Dara shared her thoughts on 2NE1's breakup through JTBC's 'Talking Street' on January 25.

Yoo Hee Yeol asked Dara about 2NE1's disbandment, with Dara replying, "I was devastated at first. I was in denial and became depressed. But now, I have accepted the reality and decided to participate in the show today."

In addition, "I am spending time with the members as usual, making them my closest friends."

Hearing this, Seo Jung Hoon commented, "It seems you still have tears in your eyes as we speak." Dara then smiled, "No, I'm done crying now."

Netizens commented, "I listened to your songs often. But it appears I can't anymore..." "I am happy to have spent 7 years listening to 2NE1. I will continue to cheer for you girls."

Can people stop mentioning park Bom's drug scandal?! I think she's had enough of that.

the drug addict ruined it all!!! 2ne1 was static. Thus CL pushed for solo, Dara did gigs outside of korea, minzy got fed up with YG and left to continue her career. Bom fked up everything for them.

No, Bom did not fuck up anything. If it's anybody, it's YG who let it go too far and too long. It was cleared up QUITE a long time but instead of taking the steps to support their artist, they threw her into the dungeon never to be seen again. The same with Taehyun from Winner, he has a mental condition of anxiety and panic disorder and what does YG do? Keep him from producing music to the point he's had to take a break from the music scene, THEN have the nerve to 'let him go in regard of his mental condition.' Letting it be known in their own way, they want to protect their image. Mental illness is still regarded as taboo in Korea, and therefore it would have 'hurt' their image if they would have kept on employing them and supporting them. YG would have been more respected if he would have stood by his artist, and put them back to work right after a 'reflection period' as they call it to work on their anxiety and mental health, and keep them working, PUTTING them out there slowly in order to keep promoting what they love. Both Bom and Taehyun have admitted "All the wanted to do was sing/produce good music" but YG got scared because if he promotes artists like those, his stocks would go down and his image would be soiled. Also, he NEVER allowed Minzy to have a solo career, which is why she left. She was TIRED of waiting for her career to blossom. In conclusion to this long paragraph, YG screwed up any chances for 2NE1 to be together again as 4. And it saddens me to the CORE that a company cannot attain a stronger image of not being prejudiced against people with anxiety and other known mental disorders.

Dara I said the same thing but how come I'm crying now?

Nothing is preventing the 4 2NE1 members from resigning to another label in the future and reforming as a group. Of course YG owns the 2NE1 name and it's discography, but it is possible if they want to go that route and start from scratch. The fans were fans because of the 4 ladies, and would probably enthusiastically embrace them in whatever new form they came back in.

What sucks is I was so focused on my sadness and my anger towards them and YG, I didnt even bother to think how they must of felt. Ugh, what kind of blackjack was I.
