These are their new MVs:

Happy

Come back home

EDIT:
I think both songs have parts in them that got in just to push CL as a rapper, which is annoying. Especially in CBH.
Happy isn't catchy or interesting.
CBH starts out cool, then disappoints with a generic sounding refrain and enters a boring CL rap part.
The MV for it obviously had quite a budget. And while the effects and style are cool, playing EVERYTHING in slow-motion does not automatically make everything cool.

 

CBH easily has the highest budget of any music video I've seen in a looooong time.  Incredibly executed.  Man H!P seems so low brow after seeing that haha.

[Valerie]

I'm surprised they thought Happy needed a video, but it is growing on me, a bit. CL annoys me less than most rappers in Korean girl groups so I don't mind her. Track 6, which has a title I can't read, but is apparently just her, is one of my favorites on the album.

 

edit: The internet says it's called MTBD. Whatever that means...

 

I love CL's solo. The hangul says it's 멘붕 which is "Menbung." According to my friend Jana it means "mental breakdown" which is what MTBD probably stands for.

I didn't know they had a new MV coming up, but "Gotta be you" just plopped up in my Youtube feed:

[Ap2000]

Boy, 2NE1 sure has been pretty much dead.

 

But it seems something might be going on, even if it's a disband:

I can't figure out how to post a link from my phone but YG confirmed 2ne1's comeback on November 21st!

It was speculation. Current media rumors point to a CL solo comeback, not 2NE1. Bom needs more time to reflect.

Honestly, I don't buy it. I think they just backtracked because the Korean netizens flipped shit over Bom again

[Zaeleus]

It's 2NE1 CL day today: CL - HELLO BITCHES. Given the general theme she's been using on her solo tracks, both the song and video are as expected.

CL also did a premiere interview with Noisey.

I actually shook my head and facepalm'd.

[Shiroi]

I expected nothing more and nothing less. This was seriously awful.

Can YG stop effing about and give 2NE1 a comeback already?!

[Ap2000]

At the recent MAMA awards CL performed her newest single (with a lot of tit jiggling) and then this happened:

I guess a comeback is more likely now.

[Shiroi]

I really hope so! Their performance was all kinds of amazing!

 

Seriously though, with that reception how could they not?

[Zaeleus]

Nope, back to the dungeon she goes (English):

Park Bom's MAMA stage was nothing more than a surprise present for her fans. However, she has no comeback plans at the time, and CL will be focusing on her solo career for the next while.

In just 10 minutes CL went from being my least favorite to my favorite 2NE1 member. I can't stand any of her songs but she OWNED that stage.

[Ap2000]

The 2NE1 disastertrain keeps on rolling:

Minzy is leaving the group and apparently they still plan to have a comeback in summer.
My guess is that Minzy did the right thing and nothing fruitful will ever again happen with 2NE1.

[Derby]

Good for her, the group now is all about CL taking pictures with designers none of us know and basically hiding Bom from the rest of the world.

[Anderei]

Not surprising after all that stuff last year about her removing 2ne1 from her social media.

[showraniy]

Oh, cool, Minzy was the one I paid the most attention to in 2NE1, so I'm hoping this means we get to see more of her. I'll be sad if she doesn't get to keep the swagilicious style 2NE1 is known for though.

[Zaeleus]

CL officially debuted in the US today with the single "Lifted", which samples Wu-Tang Clan's "Method Man".

It's going to bomb.

[Ap2000]

CL will be a guest on "The late late show", if anybody is interested.

[Kaworu]

She shot this video in my block. She's literally sitting on my building's roof. 

[Derby]

YG has disbanded 2NE1.
I really don't have a reason to feel sad or anything because I was so sure they would never release any songs again, but you know, it gets sad when it's official.

And if you don't follow the Park Geunhye scandal, some weeks ago YG was linked to Choi Soonshil so because of that Knetz resurrected (as if it was ever dead in the first place) Bom's drug scandal leaving comments on the subject on random articles all over the place to get some feedback and I don't know maybe YG decided this now because of that.

[Ap2000]

"Better late than never"... but it's too late. lol

They had a great few years and used to be one of my top K-pop bands, but as you said, this has been a long time coming.

[Sakebi]

Hmmm definitely lived their lifetime. There is only so many desperate attempts to stay "original" and outshine each other you can take before things start to dwindle. Hmmm. Hope the best for each of them. Minzy, really, but each of them.

[Anderei]

Dara and CL resigned with YGE. Bom did not.

[Derby]

What I read from a friend who googled about this because he didn't believe me, that site said it was YG who offered a contract renewal for CL and Dara but chose to not renew Bom's contract.

No idea if that's what happened cause I didn't even check it out

[Anderei]

I haven't seen a translation that states she wasn't offered renewal but it wouldn't be surprising if the company wanted to get rid of her. There was a popular singer in Korea who had a scandal she never recovered from despite it being proven the person in question wasn't her. Bom is actually guilty no matter how trivial it seems to us and is seen very poorly because of it. I don't know that they would have promoted her heavily as a soloist even if they had kept her. Her singing is kind of rough and YGE always lets their non-idol groups down.

[Ap2000]

I'm not sure how much of this is new material, but they released a final MV, appropriately titled "Goodbye":
https://www.youtube....h?v=wEkLHC7l25w

[Derby]

CL said that song was composed by her I think, months ago when Minzy left. It was supposed to be a farewell message to Minzy released on CL's solo album, but CL said they later changed the lyrics a little bit for it to be also a goodbye to the fans.

Funny enough, Minzy stated that she didn't even know about the song until she saw it on the news, which tells us they didn't even attempt to get her on the song.
