Blackjacks, the official fan organization of K-pop group 2NE1, have been increasingly worried about their idols as reports spread that member Dara unfollowed her record label, YG Entertainment on Twitter.
After her birthday vacation in the Philippines, Dara held her first solo fan meeting in Myungdong, KpopStars reports. Fans were particularly concerned as there have been disbandment rumors going around for the last few weeks.
The 30-year old idol took to Twitter to express her thoughts about her fan meeting. "After my debut in Korea, today is the first time that I did a solo fanmeeting," the 2NE1 member tweeted. "To the Blackjacks who were with me during my first time and Clio, thank you so much."
"It was a bit sad because I was alone but because you all were there to support, I gained strength today. To all of my fans from all over the world, thank you so much for today! I am so thankful that I have such amazing fans. You are why I do the things I do. You keep me going!"
Speculations became worse after observers pointed out that YG Entertainment had not promoted Dara's event while it promoted another artist's fan signing event scheduled on the same day.
The rumors of disbandment rumors started after it was revealed that 2NE1 member CL will be making a solo debut in the United States. The group's leader and rapper will be working with Scoter Braun, who is known as the one behind superstars Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande and Psy.
Meanwhile, Philippine media reported that Dara went on a "healing vacation" during her birthday in a resort in Palawan, Philippines. She was with some close friends and staff from YG Entertainment.
An early birthday celebration was held on November 8, which was attended by some of the K-pop star's close Filipino celebrity friends.
So far, YG has not issued a statement regarding the matter.
