Sandara
talks about 2NE1's disbandment and more
In a new interview with 1theK, the idol opened up about the emotional turmoil she had to face once she found out that the group was officially disbanding. She shared how the entire group had been extremely worried while working on the production of their last album, 'CRUSH', and last single, 'MISSING YOU'.
'The company said 2NE1 is over now. I think we were No. 10 on the chart. We were always No. 1, but now we were No. 10. We were sad, and the fans and the agency were sad too,' Sandara stated in the interview.
She cited that the inevitable felt like it was near, as their singles, such as '' and '', were not performing well on the charts, and their popularity had dropped a lot in the public. She shared how one day the group's management agency just called them up and said that 'this isn't working'.
She stated that the company told them that 'This album isn't going to work. Let's stop promoting now.' Detailing the matter, the idol also stressed how at first the statement had felt like a joke to the members.

'I'm not sure if it was a joke or something he said because he was upset, but we went to record 'MISSING YOU' after we shared that conversation, and the last lyrics were too much like breaking up,' she continued.
'MISSING YOU' felt like a breakup song
While talking about producing and working on their last project together as a group, Sandara detailed how even the lyrics of their single 'MISSING YOU' kept feeling like a 'break-up song'.
She shared that the lyrics made all of the members extremely emotional and sad. She also said that '(Park) Bom and I cried for hours in the recording studio.'
While the single ended up ranking at the top of the charts at the time of the release, 'CRUSH' still ended up being the group's last album before disbandment.
Recently, however, the group had an official reunion and even finished up their 'WELCOME BACK' tour as well.

Once rejected by the army for being undersized and nearly condemned to pulling tangas after a failed eye operation, he was rescued just in time and went on to become a champion show jumper under Hooda's care. Named after Maharaja Ranjit Singh Gaekwar due to his one functional eye, Ranji remained spirited and full of life till the very end. 'He came into my life outta sheer destiny and made my life so much richer,' wrote Hooda. 'He took me flying over many obstacles, sometimes with my eyes shut for fear of it, and won me many medals.'
