Via tokyohive:
South Korean girl group 2NE1 will make their official Japanese debut by releasing their first Japanese album “2NE1” on March 16th, but today TV Asahi announced that they’re already schedule to perform on their long-running music program “Music Station” on March 11th.
This will make them the first foreign artist in Japan that will receive the honor to perform on Music Station prior to their actual Japanese debut.
The four members of 2NE1 – CL, MINZY, DARA and BOM – will arrive in Japan on March 9th and two days later they will perform for the first time on Music Station. Since 2NE1 is known for their wonderful music, performances and individual styles, their Japanese fans can’t wait for them to perform on the show.
Leader CL is enthusiastic about their Japanese debut, “We want to appeal to everyone in Japan with our individuality as a group and with our different characters.”

CSJH or “THE GRACE”. They are also called the female TVXQ… They are a girlgroup of SME… They are really good group. They sing so good and dance so good too. But i dont know why they disappeared…
I’m so excited, but kinda nervous at the same time! And I love how they said FOREIGN ARTIST and not KPOP ARTIST! 🙂
Yep me too! I’m also excited with their Japan debut I know that 2NE1 will rock the world of their Japanese fans. 2NE1 fighting!!! ^_^
I hope they do well and the japanese will like their music. I’m just scared that Avex won’t promote them well. I hope Avex won’t treat them as they treat CSJH.
