News: 2NE1 to assign one song to each broadcast… a fresh challenge

2NE1 is embarking in a new unique type of activities.

On the 1st, 2NE1 released their first album <To Anyone>. They are now scheduling to fix one title song to each of the music shows. This is risk is one of the new challenges that these girls are taking. For example, if <Can’t Nobody> is chosen for KBS, <Go Away> and <Clap Your Hands> will be performed on MBC and SBS.

2NE1’s company, YG stated, “From the beginning, we’ve planned to do activities without any regards to rankings. All three songs have a different feel to them. This plan was devised in order to have distinct and unique performances for each broadcast.”

2NE1’s representatives still have not confirmed the title songs with the broadcasting company. Starting on the 17th, with KBS 2TV <Music Bank>, after going through every single music show once, each broadcast will have a ‘fixed’ title song.

YG stated, “We have a rough outline but we still haven’t confirmed it yet. We are fine-tuning our understanding about each of the music shows, and we will fully prepare in order to come up with great performances.”

Up till the 13th, the 5th day since their comeback 2NE1’s force is already as fierce as ever. They have created an unusual sight on all the online music charts, such as Melon, Cyworld, Dosirak, MNET, Bugs, etc. with the three of their title songs all fighting for first to third place. The concern surrounding the fact that it may be difficult to score first place on the online charts with three different songs is being extinguished. The situation for offline albums is the same. In only 5 days, 19 000 copies of their album has been sold. In addition, they have risen to 1st place on Hanteo Information System’s weekly chart.

Meanwhile, on the 13th, due to overwork while preparing for the comeback, Park Bom collapsed and was admitted into the hospital. It seems like she will returning to regular schedules starting on the 14th.

News: Notice on YG-Life: Can’t Nobody M/V Release Date Postponed to the 12th

Hello this is YG Entertainment.

2NE1’s music video for ‘Can’t Nobody’ was planned to be released today (the 11th) at 10AM however due to problems with production, we are letting you know that the release date has been changed in emergency to the 12th at 10AM.

In the case of ‘Can’t Nobody’, compared to the two prevoiusly released music videos, preparations and the production period for it took almost twice as long. Although it can be said that it’s a piece of work from YG that has had heart and soul poured into it as much as the time put into it, this work is one that requires a lot of editing for the second half of it. As a result, due to the director of the music video, Seo Hyunseung’s earnest request, the release date of the music video has inevitably been postponed for one day.

In order to repay the fans for their very energetic support and anticipation, we do believe that it’s fundamental to come through at the time that we had originally promised however rather than keeping our promise and pushing out an unfinished music video, we are preparing a more perfected appearance to be revealed, and this is a choice we made for 2NE1, who had worked hard to film it, and we are blindly hoping that what the fans want is the latter as well and postponed the release date by one day.

Regardless of the reason, because we could not release it on the promised date, we truly give our apologies, and we will take special care in the future to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.

Tomorrow at 10AM, 2NE1’s ‘Can’t Nobody’ Music Video will be released, and it will also be their first comeback performance on SBS Inkigayo.

We hope that fans will anticipate it very much, and hope that everyone will watch them.

Thank you.
