This has caused quite a controversy not just in the international Blackjack community but in Korea well. What do you guys think about YG releasing a video of “Future 2NE1” and his statement after?
YG Releases Footage of the “Future 2NE1”
YG Entertainment uploaded practice room footage of four trainees to the YG YouTube channelyesterday. YG is normally pretty tight-lipped about upcoming acts, so the footage attracted a lot of attention. However, what really stirred up interest was the video’s title, Future 2NE1 (4 Years Later).
Not all publicity is good publicity. So far the trainee footage received mixed reactions from the general public. Many netizens praised the girls’ obvious dancing and singing talent, but others were concerned about the provocative nature of the choreography, considering that all four girls are under fourteen.
2NE1 fans have specifically expressed neutral to negative reactions to the video. Some even speculated whether the trainees were meant to replace the members of the senior group; Not a completely wild accusation if you take the video’s title into account.
YG CEO Yang Hyun Suk addressed the rumor directly through Naver News, saying that the video “was called future 2NE1 because they are working hard to be a great girl group like their 2NE1 unnies. 2NE1 will always consist of CL, Dara, Bom and Minzy. There will be no member changes, so fans should not misunderstand or worry.” (via Naver)

How can they even promote a new boy group if just releasing or introducing a girl trainees makes you all wildly angry??!my gosh.
The dance reminds me of 2ne1 pre-debut practice.
Whether it was a marketing ploy or not, it didn’t go well with me. Personally, the timing was off and came across as an insensitive act. And, I’m not really liking YG’s promotion (or lack thereof) of 2ne1 this time around. So, YG your not my favorite person right now!>.<
Their dance and outfit reminds me of Miss A not 2NE1. YG always does that kind of thing in promoting new artists. 2NE1 = Female BigBang, New Girl Group = SNSD YG Version and now 12-13 year-old girls = Future 2NE1 hehe
what was YG thinking??? It could be a marketing ploy but it is done in bad taste. I don’t like it. Why not drop more teasers for 2ne1’s comeback rather than showing this video? I hardly seen enough teasers for this comeback!!!! PFTTTTTT
YG is training many girl groups now eh?? what about boys? LOL no one can beat BIgbang. BUT… i’m quite threatened of YG’s future 2ne1 thing… it’s not a good trademark. hmph. 2ne1 is original. there’s no other 2ne1.. the 4 girls are more like a dancing group, miss a thingy.. 🙂 2ne1 girls are performers! they rocked the stage.. they’re artists.. YG you troll :p
yg should think first what will be the fans reaction before he upload such kind of video with that kind of title as well.yg ur such a ‘hmmp’.
YG is a troll and a very smart troll.
who wouldn’t feel worried when most of the comments you’ll read about the video was not the one you’have expected to be..
