When is Minzy coming back?

Minzy's summer single will be released in July. There has been no official announcement regarding the actual date yet, but the label has teased preparations for the vibrant summer comeback and the promotion works of Minzy are well underway. The former member of YG Entertainment's girl group 2NE1, who established MZ Entertainment last year after departing from Musicworks Entertainment, made her official debut in the Philippines prior to the 2021 comeback with the Tagalog version of her single 'Lovely' in November 2020.

After 2NE1 disbanded in 2017 with the single 'Goodbye' in January that year, Minzy released her first-ever solo EP, 'Minzy Work 01: Uno' in April, which contained six tracks. The EP charted at number 10 on South Korea's Gaon Album chart and went up to debut at number 2 in Billboard US World Albums chart. Check out the lead single of the EP, 'Ninano', a duet with South Korean rapper Flowsik below.

2NE1 vs Blackpink

After the announcement of Minzy's comeback surfaced, a new fandom war between the former YG girl group and present YG Entertainment's girl group Blackpink emerged where the former K-pop group received its fair share of praise and slander. 2NE1 fans are of the opinion that the group disbanded due to YG Entertainment's mistreatment and this is a fresh start for the group. Previously, Sandra Park of 2NE1, who recently left YG, was heard saying that they wish for their group to be together someday again. A fan opined, "let’s not forget 2ne1 disbanded because of the mistreatment not because they wanted to cause if they were still going there would be no Blackpink right now so stay humble!"

Another K-pop fan commented, "2ne1 Disbanded because of the problem around them and the management itself... And don't forget also that BLACKPINK is already a planned  debut before 2ne1 Disbanded....." A fan claimed, "2ne1 and Blackpink both queens of kpop, the end and period!" Excited about the Minzy comeback, a fan posted, "Minzy-dance-machine-doing-the-salsa type of comeback! Hot as summer!!!"
