Q: Comeback song “I Love You” is an electro-pop song. Between personal feelings and giving the public a new type of feel, which type of feelings are more meaningful after trying out this new genre?
CL: I like meaningful things, but both feelings are important for a singer.
Dara: I also felt that no matter what, I’m still a singer performing on stage. So the reaction of the public feels more meaningful to me.
Q: Any reactions you girls have expected?
Dara: Although it’s always the same whenever we have a new song, I still hope that people will think that “it’s the new evolution” and that “2NE1 has such a side too”. Something like that especially when Minzy and CL are extremely sexy this time round. Even though we have shown this side of us before previously, I still hope that people will be surprised.
Bom: Even if they were singing children songs, they’ll be sexy naturally.
Minzy: The problem I face is that, since I’m still underage, I’ve often heard comments about people telling me to control my sexy dance moves.
Dara: The problem I have lies with my hair (laughs). There was a photo of my hair in the MV being uploaded and surprisingly, there were a lot of positive comments about it, saying that I suited the hairstyle. Because it’s a very daring hairstyle, I’m afraid that people might not like it. But they liked it in the end.
The girls are looking beautiful! I love how they are rocking the Parisienne look!
OMG! How fierce is this photoshoot?!? Dara looks oh so gorgeous and fierce at the same time! Our goddess is soooo edgy! Check out her feminine dress by Mary Katrantzou as well as DARA’S PHOTO WITH THUNDER! How gorgeous do they look together? I swear! PERFECT SIBLINGS! Their genes are just to die for!
Age is just a number between 2NE1 members. We’ve never drawn a line between unnie and dongsaeng. I think that’s how 2NE1 strives.
Our girls are looking fierce! Dara is totally rocking the androgynous look again! She’s both oh so pretty and handsome at the same time! Can’t wait for this issue to come out!

Slowly but surely, K-pop is opening up to western audiences. A sound built for Korean teenagers is now gaining attention from audiences of all ages and musical backgrounds, with Dummy favourite Grimes releasing the K-pop influenced track Phone Sex and Kanye West, Snoop Dogg and Will.i.am all reportedly lining up to work with K-pop artists such as 2NE1. It is also one of the most radical and popular digital artforms in the world.
Initially music created for an Asian demographic, K-pop, or Korean pop, is a wild hybrid of electronic, R&B, hip hop and trance. It’s pop music in its most potent state and, with its ultra-polished appearance and hyper-catchy melodies, it requires you to take everything you see and hear with a pinch of salt. But that’s part of the fun.
Maybe you’ve heard of the groups Super Junior, Teen Top, SHINee or 2NE1. You not have known that they are a part of a music industry that garnered over an estimated 200 million YouTube views last year. The manifestation of K-pop will be fascinating to watch over the next coming months and years. As many, from Monocle to In These Times have reported, K-pop is significantly tied to Korean politics and “soft power”.
The image the east Asian country presents is shifting from a corporate one with their electronics and car industry to, through its music and pop culture, one of an attractive, fascinating, glistening, and sometimes immaculate world, full of creativity beyond electronics. Korea is a country geographically very distant but increasingly approachable globally. As a result K-pop has been one gateway of completely educating and widening ones perspective of a country that in the past may have felt unfamiliar. Here is what you need to know about fascinating artform.
