Gong Min Ji is leaving girl group 2NE1.

Even one of the biggest girl group 2NE1 couldn't avoid the jinx of 'break up' or members leaving from the team. After 7 years being together, YG Entertainment rep has mentioned the girl group youngest member Gong Min Ji is finally leaving the group. The remaining members of 2NE1 are CL, Sandara Park and Park Bom. 

The girls as singers in 2009 and exactly 7 years they have now decided to go on their own ways.In 2007, most girl groups were born such as Kara, Wonder Girls and Girls Generation.

Kara debuted in 2007 and in 2014, the band disbanded with members Nicole and Ji Young leaving the group after a crisis. Even after added new members it didn't pick up any better.
At the end, members Gu Hara, Han Seung Yeon and Park Gyuri left the agency- DSP Media. As for Wonder Girls they were a big hit as well after releasing Tell Me and Nobody singles but soon after leader Sunye left to get married and gave birth in 2013, the girl group added new member but their popularity just dropped. Since last year Sunye and Sohee dropped out from the group while Wonder Girls changed their style to a band but it was disastrous. 

Girls Generation who seems to stay afloat with their sexiness, songs and popularity also suffered when member Jessica Jung left the 9 team member last year after a crisis. Even after all the problems and law cases, there are still many new girl groups arising in the entertainment industry. Usually a group signed to contract for 7 to 9 years and before renewal of contract most of them would have left. 

As for 2NE1's case, Gong Min Ji's contract will end 5th May and she will move onto a new agency apart from YG. 2NE1 has laid low since last 2 years ago when Park Bom was involved in a case of receiving the drug- amphetamine. Since that member CL has been performing solo advancing to USA. As for Sandara Park, she has ventured into acting business. Despite facing such problems, agencies decided to still carry on the girl groups to build fan bases in local and also overseas. 

Currently YG Ent. has happening boy band Big Bang churning in the big bucks along with newbies Winner and IKon. However from SM Entertainment there is f(X), Miss A from JYP Ent. ...the market doesn't look too good.

We wish Min Ji all the best in her future career and good luck to YG Ent. and 2NE1 members.
