are pretty kids..

-They are pretty enough..

-Mind your own face

-Yang Hyun Suk-nim, you must put a mirror in your house
