The full reunion of 2NE1 (CL, Dara, Park Bom, and Minzy) is becoming more likely as the members take steps toward a possible 2NE1 comeback.
YG Entertainment has confirmed that producer Yang Hyun Suk and the four members of 2NE1—CL, Park Bom, Dara, and Minzy—had a meeting at the YG building on June 27. The meeting lasted about two hours and included meaningful and profound conversations.
A YG representative stated that it was the first official meeting between Yang Hyun Suk and 2NE1 in eight years, and while no specific plans were made, Yang Hyun Suk is said to have listened to the members' requests and empathized with their sentiments.
Korean netizens were surprised by the news and gathered in a popular online community to share their thoughts on the meeting. Korean netizens commented:
"Do they need to do it with Yang...?"
"Really? Should I expect much? I already know how badly Yang treated them when they were promoting... but we can't really do anything if they want to work with him again."
"Can't they do it with THE BLACK LABEL?"
"This is only possible after meeting with Yang Hyun Suk?"
"The way they were treated at the end... but still with YG?"
"Please..."
"I wish they don't work with him..."
"Maybe they can get the 2NE1 trademark from him."
"Dang..."
"All they need is Teddy's songs..."
"To reunite and continue activities smoothly, they have to stay on good terms with YG... Moreover, Park Bom has always wanted to stay with the group, and both CL and Dara have renewed their contracts multiple times, maintaining a friendly relationship until the end. There's no reason for them not to work with YG. From YG's perspective, successfully facilitating 2NE1's reunion would greatly benefit the company's image, making it a complete win-win situation."
"The copyright..."
"I don't like the idea but I think this has to go smoothly for us to see 2NE1 again so..."
