According to a YG associate, "Minzy did not discuss the issue regarding her departure from the team with rest of the members. The unexpected news brought great shock to the three." 

It is true that the girls struggled to stay strong over the years with various controversies, but the members had the great desire to remain together. However, things ultimately did not work out, and 2NE1 is now a team of 3. 

Regardless, we again wish both Minzy and 2NE1 best of luck!
