Rumors of 2NE1′s disbandment are surfacing once again with new reports about Minzy being in talks with other agencies.

An entertainment industry insider spoke with news outlet TV Daily and said, “2NE1’s contract expiration date is coming soon and it looks highly likely that the team will disband. Gong Minzy is meeting with other agencies and preparing to move.”

The source continued, “I heard that Gong Minzy has actually gone to the point of negotiating contracts with an agency. Apparently it didn’t work out because Gong Minzy’s contract fee was too large.”

On the other hand, some insiders believe Minzy is just generally testing the waters to check her net worth.

YG Entertainment has yet to comment on these reports.
