Fans speculated that 2NE1 Park Bom has quit her singing career following the 2NE1 disbandment.
Last week, YG Entertainment officially announced that they have decided to disband the agency's female group citing Minzy's departure made it hard for the remaining members to go on. The disbandment shocked fans as 2NE1 is one of the top girl groups in South Korea and worldwide.
The label also revealed that YG renewed the contracts of CL and Dara, but Park Bom did not renew her contract. This is different from what YG announced earlier this year when 2NE1's contract expired. Many speculated that she intends to sign on another agency. However, at the state of her scandal and image to the public, many are skeptical that an agency will accept her.
Moreover, during her time spent in YG, Bom solely focused in singing being the main vocal of the girl group. Park Bom posted a handwritten letter on her Instagram account. The letter reads,
"To fans around the world...
Hello to my fans who've always loved and looked after me. This is Bom.
My Blackjack! You all really waited for us...
I apologize... I can only say I'm sorry... It hurts a lot, but...
I wanted to write a letter... What I can say right now...
I wanted to say that I tried my best during this time...
To show our fans, I'd anticipated, prepared, and waited for a lot of things.
Not all things in life happen the way I'd like it to...
It's not something I did hastily for a few years... How can I lose it all at once...
T.T?? What can I do... T.T
I'm disappointed, but... our "memories"... I won't forget them.
The happy times we had, the joyful times we had... T.T
I shed blood, sweat, and tears... I'll keep it in my heart...
When I think of separating from Dara, CL, and Minzy,
I lose all my words... my breathing stops...
I can't write anymore because my heart is hurting...
During this time... the 4 of us...
'We were able to do everything because of you all...'
I won't forget...
Thank you... T.T
On a rainy day... Posted by Bom..."
