2NE1 – “I Love You” : B+
I think this is a really intelligent move by K-Poppers 2NE1, who have the pressure of what might be the most widely anticipated comeback of the year. Wins via the MTV Iggy Awards and their collaborations with artists like m-Flo and Will.I.Am have spread their buzz far and wide. The products of these collaborations haven’t been more than “meh” though, so some original material was necessary to keep the train chugging. Instead of going for a guaranteed hit, YG Entertainment focused on showinggrowth, and “I Love You” displays that in spades.
The reason so many non-Korean fans have such hopes for 2NE1 is they avoid a lot of the negatives that other K-Pop groups are saddled with: four members instead of 7 or 9, sex appeal over aegyo, and a style that translates easily to any pop market. “I Love You” is an extension of these positives, a club-hard beat, spotlights on each of the members, and a tone that, while just as exciting, is a completely different tone than the balls-out swagger that “I Am The Best” displayed.
There’s a bit of disappointment brewing in regards to hardcore K-Pop fans, mostly claiming that the song is “nothing special” and a bit “typical.” But it serves the quartet well that they are willing to do a bit of a reintroduction after the sudden worldwide surprise of “I Am The Best,” something to get fans new and old on the same page. Also, it’s just the first single. Chill out.
Weeeee! Dara’s hairstyle, her old Filipino movies, and 2NE1’s fashion and make-up, all in one video! ^^

During M! Countdown pre-recording, the staff gave away 2NE1-signed New Evolution posters. Dara’s poster is so cute. Not only did she sign it, but she left cute drawings here and there. ^^ There’s a kiss drawing, a “bansak hairstyle” Dara drawing, etc. ^^ Dara always makes stuff more personal.

YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk is now the camera man.
On July 11, 2NE1’s “I Love You” dance video was posted on the YG official blog. He filmed the members practicing and showed off their relaxed side. This footage was filmed by Yang Hyun Suk.
Last year, the video of 2NE1’s “I am the Best” dance video was also filmed by Yang Hyun Suk gained much attention.
Yang Hyun Suk, who is a former member of famous group Seo Taiji and Boys, is now a CEO of his own entertainment company. Above all, he knows about music and dance. He knows how to move at a certain point and how to dance and make the audience shout.
Many YG idol groups talk about Yang Hyun Suk on reality TV shows. From these shows, you can see how close he is to the idol groups. Yang Hyun Suk is always with his singers. He looks over the performances and always checks up on them. He praises his artists when they do something right or show them how to fix their mistakes.
Out of many singers in Korea, YG Entertainment singers seem to have their own style. These singers have fun on stage and interact with their fans. It is because Yang Hyun Suk believes that we shouldn’t keep the artists tied to one style but rather help them grow in their own skill and talent and show it to the world.
One YG official stated, “All the events and happenings that go on are all by him. Although he is the CEO, he works hard to be on the same level as the artists, which the singers appreciate.”
Yang Hyun Suk does not have an intricate method as to how he makes his artists. He simply lets go of his title of CEO and helps his artists find their true colors and makes them shine. He believes in always experimenting and trying shocking styles.
