Twitter/Photo: Candy Nippon – “Xin is a stylist of 2NE1…”

Ohhh! Looks like 2NE1’s stylist visited “Fake Tokyo” earlier today? Did they visit to get more clothes for 2NE1? Whatever their purpose, I hope they style the girls in a way that fit them best! ^^

Video: 2NE1 – “I Love You” Dance Practice

OMG!!! CAN I JUST FREAKING SAY? DARA LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FREAKING GORGEOUS IN THIS ONE! MY JAW DROPPED WHEN I SAW HER! I WANT HER TO MARRY THIS HAIR! 

On the other hand, go maknaes! You can dance and grind like no other. Bommie, always as cute as ever.

On the other hand, I abhor the camera angles and the editing of this video. Can’t they just have a video camera on a tripod and just film it? We would have appreciated the dance better.

Their larger-than-life stage presence and natural charm were already enough to make them stars but their uncanny ability to produce something fresh and out of the ordinary with every new release — catching fans and casual listeners off-guard without exception — has placed them in a league of their own.

Just three years after their debut, they have become one of the most popular K-pop groups today, turning heads all around the world, from Korea and Japan to the United States and Brazil. They were at the Cannes Lions, presenting K-pop’s spread at the advertising world’s biggest event. Spin Magazine ranked the group’s sophomore EP “2nd Mini Album” No. 6 on its review of best pop albums, above those by Florence + the Machine, Coldplay, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna and fellow K-pop act Girls’ Generation.

For the group’s members, C.L., Bom, Dara and Minzy, success has come from hard work and the willingness to venture outside their comfort zone. But the girls’ surprisingly introverted demeanor at the interview, in stark contrast to their free-wheeling energy on stage, made the occasion even more intriguing, trying to discover the formula behind the hitherto foolproof K-pop magic potion.

“For 2NE1, it’s always been all about music,” said rapper and vocalist C.L., 21, who was the most engaging during last week’s interview but saved her words for later. “People really respond to that.”

News: Park Taehwan’s Ideal Type, Sandara Park, Leaves Him A “Fighting” Message, “Listening To 2NE1 With Your Headphones Will Cheer You On!”

Park Taehwan’s Ideal Type, Sandara Park, Leaves Him A “Fighting” Message, “Listening To 2NE1 With Your Headphones Will Cheer You On!”

“Listen to our music with your headphones to gain strength!”

The Men’s Swimming Event for 200m, 400m, and 1500m, would be held on the 28th for the Summer Olympics in London. One of the competitors aiming for the gold medal is Korea’s “Marine Boy” Park Taehwan. His ideal type, Sandara Park sent him a “fighting” message for his event.

In the midst of releasing their new song, 2NE1’s “I Love You,” which is a big hit, Sports Seoul was able to interview Sandara Park, where she gave a message of encouragement to Park Taehwan.

Sandara Park said, “Park Taehwan is an amazing athelete, and I believe that he will continue doing well.” Park Taehwan is the first Korean athelete to win an Olympic Gold Medal in swimming, having won the 2008 Beijing Olympic men’s 400m swimming event. He is also well known for the fact that he listens to music through his headphone to relax, right before going up for a match. Sandara Park added, “I wish that you would listen to 2NE1’s music through your headphones before your event, and I hope that our music would cheer you on and give you strength,” she said.

On December 2010, these two celebrities appeared in KBS2 “Win Win – Park Taehwan Guesting,” where they formed a connection. At that time, Park Taehwan revealed that Sandara Park was his ideal type. The latter then appeared as a surprise guest for the swimmer, creating a warm atmosphere.
