Twitter: Ryan Bang Tells Dara About her “Kalokalike” on Showtime

Kalokalike is a segment in Showtime (noon variety show in the Philippines), where fans, who look like (kalokalike is word play on “ka look-alike” and “kaloka” which means “drives me crazy”) certain celebrities (or think they do, kekeke), spoof/cosplay said celebrities in a talent showcase. For this contestant, she sang and danced to Dara’s “In Or Out” and did the intro of 2NE1’s “Fire.”

RYAN: You were in Showtime earlier. In Kalokalike, hehe

DARA: Really? So fun! I’m not in my right mind today. Tomorrow’s our comeback already. I feel like there’s butterflies in my stomach, but I’m not nervous!

Comeback D-2 2NE1, Turns Into Eygptian Goddess

201307051715772823_51d685452e889_59_20130705173702

More and more people are awaiting for 2NE1‘s comeback with their new reggae style song as they reveal the above image. In the image, 2NE1 turned into an Egyptian goddess.
On 5th, 2NE1 revealed their comeback photo through Naver Music. In the background is what seems to be sun-filled Egypt. 2NE1 boasted their charismatic grandeur in light outfits.

In the previous teaser, 2NE1 demonstrated an image of bright girls enjoying the beach. More are looking forward to 2NE1‘s new single that would be more than just a summer song as this teaser describes a charismatic image of 2NE1 as well.
Known for the strongest sound source power among girl groups, 2NE1 have announced they will perform the singe on stage prior to the sound source release. On 7th, 2NE1 will be staging their comeback performance on SBS ‘Inkigayo‘, a day before the sound source release of their new single ‘Falling In Love‘.
Many wonder whether the Egyptian goddess image will be demonstrated on the stage as well.

2NE1 has been tirelessly working on their new single, released a year after last year’s trot-style ‘I Love You‘, even by inviting a foreign choreographer for a new level of performance. 2NE1 plans to show up more frequently on both screen and stage.

[Star Cast][Dara’s Report on 2NE1 Comeback] D-2, The Most Important Thing in Preparing For a Comeback? Improving Fitness!

Hello, everyone! I’m Dara, the PR manager of 2NE1. Nice to meet you Naver StarCast. Drum roll! We are making a comeback on July 8th with the song ‘FALLING IN LOVE’, a year after we performed ‘I LOVE YOU’ in 2012. Are you curious about what we did over the past year? Look forward to the comeback report by me, Dara!

D-2

2NE1 are very busy preparing for a comeback these days! Because of the rising temperature, these days are especially difficult. So we try to improve our fitness to prepare for the comeback by working out with Master Hwang. One’s health is what is more important than anything else! Every one, let’s work out!

Article: 2NE1 Radical Strategy, Performance First..Their Hidden Weapon?

2NE1_Naver

2NE1 goes a different route by releasing a performance before the song and raises curiosity as to what their ‘secret weapon’ will be. So far they have been the center of attention amongst their peers with their overpowering performance, so to release a performance before a song shows their confidence.

The order that ‘singers release their songs and then appear on music programs for their comeback performance’ is protocol in the music industry. The concern is that if the performance is revealed first, there could be illegal downloading or streaming affecting the sale. As a result, the performance is usually revealed last. In the case of 2NE1, a top group with guaranteed sales, this is an unprecedented feat.

Nevertheless, 2NE1 is scheduled to appear on SBS ‘Inkigayo’ on the 7th before the release of their new single ‘Falling in Love’ on the 8th. Currently they are getting ready for the performance and have even hired a foreign choreographer.

What is especially unique about 2NE1’s performance is that the genre is new. In July last year, they remarkably crossed over genres with the teuroteu-like ‘I Love You’. This time, they are expected to surprise once more with reggae.

Fashion also plays a part in the fun. 2NE1 became the hot topic with ‘I Love You’ when they went with an unusual concept of wearing leopard prints, swaying scarves, and parrots on their shoulders. So it is expected that this time they will also cause a stir with fashion, choreography and accessories. YG will maintain their reputation of investing whatever they can for a perfect performance.

During their comeback with ‘I Love You,’ 2NE1 reeled in entertainment program appearances to focus on music programs. But considering the fact that they didn’t have much interactions with fans due to world tours, their plan is to do more TV appearances this time. They are slated to release one single per month until October and meet with their longtime fans.
