Sandara Park, “Shaved Hairstyle Is CL’s Idea… Innocent?”

Girl group 2NE1 member, Sandara Park revealed her bansak (meaning “shaved”) hairstyle!

2NE1‘s new single “I Love You” had been recently released, and on the afternoon of the 8th, they had their comeback stage during the broadcast of SBS “Inkigayo.”

Sandara Park, who became a hot topic because of her recent bansak hairstyle, said, “It was CL’s idea. It’s become a trend nowadays,” then she turned to the camera and said, “Don’t I look innocent*?” she asked in a cute way.

In addition, on 2NE1’s new song, “I Love You,” the girls revealed, “We added a trot feel so that people from all ages coule appreciate this love song,” they said, “It’s a song that talks about a woman in love,” they explained.

“I Love You,” which was composed with Teddy, has a unique blend of electronic pop and trot. During their comeback stage, 2NE1 showed their unique fashion trend with a scarf tied around their wrists; their choreography for “I Love You,” emphasized the song’s atmosphere.

T/N: *청순 literally translates to “innocent” or “pure” it’s like a trend right now, like “청순 glamour” for innocent glamour, meaning someone with pure, white skin, innocent looks.

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.

Article: Soompi Gives An Exclusive Review For 2NE1’s I LOVE YOU

(YG Entertainment gave Soompi a chance to listen to “I Love You” prior to its release for the world’s first review of the song!)

2NE1 has come a long way since their 2009 debut track “Fire,” establishing themselves as a confident, sexy, and stylish hip-hop/R&B group. Their straight-in-your-face lyrics and I-don’t-care personality have made them clearly stand out from the rest of the pack, and it’s almost become a given that they come out with another single that exemplifies their strong and fearless attitude.

Enter their latest single, “I Love You.” This song produced by YG Entertainment’s resident producer, Teddy Park, and co-composed by Lydia Paek, whose previous work includes Park Bom’s “Don’t Cry,” is another upbeat, electro-based track, only with one clear distinction – it begs for love.

“I Love You” is an interesting track in that it takes 2NE1’s unflinching swagger into unexplored territory. With lyrics such as “All day I’m reminded of you. I keep staring at the silent phone. Why can’t you see my true feelings?”, it almost feels like we’re listening to a different group, especially when we’ve grown so accustomed to their strong and confident attitude in previous singles (re: “I Don’t Care,” “Go Away,” “I Am the Best,” and “Hate You,” just to name a few). Yet they do a perfect job with their vocals in portraying the emotions of a woman deeply in love (the lyrics sound almost too possessive).

The sound of the song, too, is very unconventional with different beats and sounds intertwined in each verse. This could at first give you the false impression of hearing a bunch of disjointed verses quickly playing. However, after a couple rounds, you’ll soon realize that Teddy did yet another magical job at turning what could have been an experimental piece into a masterpiece. Despite the lyrics that may at first feel atypical of a regular 2NE1 song, and the mysterious use/mix of completely different sounds, “I Love You” comes at you as an entirely new experience – and before you know it, the “I love you,” “Ooh,” and “yeah, yeah, yeah” chorus parts will continue to play in your head.

With “I Love You,” 2NE1 has another smash hit single in the making. This song proves 2NE1’s versatility in emotional delivery and musical talent, and it will only take them one step closer to their long-awaited global debut. We’re not sure what song they’ll pick as their English debut track yet, but if we had the choice, “I Love You” would definitely be one of the top choices.

“I Love You” will be released as a digital single through iTunes on July 5.
