Breaking News: 2NE1's disbandment confirmed by YG!

Probably one of the most heartbreaking news of the year just came in today after YG Entertainment confirmed the disbandment of their most popular girl band, 2NE1.

Fans of the infamous girl group, especially the Black Jacks, are in utter shock as they have been hoping for a comeback from 2NE1 and instead, what they had gotten was a disbandment.

According to Soompi, here is the full statement released by YG Entertainment:

"The exclusive contract of 2NE1 had expired last May 2016 and after Minzy left the group, the remaining members of the group along with YG Entertainment had decided, after many discussions, to officially disband 2NE1.

Because 2NE1 has been the representative girl group of YG Entertainment for seven years, we cannot put into words how sad it is for us but we also put into consideration how difficult it would be for the rest of the members to stay as one group. Instead of having them wait to return as a group, which is in fact filled with uncertainty, YG has decided that it would be best for them to focus on each of their solo careers.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who had loved and supported 2NE1.

Beginning in May 2016, we have instead signed solo contracts for both CL and Sandara Park while Park Bom is also still with YG."

2NE1's disbandment truly felt like a bullet to the heart however, it is completely understandable as to why YG deemed it necessary. With CL focusing on her solo career in the US, Dara on her various solo engagements in and out of South Korea and Park Bom still on hiatus, the chances for them coming back as a group as pretty slim, almost nonexistent in fact. So instead of giving their fans false hope of a comeback, it may have been the right thing for YG to do.

But still, it doesn't ease the pain that everyone must be feeling right now. Debuting back in 2009, 2NE1 had taken the world by storm with their explosive performances, eye-catching music videos and extremely catchy songs. With their confidence, they quickly became fashion icons and trend setters. Their popularity wasn't just exclusive to Asia as they had also become popular and gained a great following in the western world. 2NE1's career spawned several chart topping songs such as "I Don't Care," "Lonely," "Go Away," "I am the Best," and "Come Back Home."

Nam Tae Hyun was also confirmed to be leaving his idol group, WINNER, so YG Entertainment is definitely breaking millions of hearts right now, Koreaboo reports.

With 2NE1's disbandment, it truly is the end of an era. How do you feel about 2NE1's disbandment?
