2NE1 Tells Fans If They Are Showing A Sexy Concept On ‘Wide Entertainment News’

    The powerful female group of 2NE1 who are battling hard with the nine ladies of Girls’ Generation, took some time off to attend on the March 19, 2014 episode of Mnet’s “Wide Entertainment News.” The episode featured some questions that the girls were not really prepared to answer. Though the ladies came out with great answers in the end.

    The Questions

    The question in-which the MC asked them was regarding the concept of sexy since numerous females thus far has taken this route when they made their return. From Girl’s Day, AOA, Dal Shabet, and Rainbow Blaxx, to now Sunmi. The question asked was, “These days, a lot of girl groups are doing the sexy concept, but 2NE1’s not doing it because they can’t?”

    The answer for the girls was stated by Park Bom as she said, “What are you talking about? We’re so sexy.” After Park was done, Dara followed up by saying, “We’re doing it right now.” So this proves that the females of 2NE1 can be sexy as well “subtle and unique.”

    The last question that was asked was “what kind of love they wanted to try” which Park once again answered by saying, “I don’t want to get married right now.”

    What do you think? Are the ladies of 2NE1 really promoting a sexy concept?
