[OSEN=Park Hyun-min] Girl group 2NE1 member Dara and Bom organized a promotional team and they are spreading their role through internet TV ‘Double Park TV.’

‘Double Park TV’ is named after Dara Park and Bom Park. The two are out of control in low-budget internet broadcast ‘Park Sisters TV’ which will be released in a guerrilla format.

On 13th at noon ‘Double Park TV’ first episode was released via YG’s official blog. On this image Dara is holding a microphone that reads ‘communications director’ and Bom ‘communications agent’. The two talks freely as if there is no camera.

the two girls are ambitious and whimsy enough to say that their rival is ‘FROM YG’ which is YG Entertainment’s official cite for fans and artists to communicate.

‘Double TV’ talks about their new song and suddenly talks about cutlassfish in Jeju. They talk nonsense and the video is edited with gungse captions which look awkward yet witty. They are promoting YG families which seems to be a success for now.

The two sell socks in Hongdae playground for their promotion funds. They also take one of their fans into their car and get feedback of their new song. The two are showing off their extraordinary ideas in this ‘Double Park TV’

The first guest of ‘Double Park’s Call Taxi’ was Kang Seung-yoon. Despite the two girls’ sudden request, he played Bom’s ‘You & I“ right away with his guitar. Bom and Kang Seung-yoon made a beautiful harmony streaming on live.

They said their role model is Kim Gura who is famous for speaking maliciously. However, to Kang Seung-yoon, Bom and Dara showed their affection toward their junior. Especially Bom bonded of sympathy when talking about his difficulties of dancing.

Meanwhile, ‘Double Park TV’ episode 1 part 3 will be aired on 13th 8PM.

The new song not only knocked down South Korean music charts but also is sweeping across 5 iTunes charts including in Taiwan, the Philippines and Indonesia.

2NE1 revealed the music video of ‘DO YOU LOVE ME’ in the morning of August 8, and made their first television appearance with the song on Mnet’s M Countdown.

Article: Can Anyone Stop 2NE1 from Taking Over the World? “Unstoppable 2NE1!”

CAN ANYONE STOP 2NE1 FROM TAKING OVER THE WORLD?

201308100748770502_52057222bb0d5_59_20130810075102

[해리슨의 엔터~뷰 (Enter-View)] Many fans were excited to hear that South Korea’s top girl group 2NE1 and the officially debuted ex-contestant of Superstar K KANG SEUNG YOON will both appear on KBS’s Music Bank. For a while YG Entertainment’s artists were not seen on any of KBS’s channels, so their recent news on long-awaited KBS appearance must have quenched the thirst of many music fans.

Fans were especially waiting with much patience for 2NE1, as after their last summer’s big digital single hit ‘I LOVE YOU’, the group only focused on holding a world tour.

Fortunately, after CL’s (the leader of the group) successful solo debut, 2NE1 kicked off their return to the music market with the reggae-influenced ‘FALLING IN LOVE’ in summer 2013. They proudly moved on to sweep across music ranking programs like MBC’s Show! Music Center, SBS’s Inkigayo and Mnet’s M Countdown.

2NE1 also made an appearance on variety shows like ‘Hwashin’ and ‘Running Man,’ attempting a great transformation since they were only focused on music-related activities until now. Many viewed them as ‘unapproachable’ in the past, but now they have successfully metamorphosed into ‘clumsy but lovely and cute’ idols.

‘DO YOU LOVE ME’, which was released on August 7, ranked number 1 as soon as its music video and the song were released. 2NE1 is in the midst of unleashing their full potential.

Their latest song is a summer-targeted one with exciting and rhythmic beat to it. It will succeed 2NE1’s previous summer big hits ‘GO AWAY’ and ‘I AM THE BEST’. All eyes are on the girl group now as they are having their first national television performance on Music Bank for the first time in 3 long years.

2NE1 will also be returning to ‘Yoo Hee-yeol’s Sketchbook’ in 4 years, a program on which G-DRAGON and MINZY appeared on October 19 last year. This is nothing but exciting news to the fans.

We hope to see more of 2NE1 on different programs, after their long-awaited ‘field trip’ to KBS soon, and of course other YG’s musicians as well.

The sensational journey begins now for 2NE1 who is heating up the music world this summer.

News: 2NE1’s MR Removed Video Proves They are Queens of Live Performance.. “Flawless”

2NE1’S MR REMOVED VIDEO PROVES THEY ARE THE QUEENS OF LIVE PERFORMANCE

[OSEN=임영진 기자] 2NE1’s MR (Music Recorded) removed live performance video, which means there is no music in the background, proved that they are the queens of live performances.

On August 7, with the release of their new song ‘DO YOU LOVE ME’, 2NE1 has been actively promoting their song on various music programs. 2NE1, already known for their charismatic performances, aroused much attention with their live performance skills, which proved them the queens of singing live.

2NE1-MR제거-영상-등장..라이브-최강-인증

Every time 2NE1 made an appearance on television, video clips of MR removed performance video of 2NE1 have been posted on online communities. It is only natural one needs time to catch a breath when doing dynamic dance moves. But 2NE1 is showing no signs of exhaustion after such energetic moves, proving their remarkable musical skills.

Many online users commented, “Removing MR is a waste of time,” “The only surviving group after removing MR,” “2NE1’s songs are much harder to sing than they look. You won’t be able to sing it. They’re just amazing.”

Their singing skills were already shown in the video revealed before their official comeback. 2NE1’s choreography video was posted on YG’s official blog, where the members perform their new song live. Many artists lip sync during rehearsal or practices to look after their vocal conditions, but 2NE1 sticks to the professionalism by always doing a live performance.

This applies to the predecessor of ‘DO YOU LOVE ME’ as well, titled ‘FALLING IN LOVE,’ and CL’s solo song ‘THE BADDEST FEMALE’.

Such effort of 2NE1 helped differentiate them from other girl groups who are only defined by sexy or cute. 2NE1 is known for having their very own color. Many praise their musical performance, as their singing is not influenced by their dynamic and energetic performance. Their song is often revealed in South Korea and overseas at the same time, and they boast a solid fan base abroad.

Thanks to their popularity and talents, 2NE1 is one and only girl group in South Korea who can hold exclusive concerts. Due to low demand, exclusive concerts are not even an option for many girl groups in the South Korean music market, thus 2NE1’s ability to do so holds much significance. The group even carried out a world tour with Live Nation, the number one overseas event organizing company, as the first South Korean female artist.

2NE1 is releasing a new song every month from July to October, starting with their big hit ‘FALLING IN LOVE.’ Their August song ‘DO YOU LOVE ME’ topped major music charts immediately after the release, and is maintaining its popularity by staying in the top range of music chart ranks.
