As three of K-pop’s biggest acts 2NE1, CNBLUE and Girls’ Generation have reached audiences worldwide and managed to rack up a slew of international accolades, many in just the last 12 months.
Each group has held concerts past on their home continent, with CNBLUE most recently bringing its Korean rock to New York City’s Best Buy Theatre in January. All boast appearances on multiple Billboard charts, as 2NE1 and Girls’ Generation may possibly break Billboard 200 K-pop chart records this week. Plus, 2NE1 brought its hip-hop-meets-EDM sound to will.i.am’s “#willpower” album; CNBLUE continues to garner comparisons to Maroon 5 and Jason Mraz, and Girls’ Generation‘s sugary-sweet “I Got a Boy” video won the very-first video of the year award at the YouTube Music Awards over Justin Bieber, One Direction and Miley Cyrus.
The top-tier acts all dropped new singles within days of each other — but which is the standout K-pop release? Vote now in the poll below to show us why “Come Back Home,” “Can’t Stop” or “Mr.Mr.” is the hottest release of the moment:
The lead single off 2NE1‘s long-awaited “Crush” album, “Come Back Home” mashes up reggae and trap beats for a musical hybrid that also scales the girls’ emotional ranges: The quartet pleads a lover to “come back home” on the verse and chorus, but flips to seductive cooing when the beat drops. In less than 48 hours, the single’s CGI-heavy video has amassed 2.1 million views.
Take another listen to each new single from 2NE1, CNBLUE and Girls’ Generation, and vote for your favorite now!

[OSEN=Park Hyun Min] A girl group 2NE1’s regular 2nd album ‘CRUSH’ is going to be released in Korean lyrics in Japan on 19th.
2NE1 have been releasing the songs that they released in Japan by changing the lyrics into Japanese so far, but they decided to release this album in Korean lyrics.
In regards to this, the associate of an agency YG Entertainment said “Among the associates in Japan who listened to Korean album, the reactions towards the original song were good so we decided to release it the way it is” and conveyed.
2NE1 successfully finished the world tour Seoul concert ‘ALL OR NOTHING’ that took place at Olympics Park SK Olympics Handball Stadium in Bangee-dong, Seoul on March 1st and 2nd and plans to continue that heat in Japan also. Especially in Japan, they are planning to hold the world tour at Yokohama Arena on July 5th~6th and at Kobe World Memorial Hall on 12th~13th.
Meanwhile, 2NE1 is getting lots of love after releasing the regular 2nd album. They not only completely dominated 1st place on 10 online music charts but also, the music video of the title song ‘COME BACK HOME’ looks like SF movie and is getting positive comments in both Korea and overseas and exceeded 1.6 million views on YouTube in just one day.
2NE1 will release offline album of regular 2nd album in Korea on March 7th and is going to have first comeback stage through SBS ‘Popular Music’ on March 9th.

Dara is so inspiring! You’ve inspired all of us who are struggling with our weight to go go go and face a new challenge with a good spirit! We can do this as well! FIGHTING! ^_^
Especially for AON, a two-month long, secret project with Hwangssabu-nim to create abs, done in the company building’s gym. Special thanks to @Hwangssabu
It’s been 9 years since I met Hwangssabu-nim until now. Because I’ve been exercising consistently and made it a lifestyle ever since I was a trainee, I’ve had 11-shaped abs for a while now, but never showed them on stage; for this tour though, I wanted to show something new, so I asked if six-pack abs would be possible? And he said that it was very possible!
Our dance team, High Tech, decided to sculpt their bodies that time as well, so I exercised with them, and together we had a storm of exercise. Thank you, High Tech ^.^v But Ssabu-nim was really busy during that period, and I was also caught up in the preparations for the album and then preparations for the concert piled up too, so there were times that I exercised less and moments when I wanted to abandon my diet ㅠ.ㅠ Huhu…
Then one day!!! I started to see a square on my stomach!!! Because I only knew about six-packs, I wondered if I had to work harder because I only had 4?! I asked Hwangssabu-nim, and he taught me something new. He said that each person is born different, and that I originally had 4
According to him, different people can have 4, 6,8, or 10-pack. And I only had a 4-pack!!! +.+ It was really amazing. But the concept of my abs is sexy and cute. My abs~ Have cute belly fat underneath them because it adds a more feminine touch~ Kya~
And that’s how four-packDara came to be. What happened even two days before the performance? I wanted to give up at that time also, but thanks to Hwangssabu-niim who gave his support and encouraged me not to ^_^ I think that it’s a good thing to have a goal and to keep pushing yourself to try a new challenge. Let’s all work hard and give it our best~ Hwangssabu rules!!! Fighting!!!

Nice interview! ^^ Leadah CL-roo steps up during English interviews, and I like how she speaks for 2NE1 as a group. “We prepared for a very long time, so it’s definitely a big turning point for us, as 2NE1, and we have all kinds of song in there: we sing, rap, goes from hip-hop to electro to RnB to everything. If you just check it out, if you just hear it, listen to it, you’ll know it.” And yes CL, we really do love the album, even at first listen! ^_^ “I think it’s been two years since our last tour. We didn’t have our album out, but we still went on tour. And we’re all about having fun, and when we’re on tour we love to meet our fans from all around the world, because we stay in Korea most of the time, so that’s what we want to do.” Hooray for more countries to meet new fans! More countries please, YG! ❤ And how cute is Dara’s soft and sweet “I love you” in the end? ❤

YG has been known for producing individualistic artists like JINUSEAN, 1TYM, BIGBANG and 2NE1. As BIGBANG and 2NE1’s popularity became borderless, YG is getting endless emails about auditions from many aspiring foreigners who dream of becoming singers.
The enquiries come especially frequently from the Chinese-speaking region, as YG artists are becoming more and more popular in the region. YG is holding an audition in this part of the world, an area where many talents are, to find a gemstone that would become the next BIGBANG and 2NE1.
BIGBANG and 2NE1 left a message to encourage people, “We heard the land is vast and the population is big. There must be many who are talented in singing, dancing and rapping. Come for the YG audition now!”
Personnel related to YG audition said, “As this is a global audition held in Greater China for the first time, we hope many talented people with dreams will actively take part.”
