News: 2NE1 and Sagging Snail Hit Melon’s Roof Simultaneously; “I Love You” Hits the Roof for the 8th Time
Hitting the roof on one of Korea’s most popular music sites, MelOn, is no easy task, unless you’re 2NE1 and Sagging Snail!
2NE1 has hit the roof on MelOn’s real time charts multiple times since the release of their latest single, “I Love You“, displaying the immense popularity of the song as well as the group’s wide appeal.
What’s special about the latest real time chart is that not just one, but two groups have hit the roof simultaneously! This is something that hardly ever happens, especially at the same time. To determine real time chart positions, MelOn takes into account streaming (40%) and downloads (60%) every hour. Thus, not only does it depend on mass streaming, it also depends on how many are willing to purchase the song.
For MelOn’s real time chart at 8AM and 9AM KST, Yoo Jae Suk and Lee Juk (Sagging Snail) have claimed first place by hitting the roof alongside 2NE1 with their newest track, “Punk in the Corner“. Although Sagging Snail was currently in the lead at 8AM, 2NE1 has taken back the #1 spot at 9AM, leaving the competition neck and neck between one of the nation’s top girl groups and the nation’s favorite MC.
Congratulations to both!
As of 11:00AM KST, 2NE1 is holding on to their #1 spot because its their home sweet home.
To those who are curious, here is Sagging Snail by Yoo Jae Suk and Lee Juk:

News: 2NE1’s “I Love You” to Include Many Sultry Movements; Yang Hyun Suk to Minzy: “Tone Down the Sexiness”
Yang Hyun Suk to 2NE1’s Minzy – ‘Tone Down the Sexiness’
Papa bear Yang Hyun Suk is looking out for his cubs and has given special instructions to 2NE1’s Minzy for the group’s upcoming promotions.
In 2NE1’s new track I Love You, 2NE1 will be going for a sizzling and sexy concept for the track.
However, one 2NE1 member, the underage Minzy, is being given special instructions to try and refrain from doing so.
Fans have been particularly interested in the choreography for I Love You after it was revealed Yang Hyun Suk himself had taken part in creating the choreography.
Having burst onto the Korean gayo scene in the early 90s with his powerful dancing, many have been looking forward to seeing what secrets and wisdoms the dance guru has imparted on the group.
In previous interviews, the YG Entertainment head stated that the choreography for 2NE1’s I Love You will include many sultry movements using the lower-half of the body and other sexy moves as song’s main dance points.
However, Yang Hyun Suk’s concern for Minzy, as a minor, led to him issuing special instructions to the 2NE1 dancer to try and suppress her sexy moves.
Even for the 2NE1 members’ teaser photos, special attention was given to Minzy to avoid wearing revealing outfits due to Yang Hyun Suk’s same concerns.
In a past variety program appearance, Minzy had stated, “I’m just dancing but others tell me when they watch me that it’s too sexy. I think subconsciously these [sexy] dance moves just come out.”
A source for YG Entertainment also spoke on the upcoming music video for I Love You saying, “While filming the music video we were all shocked at 2NE1’s appearance. We never knew [the members] had such a sexy side to them. All the staff members gave them a thumbs up at the end. It will be good to anticipate the music video.”
With 2NE1 planning to hold its comeback stage on SBS’ Inkigayo on July 8, all eyes are on 2NE1 to see how hot the 2NE1 members will make the stage and how successful Minzy will be in attempting to tone down her sexy moves.

News: “It’s Painful for Me to Look at 2NE1″ – Yang Hyun Suk
The tough president of YG Entertainment, Yang Hyun Suk, expressed his surprising feelings about 2NE1’s recent comeback. He revealed that he was bothered by the fact that he was not able to give his full attention to the ladies’ return.
During the interview he explained to OSEN, “Lately, whenever I see 2NE1, it hurts me. Normally when company artists are set to make a comeback, even for the few months prior to their return I will spend night and day, eating with them, and taking care of them. Although, this time was different as I failed to provide that for 2NE1.”
Yang Hyun Suk had a very busy start to the calendar year due to his involvement as a judge of SBS’ audition program, “K-Pop Star.” 2NE1 had to compete with their label-mates overlapping schedules so there was less time to focus on their comeback.
“2NE1 is finally making their comeback after a long wait in July, during this time many other singers are also making their comebacks. Because of this literal, ‘comeback boom’ I should have spent more time with 2NE1 and I feel deeply sorry about it. So during the last week I have canceled everything in my schedule so all of my focus would be on 2NE1 at all times with their choreography, songs, and whatever else they needed,” he said.
Yang Hyun Suk continued, “To the members of 2NE1 who are like my own daughters, at this time I feel both remorse and gratitude. Because I was unable to pay the respect and attention to you as I would have liked, it is my intention to focus on 2NE1 wholeheartedly until the end of 2012.”
Not only does 2NE1 come to Yang Hyun Suk’s mind but also their fans who have stuck with the ladies. All the support the fans have for them he has not forgotten that. So, to the fans he promised, “Also to the fans, I am terribly sorry as well. The only way I can repay you, is by working harder for 2NE1.”
Recently, it had been announced that Yang Hyun Suk had accepted the role to be a judge on the second season of “K-Pop Star.” He will participate as a judge in the second half of this year on “K-Pop Star 2.” Discussions for the upcoming season of the show along with a few company issues have kept the CEO insanely busy.
“I have been much too busy, I have not been able to even rest due to work at the office. Yet, when I was with 2NE1, I did my best not to seem tired. I did not want to give 2NE1 any added trouble by worrying them. The past week I spent with 2NE1 was rewarding, all the time spent working on the comeback was well worth it,” his comments revealed his feelings for 2NE1, along with his increasing expectations for their comeback.
On July 28 and 29, they will kick off their “New Evolution” tour in Seoul at the Seoul Gymnastics Stadium before heading taking the tour internationally. The group is expected to perform for fans in ten cities throughout seven countries including Asia, the Americas, and Europe.
