Minzy Finalizes Contract With New Record Company

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Former 2NE1 member Minzy (real name Gong Min Ji) has now signed on with entertainment agency Music Works.

On May 16, a representative from Music Works stated, “Gong Min Ji is an artist who has unlimited potential for growth in many different scenes. In order for her to achieve the very best of her talent, we’re going to support her in a wide variety of activities. Outside of her talent, we think Gong Min Ji is an upstanding person with high values. So in accordance with that trust, we will work with her and support her so she can grow and develop.”

The representative continued, “Gong Min Ji plans to make efforts as a musician, working as a soloist who writes her own music and lyrics. She’ll also be helping out with My Teen, the new group set to debut next year, and help out with her juniors both male and female. We ask that you give her your support, interest, and consideration.”

What are your thoughts on Minzy’s choice?

Soompi, naver

Famous ex-group members signing with new companies usually get solo releases fairly quickly, so that's great for Minzy. I do hope the company suports her for more than just that though and keeps her out of the dungeon for a good while...

It's Baek Ji Young and Yoo Seung Eun's agency and I think, taking into consideration what is possible for each of them, they do really nice job.

i'm curious how her solo debut will sound like. ..i'm guessing something powerful?

Coaching an idol group - on the side of having her own solo career - looks super interesting to me, she'll have a lot to share with the members and they'll get free advertising being "Minzy's brother/sister group", let's see how this goes!

Lots of luck to her, but My Teen sounds like a bad group name.

Those were my two thoughts reading this article lol

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

part of the trend of "really hard to google" group names, too

It's the same company as robbed produce 101 talent/beauty Kim So Hee :(

then sohee will probably debut in this new group and have the benefit of minzy's guidance!

I've never been a Minzy fan, but tbh this sounds great and I really hope she succeeds! Helping out with the new group and other juniors sounds really interesting too.

I was intrigued when I heard she was rumoured to sign with them and looked them up, I think they could be a good match! Music Works evidently have a lot of upcoming plans for their own artists but they've not got so many that slotting in minzy is going to be a huge problem. I'm looking forward to seeing what direction she's going to take as a solo (collabs with Baek Ji Young, pls).

i'm so excited for her solo debut! and i think it's great that she's working behind the scenes with the company's other groups, they can gain so much from her help.

Yes, this all sounds so promising! I wish her the best. <3

I'm probably reading too much into this but it sounds like a dig at YG's current reputation: Outside of her talent, we think Gong Min Ji is an upstanding person with high values.

lol

Hope everything works out for her in this new company <3333

so happy she found what seems a nice and good sized company. can't wait to see what she and 2ne1 release.

I will laugh for a good day if she releases something before 2ne1 does. I wish her the best of luck. I'm looking forward to how she progresses with a hopefully more supportive company backing her.
