An 8.8 magnitude earthquake hit Japan, where girl group 2NE1 is currently staying.

On the 11th, the group’s debut single “Go Away” was released in Japan, and ahead of their debut, their sales for the single was doing well, as said by local representatives. YG Entertainment agency’s representative said, “The local staff weren’t able to call, and it got us concerned,” he said, “So we got worried about where the four members were.”

He continued, “Today, they were set to perform in Asahi TV “Music Station,” but their debut has been canceled, and their promotions are postponed,” he further states, “2NE1 was originally scheduled to return to the country on the 12th, but the local airports are closed right now, so we are watching the future situation.”

He also said, “2NE1 was staying in one of the well-designed buildings in Japan, but because of the strength of the earthquake, the walls cracked,” he continued, “Unfortunately, 2NE1 cannot showcase their debut performance, but they are safe and without harm, so it’s a relief.”

2NE1 was originally set to debut on Asahi TV “Music Station.” But the performance itself was canceled as an aftermath of the earthquake, and their debut has been postponed.

    BE SAFE GIRLS! BE SAFE DARA! EVERYONE IS WORRIED FOR THE GIRLS. My relatives who are walling in facebook are very very terrified to think they’ve been in Japan for many years now…and then the FOUR of you 2NE1 just got there in Japan…so I can feel you are more more extra petrified. BE SAFE! God Bless! I can’t contact my brother, and I am praying for DARA and 2NE1 too.

    I have a feeling they can’t come back to S Korea the next day because of the major damage that it created. I’m just glad they’re okay but I have a feeling they might feeling anxious since they are away from their families in a time like this. I bet YG and the BB boys are also worried about our girls. 😦
