[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Gong Min-ji, a singer formerly of 2NE1, revealed her recent status to fans during a live broadcast for the first time in three years. She also announced upcoming album activities.

On the 29th, Gong Min-ji held a live broadcast on her YouTube channel and said, "A lot has happened recently. I even wondered if I would be able to see you all again, but I am happy to see you again. I missed you so much," shedding tears.

Previously, Gong Min-ji moved to The Music Works after her contract with YG Entertainment ended in 2016.

However, in September of last year, she filed a provisional injunction to suspend the exclusive contract against The Music Works due to issues such as profit distribution and breach of promises. The court dismissed the case. Gong Min-ji continued to file appeals and engaged in a legal battle with her agency.

Then, on the 17th, Gong Min-ji announced through her SNS, "As of today, I have left the agency and gained freedom," signaling the end of the exclusive contract dispute.

During the broadcast, Gong Min-ji said, "During the long break, I spent time writing lyrics and making music," and added, "I think I will be able to give you a gift," revealing her future activities.

She also comforted her fans by saying, "This is a song that gives courage to you and myself," and "I will keep releasing songs, so I hope to meet you all often."
