2NE1 was a 4-member K-pop group formed by YG Entertainment and debuted in 2009 with their single, “Fire.” The name combined the phrases “21st century” and “new evolution”. It can also be interpreted as “To Anyone,” also the title of their 2010 album.

The group included members

CL – Rapper/Leader
Dara – Vocals/Director of communications
Bom – Vocals
Minzy – Dancer/Rapper

The group’s fourth and youngest member, Minzy, officially left the group on April 5, 2016. The band subsequently disbanded in November 2016. CL and Dara have since remained as solo artists to YG Family, while Bom was released from her contract.

Their sound blends K-pop, Hip-hop, Dance-pop, R&B, pop, and Electro-pop, and the group is known for their iconic, bold concepts.
