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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Own Co-live Units in Whitefield | Starting from 42L+ Sumadhura Learn More Undo '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.
