2NE1 explains the '5-year jinx' among idol groups

On the July 17th broadcast of YTN's 'Ho Jun Suk's News In', when asked, "Have you heard of the '5-year jinx'? Many groups tend to break up after 5 years." Leader CL explained, "That is probably due to the contract term."

When asked, "Then how is 2NE1's contract term?", CL responded, "Although we can't reveal that, we still have time left. I think our team will continue for a long time."

On the topic of going solo, Dara shared, "If the opportunity presents itself, I want to do it. But since I'm promoting as a team right now, I am focused on 2NE1", and also expressed her interest in acting.

CL added her two cents as she said, "Park Bom unni and I have experience promoting as solo artists. Our members didn't originally prepare to be part of 2NE1 but prepared to be solo artists. But we ended up recording a song together and became a group that way so I think that all of us will have a chance to promote as solo artists one day."
