2NE1’s Reunion With YG Entertainment Sparks Skepticism In Fans
On July 21, KST, Yang Hyun Suk of YG Entertainment (YGE hereon) announced the 2NE1 will officially reunite for their 15th anniversary and hold a concert tour.
2NE1, the second-generation girl group from YGE, was an icon in its own right. All four members made distinctive marks on the industry in the seven years of their activity. Despite delivering one hit after another, the group had to discontinue in 2017. Many fans still feel that the members had to part ways due to YGE’s negligence.
If there is anyone to blame for 2NE1’s unfair disbandment, that will always be YG Entertainment. The truth is they abandoned 2NE1 and they failed to protect them when they were falling apart. It’s never the members fault that they were treated unfairly.

YG abandoned 2NE1 at their prime but look at my girls saving YG's ass now. Everybody say thank you 2NE1 and 2NE1 only.

Now that 2NE1 is reuniting under the wing of YGE again, many can’t keep their skepticism at bay while simultaneously celebrating the news. To some, this move seemed like a quick cash grab on the company’s part, while others felt that YGE had missed its chance to treat 2NE1 better.
- “Yang Hyun Suk wants them to fill his pockets.”
- “YG…”
- “Yikes.”
- “Wow, I got goosebumps.”
- “F*ck. They must’ve gone crazy.”
- “It’s great to see them reunite, but YG’s intentions are too obvious.”
- “Did he at least apologize?”
- “YG, LOL. Crazy evil b*stard…”
- “Now that they don’t have money, this was made possible.”
- “YG really seems to be lacking. In recent years, no matter how much money they’ve spent on BLACKPINK and BABYMONSTER, it still looks bad.”
- “Wow, those b*stards, LOL. What about when he abandoned them?”
- “After all this while… Should’ve treated them better when they were doing well.”
