INTERVIEW PORTION:

Korea’s “next generation pop icons” 2NE1 has made their much-awaited debut in Japan. On September 21, their first mini-album, titled NOLZA, would be released. Here’s the finest of pop, 2NE1, interview sheet:

●CL
NOLZA, in Korean, means “play.” Before we go up on stage, we always huddle and shout that out together. We want to give our all and play in Japan with all our hearts. We also have our first album in mind. Our songs in the 2NE1 album show a great deal of strong personality.

●MINZY
Don’t Stop The Music, which is our 5th song, is the kind of music that puts you in a good mood. If I want to jam or ease my tension, it’s the music that I want to listen to.

●DARA
I AM THE BEST, is our first song in the album, and it’s a good song to play while driving. The verses make you feel good, like you have nothing to worry about.

●BOM
UGLY, is our second song, if you are depressed and want to feel powerful, listen to it!

●DARA
I think that the best song is still I AM THE BEST! Our one song says I’m Ugly.. Then I listen to it, and it’s the total opposite. Haha! It’s fun!

●CL
LONELY expresses the loneliness that a woman may feel, and some people are surprised to know that it’s a 2NE1 song. I believe that 2NE1’s image is that of four strong women. I especially feel like I can be an Iron Woman, but I have a soft and feminine side.. I’m just a girl (T/N: Lyrics in Lonely) Ha ha!

On September 19th, 2NE1 would be meeting 70,000 people for their 1st Japan Tour, “NOLZA IN JAPAN.” This would be the first time that the four members would greet such a huge number.

●CL
The first time we performed in a concert in Japan, we were guests in BIG BANG’s concert. I think that the experience has helped us to face this.

●BOM
It’s always been our dream to do so, and we have come quite far, and have practiced a lot, and we hope to show you our best!

●DARA
It’s a really large-scale tour! I hope that everyone who have fun while playing!

●MINZY
I think that the tour would allow our Japanese fans to see 2NE1’s charm, and also an opportunity to play.
