2NE1 remained firm that they’re in this for the long run while also offering an explanation for the ‘5-year jinx’ that surrounds this industry with idol groups often not being able to last more than 5 years.

 

On the July 17th broadcast of YTN’s ‘Ho Jun Suk’s News In’, when asked, “Have you heard of the ‘5-year jinx’? Many groups tend to break up after 5 years.” Leader CL explained, “That is probably due to the contract term.”

 

When asked, “Then how is 2NE1’s contract term?“, CL responded, “Although we can’t reveal that, we still have time left. I think our team will continue for a long time.

 

On the topic of promoting as solo artists, Dara shared, “If the opportunity presents itself, I want to do it. But since I’m promoting as a team right now, I am focused on 2NE1.

 

CL added her two cents as she said, “Park Bom unni and I have experience promoting as solo artists. Our members didn’t originally prepare to be part of 2NE1 but prepared to be solo artists. But we ended up recording a song together and became a group that way so I think that all of us will have a chance to promote as solo artists one day.”

Some translations from the streaming earlier:

Newscaster: Sandara Park, Park Sandara? (he was going to ask her a question, but was confused on how to address her)

Dara: Just call me Dara-ssi then, it’s easier.

Newscaster: How about going solo? Do you have it in mind right now?

Dara: I think it will be fun going solo. But my focus is on 2NE1 at the moment.

Dara: If I weren’t in 2NE1, I’d probably be an actress. Doing rom-coms maybe.

Newscaster: You debuted in the Philippines and you were very famous. But you threw that away and came back to Korea.

Dara: I lived a good life in the Philippines but coming here enabled me to do new things. I miss my fans in the Philippines.

Newscaster also mentions that Dara’s brother is in MBLAQ, to which Dara says “yes,” then he goes on to say that Bommie’s unnie is also in music as well.
