Interview: 2NE1’s Interview With Cyworld for “I AM THE BEST”

What’s up! We’re 2NE1!

Hello~ All the members of Cyworld~!

2NE1 is back with exciting club tune, “I Am The Best.”

After a long time, we are finally back, we really appreciate your patience in waiting for us~^^

Please introduce your newest single “I Am The Best.”

CL: “I Am The Best” is a song by Teddy-oppa, who is one of YG’s producers. It’s very different from our previous song, “Lonely,” in that it shows a different color of 2NE1. From the title, you can already feel that it is provocative, and the lyrics are empowering, it’s a really exciting song that is quite similar to our debut single, “Fire.”

Dara: We also have the choreography that’s called “The Best Dance” ~ We practiced really hard for the dance, so our actions would come out better? I showed a bit of how I looked like during I Am The Best practice, so it’s a lot of fun~ Please give us a lot of expectations~!

You will be coming back after a long time, what are your plans for “I Am The Best” activities?

CL: It’s been a long time eve since we did broadcast activities, so we are looking forward to meeting everyone again through our single! Then in July, our mini-album would be released, then 2NE1’s solo concert on August 27 and 28!!! This summer, we really expect to be active.

It’s really going to be a hot summer with 2NE1! Show their new singles a lot of love and support~! Also, please stay tuned for their future activities!

Please tell us what 2NE1 song is the most meaningful to you.

[Dara’s Recommended Song] For me, it’s “Fire!” This is our debut song, and also, it’s more meaningful, I think, because through this song, we got to meet our fans for the first time

[Park Bom’s Recommended Song] It’s my solo that was revealed a while ago! It’s “Don’t Cry.” It showed me that I have a lot of fans, so everyone, thank you so much for giving me a lot of love!

[Minji’s Recommended Song] The one that received so much love ~ “I Don’t Care” it means a lot to me when people sing and follow us when we sing it because it shows that they love it too!

[CL’s Recommended Song] It’s been a while since we did any activities, so instead of recommending a past song, I’d go with “I Am The Best.” It’s been 9 months since we met the fans directly, so this would be quite meaningful!

As a singer, who is your role model? Please recommend their music also.

[Dara’s Role Model – Uhm Jung Hwa] Whether it’s on stage or work ethics or portraying a new look, my role model has always been Uhm Jung Hwa sunbae (T/N: Sunbae = senior). Whether she’s acting or singing, this rabbit never fails to feel excited and think highly of her, and I try to never miss out on anything new. I would like to recommend her collaboration with YG, the song, “D.I.S.C.O.”

[Parl Bom’s Role Model – Beyonce] On stage, she exudes such charisma and powerful vocals, and she always amazes the audience with her brilliant performances. I really think that she’s the perfect artist. From her new songs, I’d recomment her single, “The Best I Never Had.”

[Minji’s Role Model – Michael Jackson] Michael Jackson, do I need to say anything more? The name alone is already a legend, Michael Jackson will always be my rolemodel. My recommended song would be “Thriller.”

[CL’s Role Model – Madonna] She has her own phiosophy and originality, and she always looks passionately to try out something new, so I look up to her. For my recommended song, it’s “Celebration,” which is a collaboration between her and Akon.
