2NE1’s ‘Come Back Home’ MV Beyond Imagination – Four Girls From Space

2ne1

[마이데일리 = 전원 기자] YG’s 2NE1 marked their full-scale comeback by unveiling a very unique music video.

At 2:01 pm on March 3, the music videos of the title song “COME BACK HOME” and another track “HAPPY” from their 2nd full album were unveiled at the same time.

The MV of “COME BACK HOME” was especially striking. While maintaining the powerful and charismatic images of 2NE1, the surreal alien-like ambience of a different planet was prominent. The equipment and outfits remind you of the outer space, and 2NE1’s acting sets them apart from their usual image. The newest MV was even more embellished by the members’ unique visual effects and dynamic computer graphic work that could be seen in movies.

DARA made an attempt at acting out somewhat forlorn physical affection with a foreign man, lying on the sofa closely attached to him. She adds to the sorrowful ambience in a scene where tears roll down her face.

2NE1 is set to deliver a comeback performance of their 2nd full album for the first time on SBS’s Inkigayo on March 9.

19년전-서태지-컴백홈-안무짰던-양현석-2NE1-춤도-완성..왜

[스타뉴스 길혜성 기자] As girl group 2NE1 (CL, DARA, BOM, and MINZY) is drawing a big attention by disclosing the music of their new album and new music videos, people are now paying keen attention to what kind of performance they will showcase on the stage.

Notably, the biggest spotlight is shed on the performance of “COME BACK HOME”, one of the double title tracks of 2NE1’s new album and the main title for performance on TV, which has been sweeping the No.1 places in major music charts in and out the country upon being unveiled.

The performance of “COME BACK HOME” was disclosed for the first time to the audience of the first concert of 2NE1’s second world tour, which was held on March 1 and 2 at Olympic Park SK Handball Hall located in Seoul. The choreography for “COME BACK HOME” is generally dynamic but tender at the same time.

At the concert, MINZY electrified the audience by showing the details of the new dance for “COME BACK HOME”, popping the chest and waving the torso to move forward, saying “this is the point dance for ‘COME BACK HOME’, which was created by our boss (Yang Hyun Suk).

Since Yang Hyun Suk choreographed “COME BACK HOME” of Seotaiji and Boys (Seo Taiji, Yang Hyun Suk, and Lee Juno), the most popular idol boy group 19 years back in 1995, such remark of 2NE1 drew all the more attention.

Yang Hyun Suk has recently been so busy working not only as the head of Korea’s biggest music label YG Entertainment, but also as a producer, mixing engineer, and music video editor, evolving from one of the best dancers in the 1990’s. That is why he has left choreography for YG singers to professional choreographers rather than doing it himself. Then, why has he choreographed the point dance of 2NE1’s new song “COME BACK HOME”, a song that has the same title with Seo Taiji and Boys’ song for which he created the choreography, for himself?

According to an insider of the world of choreography on the 4, Yang came to take part in the choreography for 2NE1’s “COME BACK HOME”, as 2NE1 and the choreography team for “COME BACK HOME” asked for his help.

The insider said, “Yang Hyun Suk had given a lot of ideas for the choreography of BIGBANG’s ‘LIE’ and ‘LAST FAREWELL’, but he has been so busy ever since, so he has left choreography to professional choreography teams recently. However, this time, the choreography team and 2NE1 had difficulties with creating the point dance, so finally, they asked for Yang’s help”.

The insider went on to say, “As it has been so long since Yang Hyun Suk danced on the stage, Yang was rather embarrassed when he received the request. However, he moved his body and gave his idea about the point dance in five minutes. Yang’s dance satisfied both 2NE1 and the choreography team”.

“The point dance created by Yang Hyun Suk is applied from the part of lyrics ‘come back home’, the point where the melody part turns into the hip-hop part. Yang also thinks that it is very meaningful for him to take part in the choreography of a song that has the same title with one of his hits 19 years ago, and he enjoyed the work a lot”.

2NE1 is to disclose the point dance of “COME BACK HOME”, which was created by Yang Hyun Suk, for the first time in SBS “INKIGAYO” on the 9 this month, which will be 2NE1’s first performance of a song in their second regular album on TV.

Meanwhile, 2NE1 has shown a strong power on music charts with their double title track “COME BACK HOME” and “GOTTA BE YOU” sweeping No.1 places in Korea’s major music charts and iTunes’ main album chart of many countries, upon the release of all the songs included in their second regular album on February 27.

2NE1 disclosed the music video of “COME BACK HOME” and “HAPPY” in the afternoon on the 3 and they will release the off-line version of their second regular album on the 7.

News: US Fuse TV Spotlights 2NE1 ~ “Cannot Help Loving Them”

US Fuse TV Spotlights 2NE1 ~ “Cannot Help Loving Them”

201402270812210410_1

[OSEN=Kim Gyeongju] US FUSE TV made headlines of 2NE1’s recently released regular 2nd album.

In last 27, FUSE TV generally introduced 2NE1’s second album ‘CRUSH’ and analyzed 2NE1’s 9 strengths.

FUSE TV introduced 2NE1 as “it has contributed to raise K-pop’s international status and had successfully completed its world tour as the first Korean girl group, and worked with Will.i.am, having 6.4 millions of facebook followers and 2.1 million You tube subscribers. The TV described its new album ‘CRUSH’, “Final master piece of new challenge and experiment”.

First reason why people have to love ‘CRUSH’ is ‘Returning to Their Roots’. Most listeners’ introduction to 2NE1 comes via the ferocious “I Am the Best,” arguably their signature tune. From the first notes of album opener “Crush,” it’s clear that the girls are back. While the quartet played around with reggae pop and acoustic ballads in past singles like “Falling in Love”, this feels like the statement 2NE1 needed to truly make a comeback.

The second reason is ‘Reggae/Trap Hybrid Lead Single “Come Back Home”.’ Crush’s lead single “Come Back Home” mashes two seemingly disparate genres and makes them into one smokin’ single. Starting with a bouncy beat, the girls croon about losing a lover, asking their baby to “come back home” until the single’s production flips into a heavy trap beat. The ambitious song should stand up well next to past 2NE1 singles.

The third reason is ‘We’re Getting Four Music Videos!!!’ and fourth is “Potential to Sell A Lot”. FUSE TV said, “As one of the top K-pop acts to make moves Stateside, Crush raced into the Top 10 of the iTunes Albums chart despite no American promo. Still, with four music videos already planned, the LP could be a steady-seller versus falling off the chart after one week.”

There are also others reasons: “2NE1 manage to convey heart-wrenching concepts without throwing their feel-good vibe out the window,” and “Both “Good to You” and “Baby I Miss You” prove that the quartet can deliver clean, crisp vocals on top of soothing piano beats. The latter boasts a synthy lounge vibe with a notable verse from CL, whose flow is right on point.” Also “Scream” actually ended up fiercer with this K-pop rendition. “Come Back Home (Unplugged Version)” puts a much-welcome spotlight.

Starting from March of 1 to 2, 2NE1 will firstly deliver its performance in second world tour ‘ALL OR NOTHING’ held in Olympic Park SK Olympic handball stadium.
