But why destroy a longtime sustainable and successful band like 2 NE 1 ? They had longterm dedicated fans and new fans could always be made . Releasing new groups but not promoting them at all really isn ' t sustainable . and if you think the what , years long teasers and two week ? debut promotion on less than a handful of shows for blackpink was reasonable , you may be misinformed . Also WINNER spent so so long over a year and a half on an unofficial hiatus that they Seunghoon on vlive were even throwing shade at YG and desperately wanted to do something . I think that YG wanted a new Big Bang in success and music style but since they didn ' t meet his high af expectations he ' s been dropping his groups where ' s iKon ? left and right .
