Minzy Honors 2NE1 In Gundam Figure Design

Although Minzy had 2NE1 fans worried when she changed her social media handles, her latest Gundam figure design may put our fears to rest.

As previously reported, 2NE1's Minzy and WINNER's Mino have Gundam displays at the 2014 Gunpla Expo, the largest Gundam model kit exhibition that also travels the world. Now fans have the first photos of their respective Gundam figures from the Expo.

"The group I belong in, 2NE1, has a lot of uniqueness and have different colors, so I designed my Gundam like a rainbow with seven colors to harmonize with 2NE1," said the description for the model translated by Haruna.

For Minzy, this is not the first time the 2NE1 singer/rapper has been featured at the Gunpla Expo.

In 2012, an originally colored Gundam by the K-pop idol was displayed at the Expo in Japan, which also served as Minzy's first solo event in the country. Her enthusiasm for Gundam collection was also featured on "2NE1 TV" during its third season.

When asked whether she still collected Gundam figures during a recent "Ask in a Box" interview, Minzy responded, "I collect RC cars now. I donated [the Gundam figures] to the people who really like Gundam figures but can't afford them."

Meanwhile, WINNER's Mino has debuted his Gundam figure, which is displayed next to Minzy's figure. Like Minzy, Mino is honoring his group by putting their "W" logo on the shield of the figure.

"Funny how Minzy's Gundam is manlier than Mino's," tweeted Park Sweg on Twitter.

Last month, 2NE1 experienced disbandment rumors after CL confirmed her American debut due to Minzy changing her Instagram and Twitter handle. However, YG Entertainment released statement on the matter shortly thereafter.

"It is the artist himself/herself who controls his/her own SNS activities," said YG Entertainment according to Koreaboo. "We want to tell you that we are very careful in telling you anything. We want to tell you that the timing of the announcement of CL's American debut and the timing of Minzy changing her Instagram ID coincided. There is no special meaning to what happened."
