In November 2016, after seven years as team and following Minzy’s departure a few months before, YG announced 2NE1’s disbandment and released the group’s final single ‘Goodbye.’
However, it would not be the last time that the group’s original line-up will be seen together, as they made their surprise on-stage reunion during Coachella 2022.
