[News] 2NE1 has grown to be the only girl group who has never lost their typical identity


2NE1’s “I Am the Best” has dominated major online music download sites, while the song’s music video full of intense, experimental images has also attracted much attention. Following 2NE1’s earlier hit songs “Don’t Cry” and “Lonely,” it hit another huge homerun blow after blow.

As a girl group well suggestive of the unique characteristic of YG Entertainment, one of the most giant agencies in Korea, 2NE1 has kept its distinctive allure from other girl groups since its debut. The agency’s experimental decisions went as far as to encourage Sandara Park, known for its adorable appearance, to have the hairstyle of Vegeta, a funny character in the famous comic book Dragon Ball. 2NE1 has never lost their identity, continuing to try a wide variety of unexpected fashion styles and performance strategies for their music activities.

What’s more noticeable is the sophisticated level of their electronic hip-hop music which has been kept abreast of the latest global music trend. The repetitive hook, which has been considered one of the biggest drawbacks in the “idol” songs, has smartly been used in 2NE1’s songs, making them so addictive in a very exquisite manner. Surely, the high capacities of each member should be pointed out as the first contributing factor.

It is said that the image-conceptual options allowed for girl groups have generally been limited only to the two: sexy or adorable appeal. After repeatedly oscillating between the two strategies, fans can be fed up with the hackneyed images. 2NE1, however, has continued to come out with unprecedented themes and styles.

2NE1 will hold their first independent concert in August.

[News] Another Praise From Perez Hilton For 2ne1!



Just recently, 2ne1 released "I AM THE BEST", and as expected, the girls made an all kill comeback for this song. Fans were excited and were anticipating so much from the girls and the usual 2ne1 made it beyond the fans expectations.

Well, one of them is the well known celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. This is not the first time Perez praise the girls from their fierce songs, costume and music videos . Perez posted 2ne1's Clap Your Hands, It Hurts, Lonely, Don't Stop The Music, Lollipop, I Don't Care and Try To Follow Me on his blog before. I guess every music video that 2ne1 release is being praised by Perez Hilton so it's not a surprise that he also made a praising comment for the girl's "I AM THE BEST" MV. He even asked why can't America have girls like 2ne1.

Perez said:

Soooo good!!!Check out the fierce deluxe Korean girl group's just-released music video for I Am The Best (above)!

Sashay! Shante!!!

Why can't we have girl groups this hot in America???

I think Perez is a Blackjack (^_^) and for his question, I want to say, "Perez, don't worry 2ne1 is already planning to debut in America".


Wanna watch the video again?

[Interview/Trans] 2NE1, I am the Best DAUM Interview





2NE1 released "I am the Best" on June 24th. From the calm image shown in their other new song "Lonely", "I am the Best" shows a whole different side to the girls. With the other recently released songs such as "Lonely" and Park Bom's "Don't Cry" having dominated the Korean music charts without promotions, we will have to wait and see how "I am the Best" is critically received.

Q: Please introduce yourselves to Daum Music users.
2NE1: Hello Daum Music users! You've waited a long time, right? We are 2NE1, who just came back with an exciting song, "I am the Best".

Q: What type of album is this digital single of "I am the Best"?
Dara: This song is a product of YG's producer Teddy oppa. It's an addicting song with an electronic feel, and just from the title, you can tell that it's a fun song with a fast beat. If it plays at a club it will be very appropriate and exciting.

Q: If one says 2NE1, many think of the strong and various concepts. What is the concept of this song?
Dara: The best concept?? (laughter)
CL: It's a concept that is original to 2NE1. Please watch our performances for an accurate answer.



Here are handwritten responses to additional surprise questions!

Q: Summer is coming soon. What's one thing that is necessary for summer?
Park Bom: Sunscreen!!!



Q: What's 2NE1's future big goal?
CL: Billboard 1st place!!!(?)



Q: With your new songs coming out and an upcoming concert, do you ever feel overwhelmed and exhausted?
Minji: I'm not sure ,,,><,,, is it cause we practice 24 hours without breaks?!?!



Q: Tell us your plans for promoting "I am the Best".
Dara: We are going to see our BlackJacks that we haven't seen in a while! ^.^ kkk



Q: This August 27,28 you are having your first solo concert since debuting. What are your concerns for this concert?
CL: We want to know how we can show ourselves on stage in an engaging way. Because it is our first concert we really want to give the best performances that we can. Please await our concert and please come see us!

Q: Are there any special points in the dance for your new song?
Minji: We have a dance called the best dance. You can see how it goes in our performances!

Q: What do you do in your free time?
2NE1: With our concert coming up and our new songs, we haven't really had much free time. If we ever get free time, we ether listen to music or sleep. I think that concert preparation is taking a lot of our time.

Q: What are your promotion plans? Is there anything you want to say before we end the interview?
2NE1: Yes, first we want to thank you for listening to our music and caring for us. We plan to show ourselves on TV programs and with our concert coming up, we hope you cheer us on and encourage us. Thank you!

[Article] 2NE1 Makes a Smashing Comeback with 'I Am The Best'


Androgynous. Fierce. Bad*ss. 2NE1 definitely made a scorching hot comeback on Inkigayo with their latest single, 'I Am The Best'. With the MV delayed, Blackjacks were eagerly anticipating the first live performance of the song. Among the excited pack, YGL had more than 900 Blackjacks online to cheer for 2NE1's comeback stage, making it the highest number of simultaneous online user we ever had. With a plethora of groups making a comeback, 2NE1 surely made a statement with this intensified, show-stopping performance.

2NE1 picked a quite an opportune time to have their comeback, as last night's episode of SBS Inkigayo was filled with great stages. SBS' yearly Summer Special is designed to celebrate the return of summer and boasts great collaboration stages and tributes. This isn't 2NE1's first Summer Special, the girls introduced the Baek Kyoung Remix of I Don't Care during Inkigayo's 2009 Summer Special.




This may arguably be 2NE1's best music show interview segment. The girls’ interview with IU and f(x)’ Sulli was not only lit up by their clothes blazing with awesome, but also with their unique high-energy personalities soaring through the roof. Highlights of the talk wereDara’s promise to have more frequent Inkigayo stages and Bom’s doll-like figure. Dara professed how they missed everyone so much and assured hungry Blackjacks that they will be present in another Inki session next week while Bom revealed the new secret to her appealing figure: watermelons.

Shortly after Inki aired, netizens took to their keyboards to comment on Minzy and Dara's hair, and Bom's new "watermelon diet." Funny and informative, this interview was everything it was supposed to be.

It was long until the moment we have all been waiting for began. When Teddy talked about ‘I Am the Best’ being reminiscent of ‘Fire’, he was not kidding. The similarities did not end with catchy dance tunes because with their most recent release, 2NE1 really went back to their roots and embraced their original swag, style-wise.

You have seen an impressive come back performance from the girls after nine long months. Now, fans just need to wait for their sweet return next week. In the interim, we can feast on the coming 'I Am the Best' MV to be released in a couple of hours from now tomorrow, 9AM KST!

Who's excited?

[News] 2NE1’s Park Bom’s new ‘Watermelon Diet’


Since last year Park Bom has been on diet several times and revealed her pictures on me2day.

She began with lettuce diet, which is having lettuce as a main dish, avoiding high calorie food such as meat and dairy products. She uploaded a picture her slim body after the diet and it made the fans awe.

Then, she continued with corn diet: Corn is widely known as a diet food since it consists of protein, minerals, fibers, and vitamins.

On the 26th at SBS’s Inkigayo, Park Bom earned a title as Barbie doll figure, and she said, “I eat watermelon for meals,” revealing her new watermelon diet.

Meanwhile, another member of 2NE1, Sandara Park, had preposterous hairstyle which reminded of the one of Vegeta from Japanese manga, Dragon Ball.

[News] 2NE1 speaks with Cyworld about ''I am the Best'' their favourite 2NE1 songs and their role models



Hello~ Cyworld members~!
This is 2NE1 coming back with the upbeat club tune, 'I am the Best'.
We're coming back after such a long time, thank you to those who waited for us during that time~^^

Please introduce your new single, 'I am the Best'.

CL: 'I am the Best' is a song that was produced by YG's main producer, Teddy oppa. It's a song that shows a completely different style of 2NE1 compared to Lonely. You can feel it from the title, and the provocative lyrics are really a characteristic point. It's an upbeat song that can even be reminiscent of our debut song, 'Fire'!

Dara: In our choreography, we have something called 'The Best Dance'~ While we were practicing the dance, we all wondered, how can we make the moves look more like they're "the best"? We practiced while pondering that question~^^ Please anticipate it a lot~!

Coming back after so long, what activities are you planning for 'I am the Best'?

CL: It seems like with this single, we'll be able to see everyone once again through broadcast performances after such a long time! In addition, in July, we will be releasing our mini album, and on August 27th and 28th, we will even be having 2NE1's first solo concert!!! We are planning to have several activities this summer.

Everyone please spend your hot summer with 2NE1! Please give a lot of love to our new single~! And please watch out for our future activities too!





Please speak a bit about some previous 2NE1 songs that have held some importance to you.

[Dara's Recommendation]
For me, it's Fire! It's our debut song, and in addition, thinking about how it was through this song we first met our fans adds deeper meaning to me!

[Park Bom's Recommendation]
My solo song that was released a while ago! 'Don't Cry'. Thank you very much to all the fans who showed it love!

[Minji's Recommendation]
Of course, our song that received the most love~ 'I Don't Care', It has very deep meaning to me since so many people sang along to it and gave it so much love!

[CL's Recommendation]
For me, although it's not one of the previous songs we promoted, I want to choose our new single this time, 'I am the Best'. Since it's our song that lets us meet our fans again after 9 months, it has a special meaning to me!





Do you have a role model as an artist? And please recommend some of their music as well.

[Dara's Role Model - Um Junghwa]
Whether it's on stage or in her compositions, Um Junghwa sunbae-nim is my role model who always shows a new side of her. I feel that it's really amazing how with both her acting and her singing, she's never let go of either of those careers. I want to recommend the song that she released while at YG, "D.I.S.C.O".

[Park Bom's Role Model - Beyonce]
She dominates the stage with her charisma and her powerful voice, and gives amazing performances that completely grasps her audience. I think she's really a perfect artist. The song I want to recommend is her recently released single, 'Best thing I never had'.

[Minji's Role Model - Michael Jackson]
Michael Jackson, I don't need to say more, right? With his name alone, the legend, Michael Jackson will forever be my role model. The song I recommend is 'Thriller'.

[CL's Role Model - Madonna]
Madonna: She has her very own philosophy and originality, and seeing how she always passionately pursues new paths makes me really respect her. I recommend her song 'Celebration', featuring Akon.

제 제 제일 잘 나가

Oh my god

[봄] 누가 봐도 내가 좀 죽여주잖아
alright
둘째가라면 이 몸이 서럽잖아
alright

[다라] 넌 뒤를 따라오지만
난 앞만 보고 질주해
네가 앉은 테이블 위를 뛰어다녀
I don’t care

[CL] 건드리면 감당 못해
I’m hot hot hot hot fire
뒤집어지기 전에
제발 누가 날 좀 말려

[민지] 옷장을 열어 가장
상큼한 옷을 걸치고
거울에 비친 내 얼굴을
꼼꼼히 살피고
지금은 여덟 시
약속시간은 여덟 시 반
도도한 걸음으로 나선 이 밤

[CL] 내가 제일 잘 나가
내가 제일 잘 나가
내가 제일 잘 나가
내가 제일 잘 나가
제 제 제일 잘 나가

[민지] 내가 봐도 내가 좀 끝내주잖아
alright
네가 나라도 이 몸이 부럽잖아
alright

[봄] 남자들은 날 돌아보고
여자들은 따라해
내가 앉은 이 자리를
매일 넘봐 피곤해

[다라] 선수인척 폼만 잡는
어리버리한 Playa
넌 바람 빠진 타이어처럼
보기 좋게 차여

[CL] 어떤 비교도 난 거부해
이건 겸손한 얘기
가치를 논하자면 난
Billion dollar baby

뭘 쫌 아는 사람들은
다 알아서 알아봐
아무나 잡고 물어봐

누가 제일 잘 나가
내가 제일 잘 나가
내가 제일 잘 나가
내가 제일 잘 나가
내가 제일 잘 나가
제 제 제일 잘 나가

[CL] 누가 네가 나보다 더 잘 나가
No no no no Na na na na
