Updated with Trans! Video/Photos: 2NE1 Concert Naver Music Special

Special | 2NE1 on a special meeting, and concert site visit

This coming August 26 to 28, over a span of three days, 2NE1 would be holding their first solo concert, NOLZA, and prior to that, there was a special meeting made on August 16 at the YG Building. This was for the “2NE1 and Nave Music Event,” where fans who won the event got the chance to meet the girls. Even though they are busy preparing for their performances for the concert, 2NE1 took the time out of their busy day, and the members spent their time teaching the fans choreography and handing them presents, making it a precious and enjoyable time. We’re here to give everyone a sneak peek into that special scene.

#1 | WHAT’S UP WE’RE 2NE1!

2NE1 was busy rehearsing for their first concert in the practice room located at the basement of YG building.

The meeting that day was quite different, as it was special. At that point, 2NE1 themselves took the time to teach their guests the choreography of their songs.

Everything felt good, and under the warm lighting, everybody enjoyed a harmonious atmosphere as everybody prepared for a full-scale practice.

# 2 | I THINK I’M UGLY~

First, learning the steps of the song, ‘UGLY‘~

2NE1 went ahead and as one, taught them the dance movements.

During every pause, they would look at the fans and smile shyly, then give an awkward laugh right after.

Just at these cute members, 2NE1!

# 3 | CAN’T NOBODY & I Am The Best

Next, they learned the steps of the number one song of the regular album, ‘CAN’T NOBODY’!

At that time, everyone knew the popular point of the choreography, the “waiter dance” which they learned with Dara. The hard dance step was taught by Dara, who said “Thanks to the President (T/N: It was President YG who did that part of the choreography),” and ‘CAN’T NOBODY’ was taught without a glitch. Next, Bom followed it, teaching the step point of “I Am The Best,” which they all mastered perfectly (!).

#4 | A Souvenir Photo After Dance Rehearsals

It was a perfect opportunity, fans from places all over the world rarely even get this chance, but a polaroid photoshoot was in progress.

Everyone looks so friendly in every shot!

#5 | Although regretful, after a little while… SEE YOU SOON!

After their short photoshoot, the fans received a gift package, which 2NE1 themselves prepared.

Although it was regretful that the fans only got a short time to be with them, 2NE1 gave them a warm embrace and promised that they would meet again when they gave them concert tickets.

The video talked about her beomyeori hairstyle that became really popular when she did it. Then the 1984 line of celebrities. Then about her acting background. Some of my friends said that the article that showed her and GD was the one where they were voted as the artists that have a bright future in acting.

News: 2NE1 Concert, Guaranteed To Be A Unique Experience From Other Girl Groups

2NE1 Concert, Guaranteed To Be A Unique Experience From Other Girl Groups

Girl group 2NE1‘s first concert is highly expected.

On the 26th-28th, 2NE1 would be having their first solo concert, NOLZA, in Olympic Hall, at Seoul Olympic Park. Originally, it was supposed to be held only on the 27th and 28th, but because of the fact that the tickets were sold-off the moment they were released and because of the great attention it got from fans, YGE President, Yang Hyun Suk decided to add one more day to the concert.

Since their debut, this group has produced hits and trends, that led them to emerge as one of South Korea’s leading girl group. And this concert has garnered the interests not only from fans, but also from the industry. In fact, even YG Entertainment CEO, Yang Hyun Suk was not able to get tickets to give to his friends, because of the high concert tickets sales.

With their comeback this year, they already garnered 5 consecutive hits and all-kills, even gaining more ground for their concert, Nolza, with people wanting to see what more they could offer. Before the start of the concert, let’s take a look at 3 points that would be interesting:

Sandara Park’s “Cute” Transformation?

Sandara Park, who is the impressive member responsible for their image because of her cute looks and fresh vocals, would be transforming into a “cute” concept. In the concert, she and gagman, Park Myung Soo, would be performing “Naengmyun” on stage.

“Naengmyun” was a collaboration with SNSD’s Jessica in 2009, when they teamed up for “Infinite Challenge – Olympic Duet Song.” It became popular because of its fun lyrics and interesting music.

Jessica’s cute voice was the main “point” of the song, and fans are looking forward to how Sandara Park would perform it.

“Infinite Challenge” Performance… GD- Park Myung Soo – Park Bom “I cheated”

Along with special guests, Big Bang’s G-Dragon and comedian, Park Myungsoo, 2NE1’s Park Bom would be performing “I Cheated” on stage.

According to YG Entertainment, Big Bang’s G-Dragon and Park Myungsoo, would be attending the concert, as guests who would perform their “Infinite Challenge” hit song, “I Cheated.”

Before this, YG Producers, G-Dragon and Teddy, fully supported Park Myung Soo’s stint in “Infinity Challenge,” and wrote up the song. Park Myung Soo then demanded that it feature 2NE1’s Park Bom, much to the delight of the viewers.

In the festival where Bom was a secret guest, she showed an excellent performance on stage. Thanks to this broadcast, “I Cheated” swept several music charts for the top spot.

A YGE representative said, “For 2NE1’s first concert, we wanted the audience to really have fun, so we invited Park Myung Soo to be a special guest on stage, and despite his busy schedule, he accepted without any hesitation,” he explained.

Music and Fashion Collaboration

2NE1’s concert would not only show off their great music, but will also be combined with a fashionable concept, marked with several intense planning for the stage, to show off the best combination.

Known for being a trend setter in the music industry with their stylish outfits, 2NE1’s concert “NOLZA” would be showing several costumes that were prepared specifically for each stage.

Ever since their debut, 2NE1 has always called attention because of the group’s costumes and styles. It is already rumored that the costumes for this concert would play a huge impact. The stage outfits would surely be overwhelming and interesting.

In addition, a large screen with hologram, and several other technologies, are placed in the venue, to make “NOLZA” a more enjoyable experience for those attending. Their goal is for the fans to truly enjoy the concert and be able to see the stage.

This year, Don’t Cry, Lonely, I Am the Best, Hate You, and Ugly made an unprecedented record for five consecutive all-kills that 2NE1 achieved. For their first concert, NOLZA, amazing performances that will showcase the growth in their skills, and awesome songs, are expected by the music industry.
