On June 15th, CEO Yang Hyun Suk updated YG Entertainment’s ‘YG-Life‘ blog with some new info about 2NE1’s new mini-album, as well as their first solo concert.
The post reads:
“June 24th will see the release of the digital single, <I’m the Best>.
First of all, I would like to apologize for the delayed releases of 2NE1’s new songs due to internal problems. Following behind ‘Don’t Cry‘ and ‘Lonely‘ will be 2NE1’s newest track, ‘I’m the Best’, which is scheduled for June 24th.
The song was produced by YG’s main producer, Teddy, and is an electronic hip hop track that’s reminiscent of 2NE1’s debut song, ‘Fire‘. The style of the song will definitely be familiar to the youth who are used to clubbing culture.
Unlike the previous two songs, we do have plans of promoting this one on music programs. It will be the first time in nine months that the girls will promote actively on air after they concluded their first album promotions last year.
The music video for the song was directed by Seo Hyun Seung and will be released at 12:00 AM KST on the 24th concurrently with the digital single.
Our current date of release for 2NE1’s mini-album is July 21st. It will include the three releases, as well as two new tracks. Because it is an album that we have been working on for a long time, we have a lot of things planned. Further information will be updated at a later time.
–
On August 27th and 28th, 2NE1 will be holding their first solo concert at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park. The hall can seat 4,000 people per concert. Although it isn’t a big concert compared to other YG concerts, we wanted to make sure that 2NE1 would be able to work closely with their fans since it’s their first concert.
Tickets will be available for sale on July 7th, and further information will be posted on YG and 2NE1’s homepages next week.
Regarding ‘2NE1 Season 3‘, the broadcast date has yet to be finalized. ‘YG ON AIR‘ will continue to be broadcast in a guerrilla fashion, where we film whenever we have good ideas.
2NE1 will be crossing over to Japan in September after their Korean promotions for about two months of debut and promotional activities.
We ask that you give 2NE1 your anticipation and support, and I promise to return with more details regarding their album. Thank you.
FROM YG.”

A correction has been made via AllKpop. The first translated article (as posted before) said that Dara was #2. But, AKP translated it and said that Dara was at #3. Regardless, we ALL want to take her home with us right?!?
On a side note, I think I posted the wrong picture for this article (as seen above). I am honestly blinded by her beauty! Gah! So freaking beautiful!
IU and 2AM’s Jo Kwon were chosen by singers as the number 1 idol to take home to parents.
“Who are the top idols to take home to parents?,” was asked on the monthly poll of the June issue forSBS “Inkigayo” Magazine. This, following May’s poll topic of ‘the top idol to want to go on a spring outing with’.
Like the previous poll, performers on SBS “Inkigayo” including B2ST, After School, f(x), Jay Park, Baek Ji Young, Jewelry, Lim Jung Hee, Huh Young Sang, Rainbow, 5dolls, and B1A4, along with a number of staff members were all surveyed.
IU was the top pick out of the male idols with her adorable MC-ing and her innocent, lovely little bride look.
SNSD’s Taeyeon took 2nd with her unique friendliness and loveliness, whereas 3rd place was tied between 2NE1’s Sandara Park with her bursting charm and After School’s UEE with her sexy body, yet nice look.
Rainbow’s Woori and f(x)’s Victoria took 4th and 5th, respectively, receiving the most votes from the staff.
2AM’s Jo Kwon was the top pick out of the female idols. His actions from “We Got Married” and his thoughtfulness of his remark that, “the fact that I can serve my parents with devotion gives me the greatest happiness“, were the key factors in his top selection.
Jay Park took 2nd place with his pure and honest appeal, whereas Big Bang’s TOP and B2ST’s Yoon Doo Joon tied for 3rd. Following up, CNBLUE’s Jung Yonghwa took 4th and INFINITE’s Sung Gyuplaced 5th.
Jay Park, TOP, and Sung Gyu, all received fervent response from the female staff.
SBS “Inkigayo” Magazine published its first issue back in January of 2010, and monthly issues are given out for free at the beginning of each month at the SBS Broadcasting Center and SBS Deungchon public hall. The magazine covers interviews, photos from Inkigayo, and an array of curious topics that the viewers may have.
