2NE1
2NE1's influence on the K-Pop world can be seen in a variety of ways. They were unlike any other girl group prior to, during, or after their reign as K-Pop queens. The music, clothing, and hairstyles were all iconic. With the release of their debut EP 2NE1 in 2009, the group experienced immediate success. Lollipop, a collaboration track with label mates Big Bang, and Fire were included on the EP. More classics were released in the K-Pop world, including I Don't Care, Go Away, Can't Nobody, I Am The Best, and Follow Me.
More hits followed, including "Ugly" and "Lonely," and nothing could deter 2NE1. A plethora of prizes, world tours, you name it. In terms of dominance and legendary status, 2NE1 was the female Big Bang. Crush, 2NE1's 2014 album, is a huge success, but it is also the beginning of the end for the group.
In November of 2016, YG shocked the world by announcing that 2NE1 would be disbanded. In 2017, 2NE1 released their final single, Goodbye, and the era of 2NE1 came to an end. All of the members of 2NE1 are still active in their own right, with both Bom and Minzy having recent musical releases. Some members have hinted at a reunion, but nothing concrete has been announced.
