2NE1, K-Pop Sensations, Heading To America for Two Shows

2NE1, the female Korean pop quartet that has become an overseas sensation in their three years together, have plotted their first international tour — the New Evolution trek — that will include the group’s debut stops in the United States.

CL, Dara, Bom and Minzy will head to 10 cities in seven countries this summer, including Newark, NJ on Aug. 17 and Los Angeles on Aug. 24. A 49-second tour trailer released earlier this month demonstrates the glittery fashion and eye-popping theatrics of a 2NE1 concert.

We feel very blessed for this opportunity to tour worldwide. We’ve been working with an awesome team and can’t wait to hit the road and rock out with our fans,” says CL in a statement. “We’re especially looking forward to coming back to the states for our first official US shows.

2NE1 gained momentum last year when they were crowned “Best New Band In The World” in an international vote held by MTV Iggy. The group’s hits include the international smash “I Am The Best,” “Ugly” and “I Love You,” the latter of which received an official music video earlier this month that has already racked up 7.3 million YouTube views. The song is currently No. 1 on Billboard’s K-Pop Hot 100 chart.

Along with the two U.S. shows, 2NE1 will also perform in Korea and Japan on the tour; the full itinerary is below.

July 28: Seoul, Korea (Olympic Gymnastics Stadium)
July 29: Seoul, Korea (Olympic Gymnastics Stadium)
Aug. 17: Newark, N.J. (Prudential Center)
Aug. 24: Los Angeles, Calif. (Nokia Theatre)
Sept. 1: Osaka, Japan
Sept. 2: Osaka, Japan
Sept. 7: Nagoya, Japan
Sept. 8: Nagoya, Japan
Sept. 11: Yokohama, Japan

News: 2NE1 Members Find Singing Easier than Talking

2NE1 Members Find Singing Easier than Talking

While the 2NE1 members were attending the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in France, they also shot some amazing photos with fashion magazine, W.

Issued in the August edition of W magazine, the pictorial revealed the 2NE1 members wearing very distinct outfits and unique accessories such as Sandara Park’s giant pom-poms or Minzy′s winged hat.

The magazine also showed some pictures from when 2NE1 was speaking at the Festival in June.

During the interview with W, 2NE1 discussed its newest single I Love You and its upcoming global tour concert, New Evolution, which will take place on July 28 and 29 in Seoul, before moving to the rest of the world.

When told that their performances in Korea were shortened due to their upcoming concert, CL replied, “We were a bit sad, but because the first concert is in Seoul, we were able to feel a bit better. We’re currently really busy, preparing for the concert and our next single, but we’re a lot happier when we’re working rather than just resting.”

W asked, “Choosing between standing on the first comeback stage or talking at the Festival, which one is harder?”

“Talking is definitely harder,” said Sandara Park.

CL added, “At a performance, we’re able to transform into something completely different, but at settings like this one, we have to show ourselves, so it makes us nervous at times.”

The complete interview and pictorial can be found in the August issue of W magazine.
